Abstract

We commend Alanee et al for their detailed description of prostate cancers not detected by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). 1 They analyzed radical prostatectomy findings for 33 men lacking mpMRI-conspicuous prostate cancer (defined as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System [PI-RADS] scores 1-2) on preoperative mpMRI. They found 27% (9/33) of men with negative mpMRI had Gleason Grade Group (GGG) 3-5 cancer at prostatectomy, including 9 with extraprostatic extension, and 1 with Gleason grade 5 + 5 disease. Ostensibly, these findings are at odds with contemporary evidence in which mpMRI-invisible disease harbors reassuring molecular and histopathological features (ie, overall GGG ≤2). 2 , 3 We believe that this discrepancy is attributable to certain methodological concerns, including quality of mpMRI acquisiton. 4
