Serum PTH levels were higher in patients with CaP than in patients with BPHand decreased significantly after radical prostatectomy. The present results suggest an association between serum PTH and CaP. Further large cohort studies are necessary to validate the present data. Serum PTH levels were higher in patients with CaP than in patients with BPH and decreased significantly after radical prostatectomy. The present results suggest an association between serum PTH and CaP. Further large cohort studies are necessary to validate the present data. The number of cores to be obtained in targeted biopsy (TB) is important. This study aimed to evaluate the TB outcomes in suspicious prostate lesions classified according to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) and to determine the ideal number of biopsy cores per lesion. This retrospective study included patients who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging-guided fusion prostate biopsy owing to increased serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and suspicious digital rectal examination outcomes in our institute. Patients with PI-RADS <3 lesions, PSA levels >10ng/ml, and a prior diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) (active surveillance) were excluded from the study. The number of biopsy cores to be obtained from each lesion was determined by the clinician. The study included a total of 418 patients and 684 lesions. Among PI-RADS 3 lesions, clinically significant PCa (sPCa) detection rate was similar in the lesions from which 2 and 3 cores were obtained (9.1% and 1be obtained from each suspicious lesion in TB depends on the characteristics of the lesions. Accordingly, while obtaining 2-3 biopsy cores could be adequate in PI-RADS 4 and 5 lesions, which have a serious
