Study Type – Diagnostic (exploratory cohort) Level of Evidence 2b What’s known on the subject? and What does the study add? The strategy of prostate targeted biopsies to a multi‐parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp‐MRI)‐suspicious area was shown to improve biopsy results. Strategy of targeted b...
