Table 1 Assessment of likelihood of radiological change on magnetic resonance imaging in patients on active surveillance for prostate cancer (PRECISE score)

From: Promoting the use of the PRECISE score for prostate MRI during active surveillance: results from the ESOR Nicholas Gourtsoyiannis teaching fellowship

PRECISE score

Assessment of likelihood of radiological progression

1

Resolution of previous features suspicious on MRI

2

Reduction in volume and/or conspicuity of features suspicious for prostate cancer

3

Stable MRI appearance: no new focal/diffuse lesions

4

Significant increase in size and/or conspicuity of features suspicious for prostate cancer

5

Definite radiologic stage progression (ECE, SV involvement, LN involvement, metastasis)

  1. MRI magnetic resonance imaging, ECE extracapsular extension, SV seminal vesicle, LN lymph node
