Clinical and economic impact of the introduction of pre-biopsy MRI-based assessment on a large prostate cancer centre diagnostic population and activity: 10 years on. World J Urol 2024; 42:82. [PMID: 38358545 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-024-04772-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prostate mpMRI was introduced in 2011 as a secondary test and subsequently integrated into a prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics unit representing a population of approximately 550,000 people. The following represents an audit of its step-wise introduction between 2 index years, 2009 and 2018, focusing on the activity, patient outcomes and economic benefits. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The 2 distinct years were selected for relying on a transrectal ultrasound biopsy pathway in 2009 to an mpMRI-based pathway in 2018. All referrals were retrospectively screened and compared for age, PSA levels, DRE findings, biopsy history, biopsy and mpMRI allocation data. Cost analysis was determined using local unit procedure costs. RESULTS Patients referred included 648 in 2009 and 714 in 2018. mpMRI seldomly informed decision to biopsy in 2009 (9.8%), while in 2018 it was performed in the pre-biopsy setting in 87.9% cases and enabled biopsy avoidance in 137 patients. In 2018, there was a 31.8% decrease in the number of biopsies in patients without previous PCa diagnosis, coupled with an increase in diagnostic rates of csPCa, from 28.6 to 49.0% (p < 0.0001) and a reduction in negative biopsy rates from 52.3 to 33.8%. mpMRI had a positive impact on the system with reduced patient morbidity and post-procedural complications. The estimated overall cost savings amount to approximately £75,000/year for PCa diagnosis and £11,000/year due to reduced complications. CONCLUSION Our evaluation shows the mpMRI-based pathway has improved early detection of csPCa and reduction of repeat biopsies, resulting in significant financial benefits for the local healthcare system.

Patient Reported Outcomes of Transperineal Prostate Biopsy With Tumescent Local Anesthesia. Urology 2023; 182:33-39. [PMID: 37742847 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2023.09.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the outcomes of performing transperineal prostate biopsy in the office setting using the novel anesthetic technique of tumescent local anesthesia. We report anxiety, pain, and embarrassment of patients who underwent this procedure compared to patients who underwent a transrectal prostate biopsy using standard local anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing either a transperineal prostate biopsy under tumescent local anesthesia or a transrectal prostate biopsy with standard local anesthetic technique were prospectively enrolled. The tumescent technique employed dilute lidocaine solution administered using a self-filling syringe. Patients were asked to rate their pain before, during, and after their procedure using a visual analog scale. Patient anxiety and embarrassment was assessed using the Testing Modalities Index Questionnaire. RESULTS Between April 2021 and June 2022, 430 patients underwent a transperineal prostate biopsy using tumescent local anesthesia and 65 patients underwent a standard transrectal prostate biopsy. Patients who underwent a transperineal biopsy had acceptable but significantly higher pain scores than those who underwent a transrectal prostate biopsy (3.9 vs 1.6, P-value <.01). These scores fell to almost zero immediately following their procedure. Additionally, transperineal biopsy patients were more likely to experience anxiety (71% vs 45%, P < .01) and embarrassment (32% vs 15%, P < .01). CONCLUSION Transperineal biopsy using local tumescent anesthesia is safe and well-tolerated. Despite the benefits, patients undergoing a transperineal prostate biopsy under tumescent anesthesia still experienced worse procedural pain, anxiety, and embarrassment. Additional studies examining other adjunctive interventions to improve patient experience during transperineal prostate biopsy are needed.

Abstract
Prostate biopsy is the gold standard to confirm prostate cancer. In addition to standard 12-core biopsies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided prostate biopsies have recently been introduced to improve the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer. The present study aimed to compare the complications after standard transrectal ultrasound-guided and standard plus targeted (MRI-guided) prostate biopsies, to study the impact of the number of biopsy cores on complication rates, and to compare complication rates after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies with those following transperineal prostate biopsies from the literature. A prospective study was performed, which included 135 patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies between April 1 and June 30, 2022, at the Urology Department of the University Hospital of Pointe à Pitre (Pointe à Pitre, Guadeloupe). A total of 51 patients were excluded because of missing information concerning their post-biopsy surveillance. The median age at the time of biopsy was 69 years, median prostate-specific antigen value was 8.9 ng/ml, median prostate volume was 57.5 ml, and median number of cores was 15. A total of 35 of the 84 included patients (41.7%) had a standard biopsy only and 49 (58.3%) had targeted (MRI-guided) plus standard biopsies. A total of 53 patients (63.1%) experienced early side effects, whereas only 24 patients (28.6%) experienced late side effects. Three patients (3.6%) required hospitalization for post-biopsy complications. Early side effects, especially hematuria and hematospermia, occurred significantly more frequently in the targeted plus standard group, with more cores taken, with no significant difference concerning late side effects or infectious complications between the standard and standard plus targeted groups. The admission rate for sepsis after transperineal biopsy has been reported to vary between 0 and 1%, whereas the present study had an admission rate of 2.29% using the transrectal approach. Further studies are required to analyze the complications requiring hospitalization after transrectal and transperineal biopsies.

Role of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Transperineal Prostate Biopsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. EUR UROL SUPPL 2022; 37:53-63.

Abstract
CONTEXT Transperineal prostate biopsy is associated with a significantly lower risk of infectious complications than the transrectal approach. In fact, the risk of infectious complications with transperineal prostate biopsy is so low that the utility of administering periprocedural antibiotics with this procedure has come under question. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess for differences in the rates of infectious complications (septic, nonseptic, and overall) after performing transperineal prostate biopsy with and without the administration of periprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE) were searched, and studies were included if they included patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy, were published after January 2000, included information on periprocedural antibiotic administration, and reported postbiopsy complications. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality guidelines were utilized. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 106 unique studies describing 112 cohorts of patients were identified, of which 98 (37 805 men) received antibiotic prophylaxis and 14 (4772 men) did not receive it. All patients were included in the analysis of septic complications. In total, there were 19/37 805 (0.05%) episodes of sepsis in the group of men who received antibiotics, which was similar to the no antibiotic group with 4/4772 (0.08%) episodes (p = 0.2). For overall infections (septic plus nonseptic), there were 403/29 880 (1.35%) versus 58/4772 (1.22%) events among men with evaluable data who received and did not receive antibiotic prophylaxis, respectively (p = 0.8). Restricting our analysis to studies with a comparable low number of biopsy cores (<25 cores), there remained no difference in the rates of sepsis between groups, but there was a small, statistically significant lower risk of infectious complications with antibiotic administration-67/12 140 (0.55%) versus 58/4772 (1.22%; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The likelihood of septic infections after transperineal prostate biopsy is low with and without antibiotic prophylaxis. The omission of periprocedural antibiotics with this procedure stands to benefit patients by avoiding potential drug reactions. Furthermore, this practice is in line with calls throughout the medical community for improved antibiotic stewardship. PATIENT SUMMARY In a large systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated infectious complications after transperineal prostate biopsy with or without the administration of prophylactic antibiotics. We conclude that prophylactic antibiotics do not decrease the rate of postbiopsy sepsis but may have a small benefit in terms of preventing less serious infections.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostic and therapeutic work-up has evolved significantly in the last decade, with pre-biopsy multiparametric MRI now widely endorsed within international guidelines. There is potential to move away from the widespread use of systematic biopsy cores and towards an individualised risk-stratified approach. However, the evidence on the optimal biopsy approach remains heterogeneous, and the aim of this review is to highlight the most relevant features following a critical assessment of the literature. The commonest biopsy approaches are via the transperineal (TP) or transrectal (TR) routes. The former is considered more advantageous due to its negligible risk of post-procedural sepsis and reduced need for antimicrobial prophylaxis; the more recent development of local anaesthetic (LA) methods now makes this approach feasible in the clinic. Beyond this, several techniques are available, including cognitive registration, MRI-Ultrasound fusion imaging and direct MRI in-bore guided biopsy. Evidence shows that performing targeted biopsies reduces the number of cores required and can achieve acceptable rates of detection whilst helping to minimise complications and reducing pathologist workloads and costs to health-care facilities. Pre-biopsy MRI has revolutionised the diagnostic pathway for PCa, and optimising the biopsy process is now a focus. Combining MR imaging, TP biopsy and a more widespread use of LA in an outpatient setting seems a reasonable solution to balance health-care costs and benefits, however, local choices are likely to depend on the expertise and experience of clinicians and on the technology available.

