Association of Prostate Multiparametric MRI Parameters with Gleason Score: A Fusion Biopsy-Based Correlation

Correlation of MP-MRI-derived imaging parameters with histopathology results allows meaningful exploitation in clinical decision-making in prostate cancer diagnosis. Both the PI-RADS score and the ADC value were validated as reliable predictors of tumor aggressiveness. Although MRI-targeted fusion biopsies have gained more and more popularity in clinical practice, based on our data, no conclusion can be drawn as to their effect in decreasing the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies.
