Identification of apical periurethral TZ prostate cancers is important to help guide surgical and radiation therapy as these tumors are adjacent to critical structures. Because of the tendency to undersample the periurethral zone during TRUS biopsy, MRI-guided biopsy is particularly helpful for detecting apical periurethral TZ prostate cancers many of which prove to be clinically significant.