Comprehensive analysis of complications after transperineal prostate biopsy without antibiotic prophylaxis: results of a multicenter trial with 30 days' follow-up. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2022; 25:264-268.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate infectious and non-infectious complications after transperineal prostate biopsy (TPB) without antibiotic prophylaxis in a multicenter cohort. Secondly, to identify whether increasing the number of cores was predictive for the occurrence of complications. Thirdly, to examine the relation between TPB and erectile dysfunction. METHODS We analyzed a retrospective multicenter cohort of 550 patients from three different urological centers undergoing TPB without antibiotic prophylaxis. The median number of cores was 26. Demographic and clinical data were extracted by reviewing patients' electronic medical records and follow-up data such as postoperative complications obtained by structured phone interviews. To investigate the influence of the number of cores taken on the occurrence of complications, we performed univariate and multivariate mixed effects logistic regression models. RESULTS There was no case of sepsis reported. Overall, 6.0% of patients (33/550) presented with any complication besides mild macrohematuria. In all, 46/47 (98%) complications were ≤Grade 2 according to Clavien-Dindo. In multivariate regression analyses, an increased number of cores was associated with overall complications (odds ratio (OR) 1.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.14, P = 0.01) and specifically bleeding complications (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.11-1.50, P = 0.01) but not with infectious complications (OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.97-1.10, P = 0.67). A total of 14.4% of patients referred impairment of erectile function after TPB. Of note, 98% of these men were diagnosed with prostate cancer. CONCLUSIONS This is the first multicenter trial to investigate complications after TPB without antibiotic prophylaxis. In our study, we found no case of sepsis. This underlines the safety advantage of TPB even without antibiotic prophylaxis and supports the ongoing initiative to abandon TRB of the prostate. A higher number of cores were associated with an increase in overall complications specifically bleeding complications, but not with infectious complications. Post-biopsy erectile dysfunction was mainly present in patients diagnosed with PCa.

Abstract
Prostate biopsy is the definitive investigation to diagnose prostate cancer. The ideal procedure would be one that offers fast and efficient results safely as an outpatient procedure. Historically, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy is considered the gold standard but transrectal biopsy can under-sample the anterior and apical regions of the prostate and is associated with a risk of prostate biopsy-related sepsis, which may require intensive care admission. Transperineal (TP) biopsy addresses the inefficient sampling of TRUS biopsy but historically has been done under general anaesthetic, which makes it difficult to incorporate into timed diagnostic pathways such as the National Health Service (NHS) 2-week cancer pathway. TRUS biopsy has remained the mainstay of clinical diagnosis because of its simplicity; however, the recent development of simpler local anaesthetic transperineal techniques has transformed outpatient biopsy practice. These techniques practically eliminate prostate biopsy-related sepsis, have a shallow learning curve and offer effective sampling of all areas of the prostate in an outpatient setting. The effectiveness of TP biopsy has been enhanced by the introduction of multiparametric MRI prior to biopsy, the use of PSA density for risk stratification in equivocal cases and combined with more efficient targeted and systematic biopsies techniques, such as the Ginsburg Protocol, has improved the tolerability and diagnostic yield of local anaesthetic TP biopsies, reducing the risk of complications from the oversampling associated with transperineal template mapping biopsies. Areas where the literature remains unclear is the optimum number of cores needed to detect clinically significant disease (CSD) in patients with a definable lesion on MRI, in particular, whether there is a need for systematic biopsy in the face of equivocal MRI findings to ensure no CSD is missed. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on prostate cancer referrals and prostate biopsy techniques within the UK; prior to the pandemic 65% of all prostate biopsies were TRUS, since the pandemic the proportions have reversed such that now over 65% of all prostate biopsies in the NHS are transperineal.

Abstract
Objectives To compare data on transperineal template biopsy (TPTB) under general anesthesia (GA) compared with local anesthesia (LA) procedures using the PrecisionPoint™ Transperineal Access System (PPTAS) in relation to tolerability, cancer detection rate, complications, and cost. Methods A prospective pilot cohort study of patients undergoing transperineal biopsy was performed. Patients were excluded if they had concurrent flexible cystoscopy or language barriers. Patients had a choice of GA or LA. A prospective questionnaire on Days 0, 1, 7, and 30 was applied. The primary outcome was patient tolerability. Secondary outcomes were cancer detection rate, complication rate, and theater utilization. Results This study included 80 patients (40 GA TPTB and 40 LA PPTAS). Baseline characteristics including age, prostate‐specific antigen (PSA), digital rectal examination (DRE), findings, and prostate volume were comparable between the groups (p = 0.3790, p = 0.9832, p = 0.444, p = 0.3939, respectively). Higher median prostate imaging‐reporting and data system (PI‐RADS) score of 4 (interquartile range [IQR] 2) versus 3 (IQR 1) was noted in the LA group (p = 0.0326). Pain was higher leaving recovery in the GA group however not significantly (p = 0.0555). Median pain score at LA infiltration was 5/10 (IQR 3), with no difference in pain at Days 1, 7, or 30 (p = 0.2722, 0.6465, and 0.8184, respectively). For GA versus LA, the overall cancer detection rate was 55% versus 55% (p = 1.000) with clinically significant cancer in 22.5% versus 35% (p = 0.217). Acute urinary retention (AUR) occurred in 5% of GA and 2.5% of LA patients (p = 1.000). The GA cohort spent longer in theater and in recovery with a median of 93.5 min versus 57 min for the LA group (p = <0.0001). Conclusion This study demonstrates that transperineal biopsy is safely performed under LA with no difference between the cohorts in relation cancer detection or AUR. LA biopsy also consumed less theater and recovery resources. A further larger prospective randomized controlled trial is required to confirm the findings of this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rrisk of infection and hospitalization after transrectal prostate biopsy (TRBx) has been increasing worldwide. Several modified antibiotic regimens have met with variable success in preventing such infections. Transperineal prostate biopsy (TPBx) is increasingly recommended as the preferred alternative due to a potentially lower risk of post-biopsy infections. Aim of this review is to define the magnitude of post-biopsy complications and the effectiveness of preventive strategies, including TPBx approach. METHODS We performed a focused review of literature on infectious complications after TRBx and detailed the use of various preventive measures. We summarized the effectiveness of several preventive measures, including TPBx, and outlined the inconsistencies in reported outcomes. We identified potential barriers to the uptake of TPBx, including the gap in knowledge such as lack of high-quality evidence. RESULTS Several antibiotic prophylaxis protocols, including targeted and augmented, have been utilized for TRBx without demonstrating a clearly superior regimen. Of the non-antibiotic preventive measure, povidone-iodine rectal prep appears to be most effective strategy. Several single-arm cohort studies have reported very low rates of infections after TPBx and demonstrated the feasibility of an office-based procedure. However, barriers to the adoption of TPBx exist including retrospective data, and conflicting results showing minimal reduction in complications with increased burden of resource utilization. Presently, there are no randomized studies comparing the infectious complications after TRBx and TPBx. We discuss the rationale and protocol for a randomized controlled trial to determine the comparative effectiveness of biopsy techniques. CONCLUSIONS TPBx approach has the potential to lower the rate of post-biopsy infections and hospitalizations. However, there are several barriers to widespread adoption of this approach including inconsistencies in reported outcomes and lack of Level-1 evidence. Randomized controlled studies are required to directly compare the infectious complications associated with each biopsy procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility of local anaesthetic transperineal (LATP) technique using a single-freehand transperineal (TP) access device, and report initial prostate cancer (PCa) detection, infection rates, and tolerability. PATIENTS AND METHODS Observational study of a multicentre prospective cohort, including all consecutive cases. LATP was performed in three settings: (i) first biopsy in suspected PCa, (ii) confirmatory biopsies for active surveillance, and (iii) repeat biopsy in suspected PCa. All patients received pre-procedure antibiotics according to local hospital guidelines. Local anaesthesia was achieved by perineal skin infiltration and periprostatic nerve block without sedation. Ginsburg protocol principles were followed for systematic biopsies including cognitive magnetic resonance imaging-targeted biopsies when needed using the PrecisionPoint™ TP access device. Procedure-related complications and oncological outcomes were prospectively and consecutively collected. A validated questionnaire was used in a subset of centres to collect data on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). RESULTS Some 1218 patients underwent LATP biopsies at 10 centres: 55%, 24%, and 21% for each of the three settings, respectively. Any grade PCa was diagnosed in 816 patients (67%), of which 634 (52% of total) had clinically significant disease. Two cases of sepsis were documented (0.16%) and urinary retention was observed in 19 patients (1.6%). PROMs were distributed to 419 patients, with a 56% response rate (n = 234). In these men, pain during the biopsy was described as either 'not at all' or 'a little' painful by 64% of patients. Haematuria was the most common reported symptom (77%). When exploring attitude to re-biopsy, 48% said it would be 'not a problem' and in contrast 8.1% would consider it a 'major problem'. Most of the patients (81%) described the biopsy as a 'minor or moderate procedure tolerable under local anaesthesia', while 5.6% perceived it as a 'major procedure that requires general anaesthesia'. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that LATP biopsy using a TP access system mounted to the ultrasound probe achieves excellent PCa detection, with a very low sepsis rate, and is safe and well tolerated. We believe a randomised controlled trial comparing LATP with transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUS) to investigate the relative trade-offs between each biopsy technique would be helpful.

