Performance of prostate multiparametric MRI for prediction of prostate cancer extraprostatic extension according to NCCN risk categories: implication for surgical planning.

CONCLUSIONS: The performance of mpMRI for prediction of EPE varies greatly between different NCCN risk categories with a low positive predicting value in patients at low to favorable intermediate risk and a low negative predictive value in patients at Unfavorable intermediate to High risk PCa. Given that mpMRI EPE misdiagnosis could have a negative impact on oncological and functional outcomes, NCCN risk categories should be considered when interpreting mpMRI findings in PCa patients.
