    MRI is the most useful imaging modality for local staging in patients with radio-recurrent prostate cancer before salvage radical prostatectomy.

  • 2

    The meta-analysis included four studies with 94 patients, focusing on MRI's predictive value for extracapsular extension, seminal vesicle involvement, and lymph node involvement.

  • 3

    Pooled sensitivity and specificity of MRI for T3 assessment in treatment-naïve cohorts were 61% and 88%, respectively, indicating variable performance.

  • 4

    Studies using whole-mount specimens as references are limited, highlighting the need for more robust validation of MRI as a staging tool.

  • 5

    The analysis utilized the QUADAS-2 tool to assess risk of bias and applicability, ensuring the reliability of included studies.