EXIT from TRansrectal prostate biopsies (TREXIT): sepsis rates of transrectal biopsy with rectal swab culture guided antimicrobials versus freehand transperineal biopsy. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2021; 25:283-287. [PMID: 34413481 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-021-00438-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 08/03/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transrectal prostate biopsy (TRUSBx) holds a risk of prostate biopsy related sepsis. We discuss our step-wise strategies aiming to reduce this risk, including targeted antimicrobials and switching to a freehand transperineal approach (FHTPBx). SUBJECTS AND METHODS This longitudinal cohort study included three groups. Group A underwent TRUSBx with empirical augmented antimicrobial prophylaxis; Group B underwent TRUSBx with targeted antimicrobial prophylaxis, based on rectal-swab cultures/sensitivity; Group C underwent FHTPBx with empirical antimicrobial prophylaxis. Post biopsy sepsis, defined according to the surviving sepsis campaign and confirmed with blood or urinary cultures, were determined and rates between groups were analysed using fisher's exact test. RESULTS Of all 1501 patients, 23 developed post biopsy sepsis; Group A (12/609, 2.0%), B (9/403, 2.2%), C (2/489, 0.4%). Targeted antimicrobials did not reduce the risk of post biopsy sepsis following TRUSBx (A vs B, 2.0% vs 2.2%; p = 0.82). Patients with antimicrobial-resistant rectal flora had an increased post biopsy sepsis rate following TRUSBx despite targeted antimicrobials (9.1% vs 1.1%, p = 0.003). Switching to FHTPBx reduced the risk of developing post biopsy sepsis (A vs C, 2% vs 0.4%, p = 0.03; B vs C, 2.2% vs 0.4%, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Targeted antimicrobials based on rectal swab culture failed to reduce the overall risk of post biopsy sepsis, while FHTPBx nearly eliminated this risk. We recommend the use of transperineal prostate biopsies for all patients as the most effective method to reduce the risk of sepsis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To externally validate and compare the performance of the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer risk calculator 3/4 (ERSPC-RC3/4), the Prostate Biopsy Collaborative Group risk calculator (PBCG-RC) and the van Leeuwen model to determine which prediction model would perform the best in a contemporary Australian cohort undergoing transperineal (TP) biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review identified all patients undergoing TP biopsy across two centres. Of the 797 patients identified, 373 had the data required to test all three risk calculators. The probability of high-grade prostate cancer, defined as International Society of Urological Pathology Grade Group >1, was calculated for each patient. For each prediction model discrimination was assessed using area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration using numerical and graphical summaries, and net benefit using decision curve analysis. RESULTS Assessment of model discrimination for detecting high-grade prostate cancer showed AUCs of 0.79 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.74-0.84) for the ERSPC-RC3/4, 0.81 (95% CI 0.77-0.86) for the van Leeuwen model, and 0.68 (95% CI 0.63-0.74) for the PBCG-RC, compared to 0.58 (95% CI 0.52-0.65) for prostate-specific antigen alone. The ERSPC-RC3/4 was the best calibrated in the moderate-risk range of 10-40%, whilst the van Leeuwen model was the best calibrated in the low-risk range of 0-10%. The van Leeuwen model demonstrated the greatest net benefit from 10% risk onwards, followed closely by the ERSPC-RC3/4 and then the PBCG-RC. CONCLUSION The ERPSC-RC3/4 demonstrated good performance and was comparable to the van Leeuwen model with regard to discrimination, calibration and net benefit for an Australian population undergoing TP prostate biopsy. It is one of the most accessible risk calculators with an easy-to-use online platform, therefore, we recommend that Australian urologists use the ERSPC-RC3/4 to predict risk in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Objective: To report on the outcomes of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/ultrasonography (US)-fusion transperineal prostate (TP) biopsy at a tertiary medical centre in the Middle East including detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), complications, and tolerability of the procedure. Patients and methods: Between May 2019 and June 2020, 98 MRI/US-fusion TP biopsies were performed in the US suite using light sedation. All patients had pre-biopsy 3-T multiparametric MRI. Data on patient characteristics, PCa detection rate and complication rates were collected retrospectively. A Gleason score ≥3 + 4 was defined as csPCa. RESULTS There were 98 patients, with a mean (SD) age of 65 (9.1) years, and a median (SD) prostate-specific antigen level prior to biopsy of 7.53 (12.97) ng/mL and prostate volume of 51 (31.1) mL. PCa was detected in 54 (55%) patients, with csPCa detected in 43 (44%). A total of 124 Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 3-5 lesions were targeted. Grade Group ≥2 PCa was found in 35.5% of the targeted lesions. Random biopsies detected one csPCa Gleason score 3 + 4 in one patient with a negative target. None of the patients had post-biopsy haematuria or retention. Only one patient developed acute prostatitis requiring in-patient intravenous antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS MRI/US-fusion TP biopsy has an adequate detection rate of csPCa with minimal complications and low infection rates after biopsy. This is one of the first TP biopsy series in the Middle East paving the way for wider adoption in the region. ABBREVIATIONS AS: active surveillance; AUR: acute urinary retention; GG: Grade Group; IQR: interquartile range; mpMRI: multiparametric MRI; (cs)PCa: (clinically significant) prostate cancer; PI-RADS: Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System; TP: transperineal; US: ultrasonography; TRUS: transrectal Ultrasound guided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-biopsy urosepsis is a major concern for patient morbidity and cost. Trasperineal biopsy is reported to have less complications and higher detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). OBJECTIVES To determine the diagnostic efficacy and safety of transperineal prostate biopsy in patients with elevated prostatic specific antigen (PSA). MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study included men with elevated PSA > 3 ng/ml and previous negative biopsy from January 2018 to April 2019. All patients had multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and suspicious lesions reported as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) score version 2. Average twelve systematic and two targeted cores were biopsied under general anaesthesia. Patients received single dose of antibiotic prebiopsy. RESULTS 100 Consecutive patients having median age 64.0 years and median PSA of 6.1ng/ml were included for mpMRI-US fusion transperineal biopsies. Cancer detection rate was 45% (targeted 38% and systematic 22%) and csPCa were detected in 75.55% (targeted 86.84% and systematic 59.09%). MRI-US fusion targeted biopsies detected 63.88% csPCa in PIRADS 5, 33.33% in PIRADS 4 and 5.88% in PIRADS 3 lesions. PSA > 10 (p = 0.012), PSA density > 0.15 (p = 0.0002), and PIRADS 5 (0.0001) were significantly associated with PCa. Factors like Age (0.0001), initial PSA (0.022) and PSA density (0.006) were significant on univariate analysis while age (0.0001) was significant on multivariate analysis. There was no case of urinary tract infection. CONCLUSIONS Transperineal prostate biopsy is safe and effective in diagnosing csPCa. There is no risk of sepsis and major complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe our recent experience with in-office transperineal prostate biopsy, including the adoption of software-assisted MRI/US fusion technology. Technological improvements have recently allowed transperineal biopsy to be effectively integrated into outpatient practices with negligible risk of infection. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a cohort of men undergoing transperineal prostate biopsy from 2018-2020, at a single institution. We compared this to another cohort of men undergoing transrectal fusion biopsy from 2014-2018, matched to the first cohort based on age, PSA, and presence of prostate cancer diagnosis prior to biopsy. All patients underwent systematic transperineal templated biopsies in addition to fusion biopsies of MRI-visible lesions. Baseline characteristics, MRI findings, biopsy results, and complications were analyzed and compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS One-hundred and thirty men underwent transperineal prostate biopsy, and 130 men underwent transrectal fusion biopsy. Of those who underwent transperineal biopsy, 30% underwent fusion biopsy while all men with the transrectal biopsy underwent fusion biopsy. Men who underwent transperineal vs transrectal biopsy demonstrated lower infection rates (0% vs 0.8%, P = .31) with fewer prophylactic antibiotics prescribed at provider's discretion (48% vs 100%), yet higher total post-biopsy complication rates (6.1% vs 0.8%, P = .036). CONCLUSION Our initial experiences with transperineal prostate biopsy confirm prior findings demonstrating feasibility in outpatient urologic practice without infectious complication. Software-assisted MRI/US fusion technology can be successfully integrated with transperineal biopsies to target suspicious lesions. Higher rates of non-infectious complications were observed compared with transrectal biopsy. Further analysis is needed to determine whether risk profiles improve over the learning curve of this newly implemented approach.

