Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic accuracy and detection rates of PET/MRI with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 and [68Ga]Ga-M2 in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS Sixty patients were enrolled in this prospective single-center phase II clinical trial from June 2020 to October 2022. Forty-four/60 completed all study examinations and were available at follow-up (median: 22.8 months, range: 6-31.5 months). Two nuclear medicine physicians analyzed PET images and two radiologists interpreted MRI; images were then re-examined to produce an integrated PET/MRI report for both [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 and [68Ga]Ga-RM2 examinations. A composite reference standard including histological specimens, response to treatment, and conventional imaging gathered during follow-up was used to validate imaging findings. Detection rates, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive value were assessed. McNemar's test was used to compare sensitivity and specificity on a per-patient base and detection rate on a per-region base. Prostate bed, locoregional lymph nodes, non-skeletal distant metastases, and bone metastases were considered. p-value significance was defined below the 0.05 level after correction for multiple testing. RESULTS Patients' median age was 69.8 years (interquartile range (IQR): 61.8-75.1) and median PSA level at time of imaging was 0.53 ng/mL (IQR: 0.33-2.04). During follow-up, evidence of recurrence was observed in 31/44 patients. Combining MRI with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET and [68Ga]Ga-RM2 PET resulted in sensitivity = 100% and 93.5% and specificity of 69.2% and 69.2%, respectively. When considering the individual imaging modalities, [68Ga]Ga-RM2 PET showed lower sensitivity compared to [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET and MRI (61.3% vs 83.9% and 87.1%, p = 0.046 and 0.043, respectively), while specificity was comparable among the imaging modalities (100% vs 84.6% and 69.2%, p = 0.479 and 0.134, respectively). CONCLUSION This study brings further evidence on the utility of fully hybrid PET/MRI for disease characterization in patients with biochemically recurrent PCa. Imaging with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET showed high sensitivity, while the utility of [68Ga]Ga-RM2 PET in absence of a simultaneous whole-body/multiparametric MRI remains to be determined.

Abstract
Prostate cancer may recur several years after definitive treatment, such as prostatectomy or radiation therapy. A rise in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is the first sign of disease recurrence, and this is termed biochemical recurrence. Patients with biochemical recurrence have worse survival outcomes. Radiologic localization of recurrent disease helps in directing patient management, which may vary from active surveillance to salvage radiation therapy, androgen-deprivation therapy, or other forms of systemic and local therapy. The likelihood of detecting the site of recurrence increases with higher serum PSA level. MRI provides optimal diagnostic performance for evaluation of the prostatectomy bed. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET radiotracers currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration demonstrate physiologic urinary excretion, which can obscure recurrence at the vesicourethral junction. However, MRI and PSMA PET/CT have comparable diagnostic performance for evaluation of local recurrence after external-beam radiation therapy or brachytherapy. PSMA PET/CT outperforms MRI in identifying recurrence involving the lymph nodes and bones. Caveats for use of both PSMA PET/CT and MRI do exist and may cause false-positive or false-negative results. Hence, these techniques have complementary roles and should be interpreted in conjunction with each other, taking the patient history and results of any additional prior imaging studies into account. Novel PSMA agents at various stages of investigation are being developed, and preliminary data show promising results; these agents may revolutionize the landscape of prostate cancer recurrence imaging in the future. ©RSNA, 2023 Quiz questions for this article are available through the Online Learning Center.

Abstract
We investigated a novel dedicated Prostate Imaging for Local Recurrence Reporting and Data System (PI-RRADS) in biochemical recurrence after radiotherapy (RT) and rad- ical prostatectomy (RP) evaluating biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) exams, at 3T MRI of 55 patients. Associating bpMRI and biochemical recurrence data, we calculated bpMRI diagnostic accuracy. Four probability categories, from 1 (very low) to 4 (very high), were distinguished. In 20 patients with radiotherapy, 25% and 75% of lesions were reported as PI-RRADS 3, and 4, respectively. In 35 patients with radi- cal prostatectomy, 7.7% of lesions were included in PI-RRADS 1-2, whereas 40.4% and 51.9% in PI-RRADS 3 and 4 categories, respectively. Excellent agreement and significant correlation between bpMRI and biochemical recurrence were found. BpMRI showed sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, false-posi- tive value, false-negative value, and total diagnostic accuracy of 96.15%, 86.7%, 97.4 %, 81.25%, 13.3%, 3.8% and 94.6%, respectively. BpMRI-based PI-RRADS allows the detection and localization local recurrence in biochemical recurrence after RT and RP contributing in clinical management and treatment.

Abstract
Tissue changes and the enlargement of the prostate, whether benign or malignant, are among the most common groups of diseases that affect men and can have significant impacts on length and quality of life. The prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) increases significantly with age and affects nearly all men as they grow older. Other than skin cancers, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. Imaging is an essential component in the diagnosis and management of these conditions. Multiple modalities are available for prostate imaging, including several novel imaging modalities that have changed the landscape of prostate imaging in recent years. This review will cover the data relating to commonly used standard-of-care prostate imaging modalities, advances in newer technologies, and newer standards that impact prostate gland imaging.

