  1. N°: Identification number of patients; Gleason: Gleason score (Addition of the two most frequent gleason score population); TNM: TNM staging; MRI: type of MRI machine; PSA: prostate specific antigen in ng/ml; M0: Time of diagnosis; nADC: normalized apparent coefficient value in 10−3 mm2/s; –: no value available; Tumor localization: PZ for peripheral zone, TZ for transition zone and CZ for central zone. NA if tumor invaded more than one localization; Magnetic Resonance Imaging field (Tesla).
