    Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in older men, making accurate local staging crucial for prognosis and treatment planning.

  • 2

    Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) improves detection and localization of prostate cancer but has a sensitivity of only 61% for detecting T3 stages.

  • 3

    Inter-observer variability in mpMRI results may be influenced by the radiologists' experience, indicating a significant learning curve.

  • 4

    This study analyzed 430 patients to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of mpMRI for locally advanced prostate cancer stages before surgery.

  • 5

    The use of standardized reporting for mpMRI improved classification accuracy, with PI-RADS scores increasing from 0% in 2012 to 65.1% in 2016.
