Pepe P, et al. - From January 2016 to June 2019, 875 men underwent repeat saturation biopsy (SPBx) for the suspicion of cancer in order to assess the number of needle cores combined with multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) findings required to diagnose all clinically important cases of prostate cancer (csPCa) in men subjected to transperineal SPBx (30 cores).