Abstract
STUDY AIMS To investigate safety and side effects of transperineal prostate biopsy without antibiotic prophylaxis. Secondary aim was to identify whether the number of cores influenced the occurrence of complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort of 184 patients undergoing perineal prostate biopsy without antibiotic prophylaxis from 2015 to 2017 was analyzed retrospectively. On average, 41 cores were taken via two perineal skin punctures. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from patients´ electronic medical records. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify predictors for complications with the following covariates: age, prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score, history of prostatitis, therapeutic anticoagulation, risk factors for urinary tract infection, surgery duration, and the number of biopsy cores. Furthermore, we calculated chi-squared tests with post hoc analyses for differences in the occurrence of complications between quartiles of the above-mentioned parameters. RESULTS The overall complication rate was 10.8% (20/185). Out of 20, 19 (95 %) complications were ≤ grade 2 according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. There were two cases of afebrile urinary tract infection, and no patient developed fever or sepsis. Acute urinary retention was reported in 10 patients (5.4 %). The total number of cores was not associated to infectious complications or acute urinary retention rates. CONCLUSIONS Transperineal prostate biopsy without antibiotic prophylaxis is a safe procedure. Neither postoperative fever nor sepsis occurred. An increased number of cores through two skin punctures was not associated with more complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of transperineal template biopsy for prostate cancer diagnosis is well established. Pre-biopsy multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used in most centers for planning of prostate biopsies and staging. Cognitive and software fusion techniques are increasingly getting popular. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent transperineal template biopsies from January 2016 till December 2018. This included patients on active surveillance, previous negative transrectal ultrasonography biopsies with persistently raised prostate-specific antigen/abnormal prostate on digital rectal examination and de-novo template biopsies. Two specialist uro-radiologists reported all the scans and the biopsies were performed by one experienced urologist. The cognitive biopsies were performed for PIRADS 3-5 lesions on MRI. Total of 330 patients underwent transperineal template biopsies and cognitive target biopsies were carried out in 75 patients who were included in the study. We evaluated the results as positive/negative cognitive biopsies and also according to the PIRAD scoring. Only the patients with prostate cancer on template biopsy histology were included. RESULTS Fifty-seven (76%) of the cognitive biopsies were positive out of total 75.[Table: see text]. CONCLUSIONS Combined cognitive and systematic biopsies have excellent diagnostic rate especially for PIRAD 4-5 MRI areas.

Sectoral cancer detection and tolerability of freehand transperineal prostate biopsy under local anaesthesia. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2020; 24:431-438. [PMID: 32999465 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-020-00293-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Revised: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the feasibility of a freehand transperineal (TP) systematic prostate biopsy protocol under local anaesthesia (LA) and the value of different sectors in diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS A total of 611 consecutive freehand TP biopsies under LA in 2 hospitals were prospectively evaluated. Cancer detection rate in each of the four different sectors (anterior, mid, posterior, basal) was recorded to evaluate the value of each sector. Procedure tolerability was assessed by pain score and complications were documented. RESULTS Systematic biopsies were performed in 556 out of 611 men with a median of 20 (IQR 12-24) biopsy cores taken. The median PSA was 9.9 (Inter-quartile range[IQR] 6.4-16.2) ng/mL, and 89.0% were first biopsies. All PCa and ISUP grade group (GG) ≥ 2 PCa (HGPCa) were diagnosed in 41.4% (230/556) and 28.2% (157/556) biopsies respectively. 77.0% HGPCa was diagnosed in ≥2 sectors. Single-sector HGPCa was predominantly found in anterior or posterior sector. Omitting base sector would have missed 1.5% (1/65) HGPCa out of the 219 cases with ≥24-core biopsies performed. Further omission of mid sector would have missed 3.1% (2/65) HGPCa and 7.4% (7/94) ISUP GG1 PCa (in which 3/7 involved 2 sectors). LA TP biopsy was well tolerated and the mean pain scores of the different steps of the procedure were between 1.9-3.1 (out of 10). Post-biopsy fever occurred in 0.3% of patients (2/611) and no sepsis was reported. The risk of urinary retention in men with ≥20 cores in ≥60 ml prostate was 7.8% (14/179), compared with 1.7% (7/423) in other groups (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS TP sectoral prostate biopsy under LA was well tolerated with minimal sepsis risk. Basal sector biopsies had minimal additional value to HGPCa detection and its omission can be considered.

[PMID: 32956688 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2020.07.072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Revised: 07/05/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare transperineal (TP-TBx) and transrectal (TR-TBx) targeted prostate biopsy in a prospective non randomized single surgeon series of MR/US fusion-guided targeted biopsy performed using an electromagnetic tracking platform (NCT04026763). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this single-institution prospective study, 168 patients who underwent transperineal systematic 12-core biopsy and TP-TBx with electromagnetic tracking (UroNav, Invivo, Gainesville, FL) were compared to 211 patients who underwent a similar procedure by a transrectal approach. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess if biopsy technique impacted all cancer detection rates or clinically significant (Gleason score >3+4) cancer detection rates. RESULTS Patients who underwent TP-TBx were older (68 vs 65 y, P = .014), with a slightly higher rate of PI-RADSv2.0 score (39% vs 28%, P = .039) and higher lesion volume on mpMRI (0.54 vs 0.41 cc, P = .039). The rates of CS disease detection by TP-TBx and TR-TBx were 59% and 54%, respectively. In a multivariate analysis adjusting for PSA, previous biopsy status, prostate volume, PI-RADS score, lesion volume, and lesion location, there was no statistically significant difference in likelihood to detect any PCa (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.56-1.71; P = .940) or CS PCa (OR, 0.94, 95% CI, 0.58-1.51; P = .791). CONCLUSION Transperineal targeted biopsy with electromagnetic-tracking is comparable to the transrectal fusion-guided approach in the detection of any PCa and csPCa cancer.

