Overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of a change in MRI capturing pathologic progression.

Progression endpoints Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV

Change in MRI GG1–≥GG2 0.53 (0.44–0.61) 0.64 (0.58–0.70) 0.38 (0.30–0.46) 0.76 (0.71–0.81)

GG = Gleason grade group; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; NPV = negative predictive value; PPV = positive predictive value; PRECISE = Prostate Cancer Radiologic Estimation of Change in Sequential Evaluation.

A positive change in MRI is defined by a PRECISE score of ≥4, whereas negative/stable MRI is defined by a PRECISE score of <4.
