Abstract

Biopsy deferral in men with a negative prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is gaining popularity in clinical practice, as mpMRI becomes integrated into prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostic pathways.1 However, clinically significant (cs)PCa may be diagnosed at subsequent template biopsy in men with negative pre-biopsy mpMRI.2 This study evaluated the proportion of men with csPCa diagnosis at template biopsy following a negative mpMRI and evaluated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density as a predictor of future positive template biopsy.
