Sivanesan N, Diaz G, Strachan S, Kandala K, Zhao X, Tan W, Leapman M, Sprenkle P. MRI-fusion biopsy era: the role of perineural invasion in low-risk prostate cancer. Current Problems In Cancer 2025, 59: 101251. PMID: 40946534, DOI: 10.1016/j.currproblcancer.2025.101251.Peer-Reviewed Original ResearchThis study investigates the role of perineural invasion in low-risk prostate cancer, showing it is not an independent predictor of Gleason score upgrading, while MRI-visible lesions and African American race are significant factors in disease progression.
