		                        			:
		                        			Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of  the prostate is recently becoming more and more utilized in the detection of  prostate cancer. Studies have shown that a higher PIRADS score correlated to a higher chance of  obtaining a clinically significant prostate cancer but few studies have correlated PIRADS score to a specific Gleason score.
		                        		
		                        			OBJECTIVE:
		                        			This study aimed to determine the concordance of  PIRADS score to the Gleason score result of  MRI ultrasound fusion-guided prostate biopsy.
		                        		
		                        			METHODS:
		                        			All  patients  who  had  at  least  a  PIRADS  2  lesion  on  mpMRI  and  underwent  MRI  ultrasound  fusion-guided  biopsy  of   the  prostate  from  August  2018  up  to  November  2019  at  St.  Luke’s Medical Center, Global City were included in the study. An ambispective collection of  data was done until the ideal sample size of  greater than 100 positive lesions was obtained, in order to derive concordance rate.
		                        		
		                        			RESULTS:
		                        			One hundred and sixty-two patients were included in the study with a total of  212 lesions analyzed. Forty three percent were benign while 57% were found to be malignant. PIRADS 2 lesions had zero high grade cancers, and the percentage steadily increased with 37.8% of  PIRADS lesions considered high grade. Concordance was computed to be 0.38 showing a fair, direct concordance between PIRADS and Gleason score with significant result (p<0.05).
		                        		
		                        			CONCLUSION
		                        			A result of  PIRADS 4 or 5 lesion on mpMRI will have a higher urgency of  doing a  prostate  biopsy  and  subsequent  management  to  prevent  unfavorable  outcomes  as  opposed  to  PIRADS 3 lesions.
