Furthermore, none of the different BPH procedures demonstrated a higher risk of iPCa diagnosis. No significant variations in rates of iPCa could be observed. A small percentage of patients (4.15%) received treatments for iPCa, including radical prostatectomy (0.53%), radiotherapy (0.12%) and ADT (3.50%). Most patients (95.85%) did not receive active treatment for iPCa. CONCLUSIONS: There are several interesting findings from the present analysis. In general, the incidence of iPCa is very low (less than 3%) and remains stable over the years. None of the BPH procedures seems to be associated with a higher incidence of iPCa. An increase in the use of preoperative MRI in patients undergoing BPH surgery is accompanied by a concomitant decrease in rates of preoperative biopsies. Approximately 95% of patients with iPCa do not undergo active treatment.