Abstract
This IRB-approved prospective pilot study evaluates the safety and feasibility of performing stereotactic robot-assisted transperineal MRI-US fusion targeted prostate biopsy under local anaesthesia (LA) with sedation. 30 patients who underwent robotic transperineal prostate biopsy between September 2017 and June 2018 were recruited. All biopsies were performed with the iSR'obot Mona Lisa® and BK3000 ultrasound system. Intravenous paracetamol 1 g, with midazolam and fentanyl were given at positioning. After administration of 5 mL of 1%-lidocaine into the perineal skin 2 cm above and lateral to the anus, periapical prostatic block with 10 mL mixture of 1%-Lidocaine and 0.5%-Marcaine was given. The median age of patients was 66 years (range 53-80 years). Median PSA and mean prostate volume were 8.1 ng/ml (range 4.2-20.6 ng/ml) and 40.1 cc (range 18.6-70 cc). 24 (80.0%) patients had targeted prostate biopsy, with median number of targeted cores of 8 (range 5-16). All patients had saturation biopsy and median number of saturation cores was 21 (range 9-48). Mean dose of intravenous midazolam given was 1.5 mg (range 0-5 mg) and intravenous fentanyl was 75 mcg (10-150 mcg). No patient required conversion to GA. Two patients required motion compensation of 3 mm and 7.5 mm, respectively, due minor movement. Immediate post-operative pain score was 0 for all patients. 29 of 30 patients (96.7%) were discharged within 24 h of procedure. There were no immediate severe complications. Adenocarcinoma was detected in 19/30 (63.3%) cases. This pilot feasibility study showed that stereotactic robotic transperineal MRI-US fusion targeted prostate biopsy can be safely and accurately performed under LA with sedation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the histopathological outcomes, morbidity and tolerability of freehand transperineal (TP) prostate biopsies using the PrecisionPoint™ access system (Perineologic, Cumberland, MD, USA) under local anaesthetic (LA) in the day surgery and outpatient environments, as systematic and targeted biopsies can be taken with the potential for reduced morbidity, particularly sepsis. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 176 patients underwent freehand TP prostate biopsies from May 2016 to November 2017. The procedure was carried out either under LA alone or with the addition of sedation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were reported using the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS), version 2. Tolerability was assessed using a visual analogue scale pain score for each procedural stage. Histopathological outcomes and complications were recorded. RESULTS The mean (range) age was 65 (36-83) years, median (range) prostate-specific antigen level was 7.9 (0.7-1374) ng/mL, and the mean (range) prostate volume 45 (15-157) mL. Biopsies were taken under LA alone (160 patients, 90%) or under LA with sedation (16, 9%). The main indication for biopsy was primary diagnosis (88.6%). In all, 91 (52%) patients underwent systematic TP biopsies (mean 24.2 cores). Cognitive MRI-targeted biopsies alone were performed in 45 patients (26%; mean 6.8 cores), and 40 (23%) had both systematic and target biopsies (mean 27.9 cores). Of the 75 patients who had primary systematic biopsies alone, 46 (61%) were positive, and 28/46 (60.9%) were diagnosed with clinically significant disease (Gleason ≥3+4). VAS pain scores were greatest during LA administration. There were five complications (2.8%, Clavien-Dindo Grade I/II). No patients developed urosepsis. CONCLUSIONS Freehand TP biopsies using the PrecisionPoint access system is a safe, tolerable and effective method for systematic and targeted biopsies under LA in the outpatient setting. It has replaced transrectal biopsies in our centre and has potential to transform practice.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the clinical utility of transperineal template-guided saturation prostate biopsy (TPB) for risk stratification after transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 155 patients who underwent TPB after previously negative results on TRUS-guided biopsy (n=58) or who were candidates for active surveillance (n=97) fulfilling the PRIAS criteria between May 2017 and November 2018. The patients' clinicopathologic data were reviewed, and the detection of clinically significant cancer (CSC) and upgrading of Gleason grade were identified. Results The patients' median age and pre-TPB prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value were 65.0 years and 5.74 ng/mL, respectively. A median of 36 biopsy cores was obtained in each patient, with a median TPB core density of 0.88 cores/cm3. Of the 58 males with a previous negative result on TRUS-guided biopsy, prostate cancer (PCa) was detected in 17 males (29.3%), including 8 with CSC. Of the 97 patient candidates for active surveillance, upgrading of the Gleason grade was identified in 31 males (32.0%), 20 with a Gleason grade of 7 (3+4), 6 with a Gleason grade of 7 (4+3), and 5 with a Gleason grade of 8 (4+4). The overall complication rate was 14.8% (23/155), and there were no Clavien–Dindo grade 3 to 5 complications. Conclusions TPB helps to stratify the risk of PCa that was previously missed or underdiagnosed by TRUS-guided biopsy. TPB might be used as a diagnostic tool to determine risk classification and to help counsel patients with regard to treatment decisions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Radiological features of granulomatous prostatitis (GP) overlap with those of prostate adenocarcinoma. Identification of specific GP features may aid diagnosis. We aimed to evaluate the multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) features of GP. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 16 patients from a cohort undergoing mpMRI and transperineal sector-guided prostate biopsies between July 2012 and May 2017. Images were analysed for lesion location, shape, size, extracapsular extension, signal intensity (SI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) pattern and PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System) v2 score. RESULTS Histology revealed 13 cases of nonspecific GP and 3 cases of xanthogranulomatous prostatitis. GP lesions were diffuse involving > 50% of the prostate ( n = 13) or nodular ( n = 3). Signal intensity on T 2 weighted imaging was low and high on diffusion-weighted imaging. ADC values were low (mean 702 ± 79 × 10-6 mm/s2 ). Five patients had DCE imaging with all cases 'positive' as per PI-RADS scoring, with two cases displaying further ring enhancement consistent with abscess formation. Overall PI-RADS score for all cases was 5, indicating high suspicion of prostate cancer. CONCLUSION GP is difficult to differentiate from prostate cancer, but typically gives diffuse changes involving > 50% of the gland on mpMRI, with extracapsular extension and rim-enhancing areas. It should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with recent urinary tract infection (UTI) or prior Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Prostate MRI imaging features including diffuse changes, extracapsular extension and rim-enhancing areas, in patients with recent UTI or BCG treatment may help identify granulomatous prostatitis cases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review the evidence addressing current controversies around prostate biopsy. Specific questions explored were (1) mpMRI targeted (TgBx) alone versus combined with systematic (SBx) biopsy; (2) cognitive versus software-based targeted biopsy; (3) transrectal or transperineal route (TP). METHODS We performed a literature search of peer-reviewed English language articles using PubMed and the words "prostate" AND "biopsy". Web search was implemented by manual search. RESULTS Prostate mpMRI is revolutionizing prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis, and TgBx improves the detection of clinically significant (cs) PCa compared to SBx alone. The utility of combining SBx-TgBx is variable, but in non-expert centres the two should be combined to overcome learning curve-limitations. Whether SBx should be maintained in expert centres depends on what rate of missed cancer the urological community and patients are prone to accept; this has implications for insignificant cancer diagnosis as well. TgBx may be more precise using a software-based-approach despite cognitive TgBx proved non-inferior in some studies, and may be used for large accessible lesions. TP-biopsies are feasible in an in-office setting. Avoidance of the rectum and accessibility of virtually all prostate areas are attractive features. However, this has to be balanced with local setting and resources implications. Ongoing trials will shed light on unsolved issues. CONCLUSION The prostate biopsy strategy should be tailored to local expertise, needs and resources availability. Targeted biopsy enhance the ratio between cs and insignificant cancer diagnosis, although some csPCa might be missed. Software-based TgBx are likely to be more precise, especially for new users, although the additional cost might be not justified in all cases. TPBx have ideal attributes for performing TgBx and avoiding infection, although this has resources implications.

A Single Educational Seminar Increases Confidence and Decreases Dropout from Active Surveillance by 5 Years After Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer. Eur Urol Oncol 2018; 2:464-470. [PMID: 31277784 DOI: 10.1016/j.euo.2018.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2018] [Revised: 08/29/2018] [Accepted: 09/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Researchers remain divided on the major causes of dropout from active surveillance (AS), with rates of up to 38% among men with no evidence of prostate cancer (PC) progression. OBJECTIVE To develop and evaluate an educational intervention in terms of adherence to AS among men with low- to intermediate-risk PC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We first carried out focus group discussions with men who had remained on and dropped out of AS to inform an intervention to increase adherence to AS. A total of 255 consecutive men who had selected AS were then recruited to either standard care (written information and access to a nurse specialist) or standard care and the intervention. INTERVENTION An educational seminar was designed by patients and clinicians including information on imaging, biopsy techniques, understanding pathology, large AS cohorts - mortality and morbidity risk and diet and lifestyle advice. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The proportion of men dropping out of AS for reasons other than disease progression was assessed at 1 and 5yr after AS selection using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Common themes influencing decision-making by men on AS were identified: (1) clinical consistency; (2) information; and (3) lifestyle advice. Addition of an educational seminar led to significantly fewer men dropping out of AS: at 1 and 5yr the dropout rate was 25% and 42%, respectively, in the standard care group, compared to 11% and 22% (p=0.001) in the intervention group. In the intervention group, 18 men failed to attend the seminar. CONCLUSIONS The AS dropout rate was halved following a single educational seminar delivered to groups of men with intermediate- or low-risk PC, even at 5yr. PATIENT SUMMARY Men on active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer feel more supported when provided with an educational seminar within 3 mo of their treatment choice. The seminar halved the number of men dropping-out of AS, even at 5yr.

