Abstract
Background Prostate cancer invades the capsule is a key factor in selecting appropriate treatment methods. Accurate preoperative prediction of extraprostatic extension (EPE) can help achieve precise selection of treatment plans. Purpose The aim of this study is to verify the diagnostic efficacy of tumor size, length of capsular contact (LCC), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and Amide proton transfer (APT) value in predicting EPE. Additionally, the study aims to investigate the potential additional value of APT for predicting EPE. Method This study include 47 tumor organ confined patients (age, 64.16 ± 9.18) and 50 EPE patients (age, 61.51 ± 8.82). The difference of tumor size, LCC, ADC and APT value between groups were compared. Binary logistic regression was used to screen the EPE predictors. The receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic performance of variables for predicting EPE. The diagnostic efficacy of combined models (model I: ADC+LCC+tumor size; model II: APT+LCC+tumor size; and model III: APT +ADC+LCC+tumor size) were also analyzed. Results APT, ADC, tumor size and the LCC were independent predictors of EPE. The area under the curve (AUC) of APT, ADC, tumor size and the LCC were 0.752, 0.665, 0.700 and 0.756, respectively. The AUC of model I, model II, and model III were 0.803, 0.845 and 0.869, respectively. The cutoff value of APT, ADC, tumor size and the LCC were 3.65%, 0.97×10-3mm2/s, 17.30mm and 10.78mm, respectively. The sensitivity/specificity of APT, ADC, tumor size and the LCC were 76%/89.4.0%, 80%/59.6%, 54%/78.9%, 72%/66%, respectively. The sensitivity/specificity of model I, Model II and Model III were 74%/72.3%, 82%/72.5% and 84%/80.9%, respectively. Data conclusion Amide proton transfer imaging has added value for predicting EPE. The combination model of APT balanced the sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Local staging of prostate cancer (PCa) is important for treatment planning. Radiologist interpretation using qualitative criteria is variable with high specificity but low sensitivity. Quantitative methods may be useful in the diagnosis of extracapsular extension (ECE). PURPOSE To assess the performance of quantitative MRI markers for detecting ECE. STUDY TYPE Systematic review and meta-analysis. SUBJECTS 4800 patients from 28 studies with histopathologically confirmed PCa on radical prostatectomy were pooled for meta-analysis. Patients from 46 studies were included for systematic review. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE Diffusion-weighted, T2-weighted, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI at 1.5 T or 3 T. ASSESSMENT PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched to identify studies on diagnostic test accuracy or association of any quantitative MRI markers with ECE. Results extracted by two independent reviewers for tumor contact length (TCL) and mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC-mean) were pooled for meta-analysis, but not for other quantitative markers including radiomics due to low number of studies available. STATISTICAL TESTS Hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) curves were computed for both TCL and ADC-mean, but summary operating points were computed for TCL only. Heterogeneity was investigated by meta-regression. Results were significant if P ≤ 0.05. RESULTS At the 10 mm threshold for TCL, summary sensitivity and specificity were 0.76 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.71-0.81] and 0.68 [95% CI 0.63-0.73], respectively. At the 15 mm threshold, summary sensitivity and specificity were 0.70 [95% CI 0.53-0.83] and 0.74 [95% CI 0.60-0.84] respectively. The area under the HSROC curves for TCL and ADC-mean were 0.79 and 0.78, respectively. Significant sources of heterogeneity for TCL included timing of MRI relative to biopsy. DATA CONCLUSION Both 10 mm and 15 mm thresholds for TCL may be reasonable for clinical use. From comparison of the HSROC curves, ADC-mean may be superior to TCL at higher sensitivities. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To systematically determine the diagnostic performance of each MRI feature of the PI-RADS for predicting extraprostatic extension (EPE) in prostate cancer. METHODS A literature search in the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases was conducted to identify original studies reporting the accuracy of each feature on MRI for the dichotomous diagnosis of EPE. The meta-analytic pooled diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), sensitivity, specificity, and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained using a bivariate random-effects model. RESULTS After screening 1955 studies, 17 studies with a total of 3062 men were included. All six imaging features, i.e., bulging prostatic contour, irregular or spiculated margin, asymmetry or invasion of neurovascular bundle, obliteration of rectoprostatic angle, tumor-capsule interface > 10 mm, and breach of the capsule with evidence of direct tumor extension, were significantly associated with EPE. Breach of the capsule with direct tumor extension demonstrated the highest pooled DOR (15.6, 95% CI [7.7-31.5]) followed by tumor-capsule interface > 10 mm (10.5 [5.4-20.2]), asymmetry or invasion of neurovascular bundle (7.6 [3.8-15.2]), and obliteration of rectoprostatic angle (6.1 [3.8-9.8]). Irregular or spiculated margin showed the lowest pooled DOR (2.3 [1.3-4.2]). Breach of the capsule with direct tumor extension and tumor-capsule interface > 10 mm showed the highest pooled specificity (98.0% [96.2-99.0]) and sensitivity (86.3% [70.0-94.4]), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Among the six MRI features of prostate cancer, breach of the capsule with direct tumor extension and tumor-capsule interface > 10 mm were the most predictive of EPE with the highest specificity and sensitivity, respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the extraprostatic extension (EPE) grading system for detection of EPE in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a literature search of Web of Science, MEDLINE (Ovid and PubMed), Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Google Scholar to identify eligible articles published before August 31, 2021, with no language restrictions applied. We included studies using the EPE grading system for the prediction of EPE, with histopathological results as the reference standard. