We studied whether targeting multiple suspicious areas on prostate magnetic resonance imaging increases cancer detection. We found that patients with multiple lesions had a lower risk of prostate cancer than those with a single lesion. Targeting the largest suspicious area along with sampling the entire prostate led to the detection of most cancer cases, with little added benefit from targeting the other smaller areas.
