Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to evaluate the relationship between the tumor-capsule contact length, defined as tumor contact length (TCL), and extraprostatic extension (EPE) using the MRI-based TCL measurements and the real TCL measurements from pathology and to determine whether the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade group of the tumors influenced this relationship.
