Abstract
Context:
It remains unclear whether patients with a suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa)
and negative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) can safely obviate
prostate biopsy.
Objective:
To systematically review the literature assessing the negative predictive
value (NPV) of mpMRI in patients with a suspicion of PCa.
Evidence acquisition:
The Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases were searched up
to February 2016. Studies reporting prebiopsy mpMRI results using transrectal or
transperineal biopsy as a reference standard were included. We further selected for
meta-analysis studies with at least 10-core biopsies as the reference standard, mpMRI
comprising at least T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging, positive mpMRI
defined as a Prostate Imaging Reporting Data System/Likert score of 3/5 or 4/5,
