Abstract

Two active surveillance risk calculators to predict disease reclassification on prostate biopsy are externally validated by the Movember Foundation's Global Action Plan (GAP3) consortium. They proved to be clinically useful and could reduce unnecessary biopsies, but need recalibration to local settings.
