Abstract:The study showed the underutilisation of informed consent and quality-of-life questionnaires. PSAd was not included as a decisive element in the initial strategy for most researchers. There was a lack of confidence in the urologists' mpMRI experience and an underutilisation of the transperineal pathway. There was also no consensus on the follow-up protocols and active treatment criteria, confirming the need for prospective studies to analyse the role of mpMRI and biomarkers.
