**** Repeat biopsy after HGPIN should be based on PSA and DRE evolution, and mpMRI findings.

**** AIP describes lesions with greater architectural complexity and/or cytologic atypia than would be expected in HGPIN but lacking definitive criteria for the diagnosis of intraductal carcinoma (IDC-P). AIP encompasses many of the lesions formerly designated cribriform HGPIN, exhibiting loose cribriform architecture with moderate cytologic atypia, but lacking marked pleomorphism or necrosis.

AIP encompasses many of the lesions formerly designated cribriform HGPIN, exhibiting loose cribriform architecture with moderate cytologic atypia, but lacking marked pleomorphism or necrosis.
**** Given these associations, a diagnosis of AIP as either the sole finding or together with GG1 cancer only warrants additional testing, which may include early repeat systematic needle biopsy or MRI +/- targeted biopsy. The timing of additional testing should be based on reassessment of risk

***** If concern remains elevated for GG2+ based on PSA density, previous MRI findings, or other factors, the clinician and patient may consider adjunctive testing (blood, urine, or tissue tests), or MRI (if not previously performed) to further risk stratify the patient if results are likely to influence the decision regarding repeat biopsy or otherwise substantively change the patient’s management.
