Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Active surveillance (AS) offers a strategy to reduce overtreatment and now is a widely accepted treatment option for low-risk prostate cancer. An ideal tool for risk-stratification would detect aggressive cancers and exclude such men from taking up AS in the first place. We evaluate if a combination of transperineal template biopsy with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsy identifies significant prostate cancer amongst men initially diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer.
