In 15 out of 129 (%) patients targeted biopsy based on findings from the rapid biparametric MRI protocol revealed an increase of histological tumor grade compared to the diagnosis based on TRUS biopsy. In 3 out of 129 (2.3%) patients there was no targetable lesion identifiable on MRI Images although TRUS biopsy diagnosed a Gleason 3+4 (n=2) and 4+3 (n=1) cancer. In 6 out of 129 (4.7%) histological tumor grade increased from targeted to TRUS biopsy. However, diagnosis changed from clinically insignificant to significant cancer in 2 patients (1.6%).
