Reliability of the different versions of Partin tables in predicting extraprostatic extension of prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite being the most commonly used predictive tool for prediction of EPE, the pooled EPE AUC for different versions of Partin tables showed poor discriminative performance. Thus, surgeons must be cautious when referring to Partin tables for prediction of EPE. Further external validation studies are required to confirm these results.
