摘要

Dear Editor, The current standard 12?core systematic transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)?guided biopsy in prostate cancer diagnosis has the disadvantages of overdetecting indolent tumors, while failing to identify clinically significant cancers in up to 35%.1 Advances in imaging techniques, notably the multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), allow clinically significant prostate cancers to be detected with more precise localization.
