摘要:
即使希望,更高的诊断准确度也不会自动关联于更好的结果。如果在经过验证的影像设备敏感性较低的环境中使用,重要的是预先确认前列腺特异性抗原膜基影像的高灵敏度将使患者受益,并且可能不会造成伤害。版权© 2023年欧洲泌尿外科协会。由爱思唯尔公司出版。版权所有。
Higher diagnostic accuracy, even if desirable, is not automatically associated with better outcomes. If used in settings validated with less sensitive imaging modalities, it is of paramount importance to prospectively ascertain that the higher sensitivity of prostate-specific antigen membrane-based imaging will benefit patients, and will probably not do harm.Copyright © 2023 European Association of Urology.
