Dominant intraprostatic cancer confirmed by direct MRI-guided biopsy: Concordance with histopathological findings
Clinical Imaging Jun 14, 2018
Meermeier NP, et al. - Researchers examined the concordance between dominant intraprostatic cancer seen on endorectal multiparametric MRI and confirmed by MRI-targeted biopsy with histopathological findings at radical prostatectomy, since existing literature has highlighted the miss instead of the concordance rate of MRI. Twenty patients who underwent radical prostatectomy after a dominant intraprostatic cancer focus was identified at endorectal multiparametric MRI and confirmed by MRI-targeted biopsy were retrospectively identified. According to the findings, the dominant tumor as determined by endorectal multiparametric MRI and affirmed by a positive MRI-targeted biopsy had high concordance with histopathological findings at radical prostatectomy for location, and reasonable concordance for Gleason grade group.
