Underestimation of Prostate Cancer Grade in Transperineal Fusion Biopsy and Its Predictive Factors: Correlation of Biopsy Findings with Post-Da Vinci Radical Prostatectomy Specimens

The risk of this progression is primarily related to the histopathological features of the biopsy rather than to baseline clinical parameters, reflecting the limitations of biopsy as a sampling method and the biological heterogeneity of prostate cancer.
