139Background: Few studies have examined the accuracy of preoperative multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) in predicting adverse pathological features in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) for localized prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of preoperative MP-MRI for adverse pathologic features [extracapsular extension (ECE), seminal vesicle invasion (SVI), lymph node involvement (LNI) and high Gleason score) on postoperative pathologic staging after RP in 30 patients with localized PCa . Results: The median age and preoperative PSA were 62.5 years and 8.5 ng/mL, respectively.17 patients had ECE, 5 had SVI, 5 had LNI, and 15 had high risk Gleason score (4+3, tertiary pattern 5, 4+4 or higher). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of MP-MRI for ECE was 64.71% (95%CI 38.33 - 65.79), 92.31% (95% CI 63.97 - 99.81), 91.67% (95% CI 61.52 - 99.79), and 66.67% (9...
