- •
ADC could predict side-specific extracapsular extension in prostate cancer.
- •
We developed a nomogram using ADC to predict side-specific extracapsular extension.
- •
The nomogram aims to assist clinicians in confirming extracapsular extension.
- •
The nomogram could improve the diagnostic pathway and the therapeutic approach.
- •
The nomogram was externally validated with good results in terms of accuracy.
