Challenges in magnetic resonance imaging-based detection of clinically significant prostate cancer in young patients: two alternative approaches
The positive rate of MRI positivity for clinically significant prostate cancer was found to be age dependent, exhibiting a significant decline in younger patients. Among young patients suspected of disease, both adjusting the cutoff value and incorporating a model were effective in minimizing unnecessary biopsies. Further large-scale prospective studies are warranted to validate our findings.