Predictors of fluoroquinolone-resistant bacteria in the rectal vault of men undergoing prostate biopsy. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2018; 22:268-275. [PMID: 30279581 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-018-0092-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2018] [Revised: 08/19/2018] [Accepted: 08/25/2018] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
IMPORTANCE Fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant rectal vault flora is associated with infectious complications in men undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy (TRUS-PNB). OBJECTIVE To determine the patient factors that predict FQ-resistant rectal cultures in men who are undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy. METHODS An IRB approved retrospective review of 6183 consecutive men who had undergone a rectal swab culture in preparation for TRUS-PNB between January 2013 and December 2014 was performed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the clinical and demographic factors associated with FQ-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in the rectal vault. RESULTS Of the 6179 rectal swabs analyzed, 4842 (78%) were FQ-sensitive, and 1337 (22%) were FQ-resistant. On univariable analysis, increasing age, prior TRUS-PNB, higher number of biopsy cores obtained, diabetes mellitus, antimicrobial use within the past 6 months and non-Caucasian race were predictors of FQ-resistance (all p < 0.05). Men with FQ-resistant cultures were more likely to have benign pathology on TRUS-PNB (p = 0.004). On multivariable analysis, increasing patient age (OR = 1.01/year [1.00-1.02]), use of antimicrobials in the last 6 months (OR = 2.85[2.18-3.72]), African American (OR = 1.99 [1.66-2.37]), Asian (OR = 3.39 [2.63-4.37]), and Hispanic (OR = 2.10 [1.72-2.55]) races were independently associated with FQ-resistant rectal cultures. The overall infectious rate was 1.1% (56/5214) and the sepsis rate was 0.46% (24/5214). The infection rate in the FQ-resistant group was 3.9% (43/1107) compared to FQ-sensitive group 0.3% (13/4107), p < 0.001. CONCLUSION In this cohort, increasing age, recent antimicrobial-use, and non-Caucasian race were independent predictors of FQ-resistance in the rectal vault. As FQ-resistance is associated with infectious complications from transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy, understanding risk factors may assist infection control efforts.

Effect of Augmented Antimicrobial Prophylaxis and Rectal Swab Culture-guided Targeted Prophylaxis on the Risk of Sepsis Following Transrectal Prostate Biopsy. Eur Urol Focus 2018; 6:95-101. [PMID: 31928632 DOI: 10.1016/j.euf.2018.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2018] [Revised: 05/30/2018] [Accepted: 06/21/2018] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a severe complication following transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSPBx). Ciprofloxacin is commonly used for prophylaxis; however, there is an increasing incidence of resistant enteric organisms worldwide. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of a targeted prophylactic antimicrobial regimen based on rectal swab cultures in reducing the rate of sepsis. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A total of 1012 patients were included. Group A (609 patients) received an empirical prophylactic antimicrobial regimen of gentamicin, metronidazole, and ciprofloxacin. Targeted antimicrobial prophylaxis was introduced due to significant ciprofloxacin and gentamicin resistance in patients admitted with sepsis following TRUSPBx. The remaining 403 patients (Group B) had rectal swab cultures performed prior to biopsy. Patients with organisms resistant to ciprofloxacin or gentamicin received a targeted prophylaxis regimen of fosfomycin, amikacin, and metronidazole. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS We retrospectively collected and analysed data on sepsis and bacteraemia for all patients as well as data on rectal swab culture, recent foreign travel, and recent antibiotic use for patients in Group B. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS In group A, 12 (2.0%) patients developed sepsis following TRUSPBx, while in group B, 9 (2.2%) patients developed sepsis despite targeted prophylaxis (p=0.82). Patients with ciprofloxacin-resistant rectal flora had a significantly higher rate of sepsis (9.1% vs 1.1%; p=0.003). There was a reduction in patients admitted with bacteraemia and severe sepsis between group A (1.2%) and group B (0.3%) which did not reach statistical significance (p=0.16). In group B, 55 of 403 (13.6%) patients had ciprofloxacin-resistant rectal flora, while 66 (16.4%) had organisms resistant to both ciprofloxacin and gentamicin. A recent foreign travel history was associated with an increased incidence of ciprofloxacin-resistant rectal flora (23.6% vs 10.8%; p=0.007). The main limitations of our study include its retrospective nature and potential under-reporting of less severe infectious complications. CONCLUSIONS Rectal swab cultures identify patients with ciprofloxacin-resistant rectal flora who have an eight-fold risk of sepsis. Targeted antimicrobial prophylaxis may not be beneficial in reducing the sepsis rate when compared with augmented empirical prophylaxis. In an era of increasing antimicrobial resistance, transperineal prostate biopsies should be considered to reduce the risk of infective complications. PATIENT SUMMARY Performing rectal swab culture prior to transrectal prostate biopsy can help identify patients at risk of developing sepsis despite targeted prophylactic antibiotics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent advances have led to the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alone or with fusion to transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images for guiding biopsy of the prostate. Our group sought to develop consensus recommendations regarding MRI-guided prostate biopsy based on currently available literature and expert opinion. METHODS The published literature on the subject of MRI-guided prostate biopsy was reviewed using standard search terms and synthesized and analyzed by four different subgroups from among the authors. The literature was grouped into four categories-MRI-guided biopsy platforms, robotic MRI-TRUS fusion biopsy, template mapping biopsy and transrectal MRI-TRUS fusion biopsy. Consensus recommendations were developed using the Oxford Center for Evidence Based Medicine criteria. RESULTS There is limited high level evidence available on the subject of MRI-guided prostate biopsy. MRI guidance with or without TRUS fusion can lead to fewer unnecessary biopsies, help identify high-risk (Gleason ≥ 3 + 4) cancers that might have been missed on standard TRUS biopsy and identify cancers in the anterior prostate. There is no apparent significant difference between MRI biopsy platforms. Template mapping biopsy is perhaps the most accurate method of assessing volume and grade of tumor but is accompanied by higher incidence of side effects compared to TRUS biopsy. CONCLUSIONS Magnetic resonance imaging-guided biopsies are feasible and better than traditional ultrasound-guided biopsies for detecting high-risk prostate cancer and anterior lesions. Judicious use of MRI-guided biopsy could enhance diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer while limiting diagnosis of insignificant cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy and utility of routine multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and transperineal template-guided prostate biopsy (TPB) after enrolment in active surveillance (AS). PATIENTS AND METHODS From April 2012 to December 2016 consecutive men from our single institution, diagnosed with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer on transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy, were offered further staging with early mpMRI and TPB within 12 months of diagnosis. Data were collected prospectively. Eligibility criteria comprised: age ≤77 years; Gleason score ≤3 + 4; clinical stage T1-T2; PSA ≤15 ng/mL; and <50% positive biopsy cores. RESULTS A total of 208 men were enrolled, including 196 with Gleason score 3 + 3 and 12 with Gleason score 3 + 4 disease. The median (range) number of TPB cores was 50 (17-161), with a mean TPB core density of 1.2 cores/cm3 prostate volume. A total of 83 men (39.9%) underwent histopathological upgrading after TPB, including 76 men (38.8%) with Gleason score 3 + 3 disease and seven men (58.3%) with Gleason score 3 + 4 disease. Of these, 26 (31.3%) were found to harbour primary pattern Gleason grade ≥4 disease. In all, 24 (28.9%) upgraded cases had Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score 1 or 2 lesions on mpMRI, including five men with Gleason score ≥4 + 3 disease. Of these, 14 (58.3%) had a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density of ≥0.15, including four out of the five men with Gleason ≥4 + 3 disease. Overall there was a change in prostate cancer management in 77 men (37.0%) after TPB. CONCLUSIONS Early TPB during AS is associated with significant upgrading and a change in treatment plan in over a third of men. If TPB was omitted in men with a PI-RADS score <3 and a PSA density <0.15, 12% of those harbouring more significant disease would have been misclassified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the rates of infective complication related to transrectal prostate biopsy (TRPB) as our centre changed its protocol from six doses over 3 days to a single pre-procedure prophylactic dose. METHODS This prospective cohort study identified infective complication in patients who attended and subsequently underwent TRPB at the time of their one-stop prostate clinic at our public tertiary hospital between August 2011 and April 2017. Patients who underwent TRPB between August 2011 and November 2014 received six doses of 500 mg of ciprofloxacin, taken twice daily over 3 days. This protocol was changed to a single dose of 500 mg of ciprofloxacin prior to biopsy from February 2015 to April 2017. Patients who had travelled to South East Asia in the 6 months prior to TRPB received a single dose of 1 g intravenous ertapenem prior to biopsy, and this remained unchanged throughout the study period. The rates of infective complication were recorded and compared between the groups of patients who had undergone six doses versus a single dose of prophylactic ciprofloxacin. RESULTS A total of 766 patients underwent TRPB from August 2011 to April 2017. Of these, 357 patients received the 3-day course of prophylaxis (Group 1) and 409 patients received the single dose prophylaxis (Group 2). Fifty-five patients were excluded from analysis. There was no significant difference in infective complications between the two groups (3.4% (11/326) Group 1 versus 4.9% (19/385) Group 2, P = 0.40). CONCLUSION Our study supports the use of a single dose of ciprofloxacin as sufficient antibiotic prophylaxis prior to TRPB.

