Abstract

The PRECISION trial demonstrated the ability of using multiparametric MRI to improve the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer whilst reducing over-diagnosis of clinically insignificant cancer compared with systematic biopsy. Concerns remained about patients who were not biopsied owing to negative scans. A new study applies the PRECISION strategy to a contemporary cohort to answer these concerns.
