A combination of prostate-specific antigen density, mpMRI, and PSMA PET/CT may identify patients with adverse prostate cancer pathology.
In a study of 413 patients, 60% exhibited adverse pathology at radical prostatectomy.
The triple-positive profile showed 100% specificity and positive predictive value, but low sensitivity at 9%.
The study suggests this profile could guide future studies on biopsy-sparing diagnostic pathways.
The findings highlight the need for external validation before adopting these criteria in prospective studies.
