Combined Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Biomarker Testing to Detect Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer.
Review
Overview
abstract
We performed a narrative review of studies that produced clinically applicable data by examining the combined use of at least one biomarker test and multiparametric MRI to predict GG ≥2 prostate cancer on biopsy and by reporting the resultant clinical outcomes (i.e, the proportion of biopsies avoided and GG ≥2 cancers missed) following the application of various testing strategies incorporating these diagnostic tests.
