Abstract: Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men,with rapidly increasing incidence and mortality rates. Cur-rently,the advisability of performing prostate biopsy for men with PI-RADS scores of 1-3 is controversial. Aggressive biopsy may lead to over diagnosis,increasing patient suffering,whereas active surveillance may increase late diagnosis and disease progression. Accurately identify-ing cases that merit prostate biopsy is an important challenge in clinical practice. Recently,numerous studies have explored whether indi-viduals with PI-RADS scores of 1-3 should undergo prostate biopsy,but this recent research has not yet been systematically summarized and discussed. In this article,we summarize predictive factors indicating prostate biopsy in the PI-RADS 1-3 population and discuss their predict-ive value to provide new guidance for clinical practice and further research.
