The Predictive Value of Endorectal 3 Tesla Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Extraprostatic Extension in Patients with Low, Intermediate and High Risk Prostate Cancer

Abstract

For adequate patient counseling, knowledge of predictive values of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for extraprostatic extension is of utmost importance. High negative predictive value, important for decisions on nerve sparing strategies at radical prostatectomy, is only reached in low risk subjects.