Abstract
Objective MRI of the prostate improves diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer. Different fusion approaches with transrectal ultrasound images are employed. Objective To determine detection rate of prostate cancer in men undergoing transperineal MRI-based cognitive fusion biopsy. Materials and Methods One hundred and sixty-four consecutive men underwent a multiple-core prostate transperineal biopsy. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to address the relationship between clinical parameters and prostate cancer detection rate. Results One hundred and fourteen patients underwent mpMRI prior to the transperineal biopsy, 52 (45%) were diagnosed with prostate cancer, of them, 36 had Gleason score ≥7 (69%). Among these 114 patients, 82 had suspicious lesions on MRI, and 43 of them were diagnosed with cancer (52%). On multivariate analysis, the most significant independent predictive factors were PSA density (P<0.001) and suspicious MRI lesion (P=0.006). Men with a PSA density of more than 0.22 and a suspicious lesion on MRI had a detection rate of 78%. Detection rate among 50 patients with no MRI study prior to this biopsy was 26%. Conclusions This study showed that among a group of mostly multi-biopsied patients, the presence of mpMRI lesions and high PSA density values helped to detect clinically significant prostate cancer using cognitive MRI/TRUS fusion biopsies.

Abstract
Until recently, prostate biopsy for the detection of prostate cancer has been performed transrectally and in an untargeted sampling fashion. Consequently, the procedure has suffered a small but significant risk of severe morbidity through infection, and low diagnostic accuracy, with undergrading and missed diagnosis being common. MRI is revolutionizing prostate cancer diagnosis by improving detection accuracy via targeted biopsy. Transperineal biopsy is eradicating sepsis as a risk of prostate biopsy, while avoiding the need for broad-spectrum or combination prophylactic antibiotics. This article analyzes the data on the various current methods of performing prostate biopsy and recommends an optimal technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the role of free-hand transperineal targeted prostate biopsy using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging-transrectal ultrasound (mpMRI-TRUS) fusion in Chinese men with repeated biopsy. METHODS A total of 101 consecutive patients suspicious of prostate cancer (PCa) at the mpMRI scan and with prior negative biopsy and elevated PSA values were prospectively recruited at two urological centers. Suspicious areas on mpMRI were defined and graded using PI-RADS score. Targeted biopsies (TB) were performed for each suspicious lesion and followed a 12-core systematic biopsy (SB). Results of biopsy pathology and whole-gland pathology at prostatectomy were analyzed and compared between TB and SB. The risk for biopsy positivity was assessed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Fusion biopsy revealed PCa in 41 of 101 men (40.6%) and 25 (24.8%) were clinically significant. There was exact agreement between TB and SB in 74 (73.3%) men. TB diagnosed 36% more significant cancer than SB (22 vs 13 cases, P = 0.012). When TB were combined with SB, an additional 14 cases (34.1%) of mostly significant PCa (71.4%) were diagnosed (P = 0.036). TB had greater sensitivity and accuracy for significant cancer than SB in 26 men with whole-gland pathology after prostatectomy. PI-RADS score on mpMRI was the most powerful predictor of PCa and significant cancer. CONCLUSIONS Free-hand transperineal TB guided with MRI-TRUS fusion imaging improves detection of clinical significant PCa in Chinese men with previously negative biopsy. PI-RADS score is a reliable predictor of PCa and significant cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density (PSAD) has potential to increase the diagnostic utility of PSA, yet has had poor uptake in clinical practice. We aimed to determine the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging-derived PSAD (MR-PSAD) in predicting transperineal sector-guided prostate biopsy (TPSB) outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Men presenting for primary TPSB from 2007 to 2014 were considered. Histological outcomes were assessed and defined as: presence of any cancer or significant cancer defined as presence of Gleason 4 and/or maximum tumour core length (MCCL) ≥ 4 mm (G4); or Gleason 4 and/or MCCL ≥ 6 mm (G6). Sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values were calculated, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were generated to compare MR-PSAD and PSA. RESULTS Six hundred fifty-nine men were evaluated with mean age 62.5 ± 9 years, median PSA 6.7 ng/ml (range 0.5-40.0), prostate volume 40 cc (range 7-187) and MR-PSAD 0.15 ng/ml/cc (range 0.019-1.3). ROC area under the curve (95% CI) was significantly better for MR-PSAD than PSA for all cancer definitions (p < 0.001): 0.73 (0.70-0.76) versus 0.61 (0.57-0.64) for any cancer; 0.75 (0.71-0.78) versus 0.66 (0.62-0.69) for G4; and 0.77 (0.74-0.80) versus 0.68 (0.64-0.71) for G6. Sensitivities for MR-PSAD < 0.1 ng/ml/cc were 85.0, 89.9 and 91.9% for any, G4 and G6 cancer, respectively. CONCLUSION MR-PSAD may be better than total PSA in determining risk of positive biopsy outcome. Its use may improve risk stratification and reduce unnecessary biopsies.

Abstract
We aimed to determine short-term patient-reported outcomes in men having general anesthetic transperineal (TP) prostate biopsies. A prospective cohort study was performed in men having a diagnostic TP biopsy. This was done using a validated and adapted questionnaire immediately post-biopsy and at follow-up of between 7 and 14 days across three tertiary referral hospitals with a response rate of 51.6%. Immediately after biopsy 43/201 (21.4%) of men felt light-headed, syncopal, or suffered syncope. Fifty-three percent of men felt discomfort after biopsy (with 95% scoring <5 in a 0-10 scale). Twelve out of 196 men (6.1%) felt pain immediately after the procedure. Despite a high incidence of symptoms (e.g., up to 75% had some hematuria, 47% suffered some pain), it was not a moderate or serious problem for most, apart from hemoejaculate which 31 men suffered. Eleven men needed catheterization (5.5%). There were no inpatient admissions due to complications (hematuria, sepsis). On repeat questioning at a later time point, only 25/199 (12.6%) of men said repeat biopsy would be a significant problem despite a significant and marked reduction in erectile function after the procedure. From this study, we conclude that TP biopsy is well tolerated with similar side effect profiles and attitudes of men to repeat biopsy to men having TRUS biopsies. These data allow informed counseling of men prior to TP biopsy and a benchmark for tolerability with local anesthetic TP biopsies being developed for clinical use.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prostate specific antigen is a marker for prostate cancer and a key diagnostic tool, yet when to refer patients with a borderline PSA is currently unclear. This review describes how to assess a patient with borderline PSA and provides an algorithm for management. METHODS Current literature on reference values, factors affecting PSA, indications for referral, non-invasive investigations and the role of MRI were reviewed. Medline and EMBASE were searched using MeSH terms. RESULTS The literature suggests that a PSA of over 1.5 ng/mL should be used as a cut-off to consider further testing for all age groups. There is strong evidence to show that adjuncts are useful when interpreting PSA results, most notably percentage free PSA and proPSA. Considerable weighting should also be given to the ERSPC risk calculator when deciding when to refer. Multi-parametric MRI is valuable in closely examining suspicious lesions to reduce the number of negative biopsies. MRI fusion biopsy (TRUS, transrectal ultrasonography or transperineal) should be considered over standard TRUS biopsy to detect more clinically significant disease. CONCLUSIONS Management of borderline PSA is not straightforward. A cut-off of 1.5 ng/mL should be used in conjunction with digital rectal exam, risk calculation and PSA adjuncts. Imaging and biopsy should utilise mpMRI to achieve improved diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer, with fewer unnecessary investigations.

Abstract
A rise in antimicrobial resistant uropathogens has generated a global increase in infections following transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx). We performed a systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE® and PubMed to comprehensively review strategies to mitigate infections. Of 1664 articles retrieved, 62 were included. The data suggest that augmented prophylaxis and povidone-iodine bowel preparation warrant consideration in regions with high rates of antimicrobial resistance. Transperineal biopsy may be a safer, equally effective alternative to TRUS-Bx in select cases. Recent international travel appears to increase patients' risk for experiencing infections. These findings can aid clinicians in minimizing post-TRUS-Bx infectious complications.

