Abstract

Combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted and systematic biopsies are associated with less upgrading but more downgrading at radical prostatectomy. Our findings highlight a potential net harm of performing combined MRI-targeted and systematic biopsies if pathologic downgrading is considered more detrimental than upgrading at prostatectomy.
