Abstract

Interpretation guidelines for prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging findings in the post-ablation setting are not available yet; this poses a significant challenge for accurate risk stratification in this clinical setting. Here we propose the development and implementation of a post-ablation Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System that would improve patient surveillance and management after prostate ablation for localized prostate cancer.
