Recent advancements in diagnostic techniques, such as multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fusion prostate biopsies (PB), have significantly improved cancer detection rates; however, patient understanding of these procedures remains underexplored. Effective informed consent is essential for patient-centered care, yet patients often report feeling inadequately informed about medical procedures.