Abstract
CONTEXT Prostate biopsy (PB) represents the gold standard method to confirm the presence of cancer. In addition to traditional random or systematic approaches, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided technique has been introduced recently. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review of complications after transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided, transperineal, and MRI-guided PB. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We performed a systematic literature search of Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus databases up to October 2015, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Complications and mortality following random, systematic, and image-guided PBs were reviewed. Eighty-five references were included. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS The most frequent complication after PB was minor and self-limiting bleeding (hematuria and hematospermia), regardless of the biopsy approach. Occurrence of rectal bleeding was comparable for traditional TRUS-guided and image-guided PBs. Almost 25% of patients experienced lower urinary tract symptoms, but only a few had urinary retention, with higher rates after a transperineal approach. Temporary erectile dysfunction was not negligible, with a return to baseline after 1-6 mo. The incidence of infective complications is increasing, with higher rates among men with medical comorbidities and older age. Transperineal and in-bore MRI-targeted biopsy may reduce the risk of severe infectious complications. Mortality after PB is uncommon, regardless of biopsy technique. CONCLUSIONS Complications after PB are frequent but often self-limiting. The incidence of hospitalization due to severe infections is continuously increasing. The patient's general health status, risk factors, and likelihood of antimicrobial resistance should be carefully appraised before scheduling a PB. PATIENT SUMMARY We reviewed the variety and incidence of complications after prostate biopsy. Even if frequent, complications seldom represent a problem for the patient. The most troublesome complications are infections. To minimize this risk, the patient's medical condition should be carefully evaluated before biopsy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate biopsy supported by transperineal image fusion has recently been developed as a new method to the improve accuracy of prostate cancer detection. OBJECTIVE To describe the Ginsburg protocol for transperineal prostate biopsy supported by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) image fusion, provide learning points for its application, and report biopsy results. The article is supplemented by a Surgery in Motion video. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This single-centre retrospective outcome study included 534 patients from March 2012 to October 2015. A total of 107 had no previous prostate biopsy, 295 had benign TRUS-guided biopsies, and 159 were on active surveillance for low-risk cancer. SURGICAL PROCEDURE A Likert scale reported mpMRI for suspicion of cancer from 1 (no suspicion) to 5 (cancer highly likely). Transperineal biopsies were obtained under general anaesthesia using BiopSee fusion software (Medcom, Darmstadt, Germany). All patients had systematic biopsies, two cores from each of 12 anatomic sectors. Likert 3-5 lesions were targeted with a further two cores per lesion. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Any cancer and Gleason score 7-10 cancer on biopsy were noted. Descriptive statistics and positive predictive values (PPVs) and negative predictive values (NPVs) were calculated. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS The detection rate of Gleason score 7-10 cancer was similar across clinical groups. Likert scale 3-5 MRI lesions were reported in 378 (71%) of the patients. Cancer was detected in 249 (66%) and Gleason score 7-10 cancer was noted in 157 (42%) of these patients. PPV for detecting 7-10 cancer was 0.15 for Likert score 3, 0.43 for score 4, and 0.63 for score 5. NPV of Likert 1-2 findings was 0.87 for Gleason score 7-10 and 0.97 for Gleason score ≥4+3=7 cancer. Limitations include lack of data on complications. CONCLUSIONS Transperineal prostate biopsy supported by MRI/TRUS image fusion using the Ginsburg protocol yielded high detection rates of Gleason score 7-10 cancer. Because the NPV for excluding Gleason score 7-10 cancer was very high, prostate biopsies may not be needed for all men with elevated prostate-specific antigen values and nonsuspicious mpMRI. PATIENT SUMMARY We present our technique to sample (biopsy) the prostate by the transperineal route (the area between the scrotum and the anus) to detect prostate cancer using a fusion of magnetic resonance and ultrasound images to guide the sampling.

Abstract
Urologists in the UK are encouraged to follow the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for patient management. In 2014, members of the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) were asked in a survey what diagnostic pathway they would follow for themselves or their relatives if they had a raised prostate-specific antigen (PSA). It was found that only a quarter would follow NICE guidance. The current recommendations rely on pathological assessment of prostate tissue obtained at a transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy. Increasing evidence indicates that pre-biopsy multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) coupled with targeted biopsy approaches outperform random biopsies in the detection of clinically significant disease. Herein we discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging and targeted biopsy approaches to diagnose prostate cancer in the modern era.

Abstract
We wanted to determine whether serial transperineal sector prostate biopsies have a long-term effect on erectile dysfunction (ED). A total of 64 men with prostate cancer entered our active surveillance (AS) programme after a transrectal prostate biopsy as well as a confirmatory initial transperineal sector prostate biopsy (TPSBx). A repeat TPSBx was performed 24 months later as part of our active surveillance protocol. The International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) questionnaire assessed ED at baseline prior to each TPSBx, and at one, three, and six months after first and second TPSBx. There was a significant short-term deterioration in erectile function on mean IIEF-5 score between baseline (19.5), when compared to one month (10.5) (P <0.001) and three months (18.7) (P = 0.001) following first TPSBx. This resolved at six month follow-up (19.6) (P = 0.681). Following second TPSBx, there was a deterioration in erectile function between baseline (16.6), compared to one month (7.3), three months (13.8), and six months (15.9) (P <0.05) following second TPSBx. Initial TPSBx caused significant short-term ED, which resolved by six months. Serial TPSBx appears to have an adverse impact on erectile function in men monitored on AS, increasing the risk of long-term ED. This risk should be highlighted and discussed during the consent process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the incidence of prostate cancer diagnosis and quality of life outcomes following transperineal prostate biopsy. METHODS Forty-six consecutive patients underwent office-based transperineal prostate biopsy for an elevated prostate-specific antigen and a normal digital rectal examination without prior prostate biopsy. Prior to biopsy, a repeat prostate-specific antigen was obtained to ensure persistent elevation. Silodosin (8 mg daily) was initiated the day prior to biopsy and continued for 1 week. A total of 18-20 biopsy cores were obtained per patient. All patients responded to a visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10 immediately following the completion of both the local anesthesia and the biopsy procedure. In addition, an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Rectal Function Assessment Score, International Index of Erectile Function, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and postvoid residual were obtained at baseline and 30 days following biopsy, except IPSS which was also obtained at day 7. RESULTS The mean patient age was 63.3 years with a mean prostate volume of 41.8 cm(3). The mean visual analog scale was 4.2 for the local anesthesia and 3.0 for the biopsy. Thirty-one patients (67.4%) were diagnosed with prostate cancer, with 18 having a Gleason score ≥ 7. Compared to baseline, no adverse changes in IPSS, Rectal Function Assessment Score, International Index of Erectile Function, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, or postvoid residual were detected at day 30. No patient required catheterization, developed sepsis, or required hospitalization. CONCLUSION Office-based transperineal prostate biopsy was well tolerated with reasonable treatment-related discomfort, a high rate of prostate cancer diagnosis, and the absence of significant morbidity including sepsis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate how accurate a 12-core transrectal biopsy derived low-risk prostate cancer diagnosis is for an active surveillance programme by comparing the histological outcome with that from confirmatory transperineal sector biopsy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The cohort included 166 men diagnosed with low volume Gleason score 3+3 prostate cancer on initial transrectal biopsy who also underwent a confirmatory biopsy. Both biopsy techniques were performed according to standard protocols and samples were taken for histopathology analysis. Subgroup analysis was performed according to disease severity at baseline to determine possible disease parameters of upgrading at confirmatory biopsy. RESULTS After confirmatory biopsy, 34% demonstrated Gleason score upgrade, out of which 25% were Gleason score 3+4 and 8.5% primary Gleason pattern 4. Results remained consistent for the subgroup analysis and a weak positive association, but not statistically significant, between prostate specific antigen (PSA), age, and percentage of positive cores, and PCa upgrading at confirmatory biopsy was found. CONCLUSION In our single centre study, we found that one-third of patients had higher Gleason score at confirmatory biopsy. Furthermore 8.5% of these upgraders had a primary Gleason pattern 4. Our results together with previously published evidence highlight the need for the revision of current guidelines in prostate cancer diagnosis for the selection of men for active surveillance.
