What degree of correlation (%) is there between:
(1). Gleason scores 1-10 resulting from prostate biopsies
(and)
(2). Pi-Rad scores 1-5 resulting from Tesla-3 MRI scans?
If there is a high correlation, the usefulness of prostate biopsies, the only real advantage of which is a Gleason score for staging therapy seems highly questionable.
If a low correlation, the usefulness of MRI scans seems questionable.
