CONCLUSION
The radiologists and clinicians should be awared of the possibility of
presence of features that may affect local staging, such as EPE
positivity, in the presence of lesions larger than 10 mm in which
prostate cancer is detected. For index lesion size, 10 mm was determined
as a cut-off value for the prediction of the positivity of SM and EPE,
which are prognostic factors affecting survival after RP. However, the
results obtained from our study need to be supported by prospective
studies with a higher number of patients.
