Excerpt

There are many reasons why MRI-targeted biopsies (MRTB) in men with positive MRI scans fail to detect high-grade cancers that are found incidentally by concurrent systemic biopsies. Multiple factors often acting together contribute to the missed diagnoses of ISUP GG ≥ 2 cancers and/or tumour under grading [1]. The most obvious cause is an MRI invisible lesion on a background of transition zone hyperplasia, peripheral zone scarring/inflammation, or in difficult to evaluate regions such as adjacency to the ejaculatory ducts, central zone, bladder, low apex, or the anterior fibromuscular stroma. Some histologic subtypes of GG ≥ 2 prostate cancers are also difficult to see such as non-mass forming (microfocal) GG2 cancers and small cribriform tumours. Inevitably, radiologic perception errors also contribute, related to image quality, observer experience and variability, and misclassifications errors. …
