Conclusion: D ’ Amico performs best at predicting insignifi cant (modifi ed defi nition) or Gleason 6 organ confi ned disease according to AIC, BIC and AUC, however, all 6 methods have a poor PPV. Our dataset included only 2 classically defi ned insignifi cant tumours of less than 0.5 cm3 rendering further analysis impossible. Th is refl ects diff erences between our UK cohort and screened USA and European cohorts in which these criteria were developed and validated. Low AUR values underline the need for a biomarker of indolent prostate cancer, and justify further investigation with confi rmatory transrectal biopsy, transperineal biopsy or MRI prior to embarking on an active surveillance program.
