Yüksel Ürün: Can biopsy be omitted after a negative MRI in suspected prostate cancer?

Yüksel Ürün, Medical Oncology Professor at Ankara University School of Medicine, shared a post on X about a paper by Charlie Hamm et al. published in JAMA Oncology:

“Can biopsy be omitted after a negative MRI in suspected prostate cancer?

  • In a 3-year study of 593 men, 48% had negative MRI results – 86% avoided biopsy.
  • Only 4% of those monitored developed clinically significant prostate cancer.
  • MRI has high negative predictive value, making biopsy omission safe with proper monitoring!”

Authors: Charlie Hamm, Patrick Asbach, Anna Pöhlmann, Frank König, Hannes Cash et al.
