Positive predictive value of the prostate imaging reporting and data system combined with single related indicators in prostate cancer across different prostate zones

Key Points

• The enhanced positive predictive value relates directly to specific clinical indicators for diagnosis.
• Increased PPV was noted when the PSA levels reached >10 ng/mL or PSAd was ≥0.15 ng/mL.
• Observational analysis across different prostate zones with clinical indicators improves accuracy of detection.
• The findings suggest potential improvements in prostate cancer screening by integrating additional indicators.
