There is great interest in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for men on active surveillance for prostate cancer. ⋯ This review assesses evidence for the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in men on active surveillance for prostate cancer. MRI at the start of surveillance can detect clinically significant disease in one-third to half of men. There are few data to assess the use of MRI as a monitoring tool during surveillance, so there is a need to define significant disease on MRI and significant changes over time.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Racial variation in prostate cancer upgrading and upstaging among men with low-risk clinical characteristics.
African American (AA) men suffer a higher prostate cancer (PCa) burden than other groups. ⋯ We analyzed two large groups of men with what appeared to be low-risk prostate cancer based on the initial biopsy findings. The likelihood of finding worse disease (higher grade or stage) at the time of surgery was similar across different racial groups.