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (LR+), negative likelihood ratio (LR-), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were calculated with the bivariate model. Quality assessment of included studies was performed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. RESULTS A total of 4 studies with 1,294 patients were included in the current systematic review. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.82 (95% CI 0.76-0.87) and 0.63 (95% CI 0.51-0.73), with the area under the hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) curve of 0.82 (95% CI 0.79-0.85). The pooled LR+, LR-, and DOR were 2.20 (95% CI 1.70-2.86), 0.28 (95% CI 0.22-0.36), and 7.77 (95% CI 5.27-11.44), respectively. Quality assessment for included studies was high, and Deeks's funnel plot indicated that the possibility of publication bias was low (p = 0.64). CONCLUSION The EPE grading system demonstrated high sensitivity and moderate specificity, with a good inter-reader agreement. However, this scoring system needs more studies to be validated in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the diagnostic performance of using quantitative assessment with multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for prediction of extraprostatic extension (EPE) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS We performed a computerized search of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from inception until July 31, 2021. Summary estimates of sensitivity and specificity were pooled with the bivariate model, and quality assessment of included studies was performed with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2. We plotted forest plots to graphically present the results. Multiple subgroup analyses and meta-regression were performed to explore the variate clinical settings and heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 23 studies with 3,931 participants were included. The pooled sensitivity and specificity for length of capsular contact (LCC) were 0.79 (95% CI 0.75-0.83) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.73-0.80), for apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were 0.71 (95% CI 0.50-0.86) and 0.71 (95% CI 059-0.81), for tumor size were 0.62 (95% CI 0.57-0.67) and 0.75 (95% CI 0.67-0.82), and for tumor volume were 0.77 (95% CI 0.68-0.84) and 0.72 (95% CI 0.56-0.83), respectively. Substantial heterogeneity was presented among included studies, and meta-regression showed that publication year (≤2017 vs. >2017) was the significant factor in studies using LCC as the quantitative assessment (P=0.02). CONCLUSION Four quantitative assessments of LCC, ADC, tumor size, and tumor volume showed moderate to high diagnostic performance of predicting EPE. However, the optimal cutoff threshold varied widely among studies and needs further investigation to establish.

Preoperative MRI-based estimation of risk for positive resection margin after radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer: development and validation of a simple scoring system. Eur Radiol 2021; 31:4898-4907. [PMID: 33386982 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-020-07569-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a simplified MRI-based model to predict the risk for positive surgical margins (PSMs) after radical prostatectomy (RP) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent RP for PCa were retrospectively identified from a tertiary referral hospital. Patients who underwent RP between January 2014 and June 2014 were assigned as derivation cohort (n = 330) and those between January 2018 and February 2018 were assigned as validation cohort (n = 100). MRI-based predictors associated with PSM were assessed: tumor size, tumor-capsule contact length, the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) category, tumor location (tumor contact to the apex or posterolateral side near the neurovascular bundle), apical depth, and prostate volume. A prediction model was developed by using multivariable logistic regression, and then it was transformed into a scoring system. The prediction and calibration performance of this scoring system was evaluated using the C statistics and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. RESULTS A total of 121 (36.7%) and 32 (32.0%) of patients in the derivation and validation cohorts had PSMs after RP. The scoring system consisted of the following variables: tumor-capsule contact length, PI-RADS category, tumor located at the apex and/or posterolateral side. This scoring system provided good prediction performance for PSM in the derivation (C statistics, 0.80 [95% CI: 0.76, 0.85]) and validation (C statistics, 0.77 [95% CI: 0.68, 0.87]) cohorts, and also showed good calibration in both cohorts (p = 0.83 and 0.86, respectively). CONCLUSIONS An MRI-based scoring system can help estimate the risk of PSM after RP. KEY POINTS • An MRI-based scoring system served as a tool to estimate the risk of positive surgical margin (C statistics, 0.80 and 0.77 in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively) after radical prostatectomy. • Tumor with contact to the apex or posterolateral aspect, the tumor contact length to capsule, and higher PI-RADS category were independent predictors for the presence of positive resection margins after radical prostatectomy in men with prostate cancer. • High-risk patients as determined by the scoring system demonstrated adverse post-surgical outcomes compared with low- or intermediate-risk patients, in regard to longer length (mean length, 13.0 mm versus 3.9 mm in low risk or 6.2 mm in intermediate risk; p ≤ 0.001) and higher Gleason grade at the margin (grades 4 and 5 in 69.4% and 20.4% versus 16.7% and 16.7% in low risk or 46.7% and 5.4% in intermediate risk; p < 0.001).
