Evolution of Active Surveillance of Prostate Cancer: Impact of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Guided Biopsy, and Focal Therapy
Durability of AS may be linked to baseline MRGB. In men starting AS with MRGB and low-risk prostate cancer, subsequent MRI exhibits high negative predictive value, indicating routine follow-up biopsy is avoidable. In some men, FT may allow extension of AS and deferral of surgery or radiation.