Abstract
Background Prostate cancer local recurrence location and extent must be determined in an accurate and timely manner. Because of the lack of a standardized MRI approach after whole-gland treatment, a panel of international experts recently proposed the Prostate Imaging for Recurrence Reporting (PI-RR) assessment score. Purpose To determine the diagnostic accuracy of PI-RR for detecting local recurrence in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radiation therapy (RT) or radical prostatectomy (RP) and to evaluate the interreader variability of PI-RR scoring. Materials and Methods This retrospective observational study included patients who underwent multiparametric MRI between September 2016 and May 2021 for BCR after RT or RP. MRI scans were analyzed, and a PI-RR score was assigned independently by four radiologists. The reference standard was defined using histopathologic findings, follow-up imaging, or clinical response to treatment. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy were calculated to assess PI-RR performance for each reader. The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to determine interreader agreement. Results A total of 100 men were included: 48 patients after RT (median age, 76 years [IQR, 70-82 years]) and 52 patients after RP (median age, 70 years [IQR, 66-74 years]). After RT, with PI-RR of 3 or greater as a cutoff (assigned when recurrence is uncertain), diagnostic performance ranges were 71%-81% sensitivity, 74%-93% specificity, 71%-89% PPV, 79%-86% NPV, and 77%-88% accuracy across the four readers. After RP, with PI-RR of 3 or greater as a cutoff, performance ranges were 59%-83% sensitivity, 87%-100% specificity, 88%-100% PPV, 66%-80% NPV, and 75%-85% accuracy. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.87 across the four readers for both the RT and RP groups. Conclusion MRI scoring with the Prostate Imaging for Recurrence Reporting assessment provides structured, reproducible, and accurate evaluation of local recurrence after definitive therapy for prostate cancer. © RSNA, 2022 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Prostate Int 2022; 10:135-141. [PMID: 36225284 PMCID: PMC9520418 DOI: 10.1016/j.prnil.2022.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To validate the diagnostic yield of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for local biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy in patients with biochemical recurrence using large consecutive patient data. Materials and methods Of 4632 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate adenocarcinoma, 748 patients with prostate-specific antigen > 0.2 ng/mL and second confirmatory level were retrospectively identified. Among them, 468 patients who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging were analyzed. The primary outcome measure was the diagnostic yield of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for local recurrence, and the secondary measure was its accuracy, using the response to salvage radiotherapy as reference. Results Only 33 patients (7.1%) showed positive imaging findings. The positive and negative predictive values were 84.8% (28/33) and 37.5% (45/120), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 27.2% (28/103) and 90% (45/50), respectively. The overall accuracy was 47.7% (73/153). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, prostate-specific antigen level at recurrence was found to be the only factor significantly higher in the positive image findings group. Conclusions The universal use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging resulted in a low-diagnostic yield for local recurrence in patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. The results suggest that selective use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging should be considered in patients with a higher prostate-specific antigen threshold.

Targeting Local Recurrence After Surgery With MRI Imaging for Prostate Cancer in the Setting of Salvage Radiation Therapy. Front Oncol 2022; 12:775387. [PMID: 35242702 PMCID: PMC8887697 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.775387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is being increasingly used for imaging suspected recurrence in prostate cancer therapy. Functional MRI with diffusion and perfusion imaging has the potential to demonstrate local recurrence even at low PSA value. Detection of recurrence can modify the management of postprostatectomy biochemical recurrence. MRI scan acquired before salvage radiotherapy is useful for the localization of recurrent tumors and also in the delineation of the target volume. The objective of this review is to assess the role and potential impact of MRI in targeting local recurrence after surgery for prostate cancer in the setting of salvage radiation therapy.

Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Local Recurrence Reporting (PI-RR): International Consensus -based Guidelines on Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Prostate Cancer Recurrence after Radiation Therapy and Radical Prostatectomy. Eur Urol Oncol 2021; 4:868-876. [PMID: 33582104 DOI: 10.1016/j.euo.2021.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Revised: 01/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Imaging techniques are used to identify local recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) for salvage therapy and to exclude metastases that should be addressed with systemic therapy. For magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a reduction in the variability of acquisition, interpretation, and reporting is required to detect local PCa recurrence in men with biochemical relapse after local treatment with curative intent. OBJECTIVE To propose a standardised method for image acquisition and assessment of PCa local recurrence using MRI after radiation therapy (RP) and radical prostatectomy (RT). EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Prostate Imaging for Recurrence Reporting (PI-RR) was formulated using the existing literature. An international panel of experts conducted a nonsystematic review of the literature. The PI-RR system was created via consensus through a combination of face-to-face and online discussions. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Similar to with PI-RADS, based on the best available evidence and expert opinion, the minimum acceptable MRI parameters for detection of recurrence after radiation therapy and radical prostatectomy are set. Also, a simplified and standardised terminology and content of the reports that use five assessment categories to summarise the suspicion of local recurrence (PI-RR) are designed. PI-RR scores of 1 and 2 are assigned to lesions with a very low and low likelihood of recurrence, respectively. PI-RR 3 is assigned if the presence of recurrence is uncertain. PI-RR 4 and 5 are assigned for a high and very high likelihood of recurrence, respectively. PI-RR is intended to be used in routine clinical practice and to facilitate data collection and outcome monitoring for research. CONCLUSIONS This paper provides a structured reporting system (PI-RR) for MRI evaluation of local recurrence of PCa after RT and RP. PATIENT SUMMARY A new method called PI-RR was developed to promote standardisation and reduce variations in the acquisition, interpretation, and reporting of magnetic resonance imaging for evaluating local recurrence of prostate cancer and guiding therapy.
