Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of applying the 2014 and 2019 International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) recommendations on grade group distribution and concordance with radical prostatectomy (RP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Overall, 655 biopsy-naïve patients diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) targeted and systematic biopsies for Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score ≥3 lesions were identified from a prospectively maintained database from 2016 and 2022. Clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in 249 patients, of whom 69 underwent RP. Wilcoxon signed rank and McNemar's tests were used to compare the ISUP grade group distribution and concordance with RP after applying the 2014 (i.e., highest grade) and 2019 (i.e., global grade) ISUP recommendations, respectively. RESULTS Compared to the 2014 ISUP recommendations, the 2019 ISUP recommendations were associated with a significant decrease in ISUP Grade Group 4 (range of difference from -13% to -5%) and an increase in ISUP Grade Group 2 (range of difference from +6% to +11%) in MRI targeted biopsy only, MRI targeted with perilesional biopsies, and MRI targeted with systematic biopsies (all P < 0.01). In patients who underwent RP, a significant decrease in downgrading was observed with all biopsy strategies (range of difference from -19% to -12%; P ≤ 0.008), along with an increase in concordance with RP specimen (range of difference from +12% to +13%; P ≤ 0.02). The use of the 2019 ISUP recommendation was associated with RP specimen a lower treatment burden. CONCLUSIONS The use of the 2019 ISUP recommendations mitigates the grade migration induced by MRI targeted biopsy and improves the concordance with the final RP specimen.

High-throughput precision MRI assessment with integrated stack-ensemble deep learning can enhance the preoperative prediction of prostate cancer Gleason grade. Br J Cancer 2023; 128:1267-1277. [PMID: 36646808 PMCID: PMC10050457 DOI: 10.1038/s41416-022-02134-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop and test a Prostate Imaging Stratification Risk (PRISK) tool for precisely assessing the International Society of Urological Pathology Gleason grade (ISUP-GG) of prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS This study included 1442 patients with prostate biopsy from two centres (training, n = 672; internal test, n = 231 and external test, n = 539). PRISK is designed to classify ISUP-GG 0 (benign), ISUP-GG 1, ISUP-GG 2, ISUP-GG 3 and ISUP GG 4/5. Clinical indicators and high-throughput MRI features of PCa were integrated and modelled with hybrid stacked-ensemble learning algorithms. RESULTS PRISK achieved a macro area-under-curve of 0.783, 0.798 and 0.762 for the classification of ISUP-GGs in training, internal and external test data. Permitting error ±1 in grading ISUP-GGs, the overall accuracy of PRISK is nearly comparable to invasive biopsy (train: 85.1% vs 88.7%; internal test: 85.1% vs 90.4%; external test: 90.4% vs 94.2%). PSA ≥ 20 ng/ml (odds ratio [OR], 1.58; p = 0.001) and PRISK ≥ GG 3 (OR, 1.45; p = 0.005) were two independent predictors of biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free survival, with a C-index of 0.76 (95% CI, 0.73-0.79) for BCR-free survival prediction. CONCLUSIONS PRISK might offer a potential alternative to non-invasively assess ISUP-GG of PCa.

Prostate 2023; 83:323-330. [PMID: 36461793 DOI: 10.1002/pros.24464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted prostate biopsy has become an increasingly common method of diagnosing prostate cancer. A previous study from our institution demonstrated that the biopsy global Grade Group (gGG, aggregate GG of all positive cores) and highest Grade Group (hGG in any core) both show substantial concordance with the Grade Group at radical prostatectomy (RPGG) while the discordance predominantly consists of upgrading in gGG and downgrading in hGG. We performed a larger cohort study focused on biopsy cases in which gGG and hGG differ, to determine their relative concordance with RPGG. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of radical prostatectomy specimens with prior MRI-targeted biopsies from our institution between 2016 and 2020. Separate gGG and hGG were assigned to each MRI-targeted lesion. Targeted lesions with different gGG versus hGG were segregated from those with identical gGG and hGG. The concordance of biopsy GG with RPGG was evaluated using κ coefficient analysis. RESULTS Of the 489 lesions with MRI-targeted biopsies, 82 (17%) differed in gGG versus hGG. The gGG of 46 (56%), 33 (40%), and 3 (4%) lesions were unchanged, upgraded, and downgraded at radical prostatectomy, respectively (κ= 0.302, weighted κ = 0.334). The hGG of 24 (29%), 9 (11%), and 49 (60%) lesions were unchanged, upgraded, and downgraded at radical prostatectomy, respectively (κ = 0.040, weighted κ = 0.198). When stratified by the biopsy GG, gGG showed the highest concordance in GG2 (61%) and GG3 (54%) lesions. The hGG resulted in substantial downgrading (60%) with less optimal concordance regardless of the biopsy GG. Neither the prebiopsy prostate specific antigen level nor the PI-RADS score was predictive of upgrading of gGG. CONCLUSIONS When gGG and hGG differ, gGG method more accurately predicts the RPGG than hGG, particularly in GG2 and GG3 lesions which comprised the majority of targeted lesions.

Significant Inter- and Intralaboratory Variation in Gleason Grading of Prostate Cancer: A Nationwide Study of 35,258 Patients in The Netherlands. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13215378. [PMID: 34771542 PMCID: PMC8582481 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13215378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Gleason grading of prostate cancer is essential for treatment strategies and patient prognosis. Previous studies showed grading variation between pathologists when grading prostate cancer. Our study analyzed the presence and extent of grading variation between and within pathology laboratories in The Netherlands. In our nationwide retrospective study, we analyzed prostate needle biopsy reports of 35,258 patients in The Netherlands graded by 40 pathology laboratories. We found a considerable variation between and within pathology laboratories, as over half of the laboratories graded significantly different from the national mean. This likely affects treatment strategy and prognosis assessment of prostate cancer patients. Abstract Purpose: Our aim was to analyze grading variation between pathology laboratories and between pathologists within individual laboratories using nationwide real-life data. Methods: We retrieved synoptic (n = 13,397) and narrative (n = 29,377) needle biopsy reports from the Dutch Pathology Registry and prostate-specific antigen values from The Netherlands Cancer Registration for prostate cancer patients diagnosed between January 2017 and December 2019. We determined laboratory-specific proportions per histologic grade and unadjusted odds ratios (ORs) for International Society of Urological Pathologists Grades 1 vs. 2–5 for 40 laboratories due to treatment implications for higher grades. Pathologist-specific proportions were determined for 21 laboratories that consented to this part of analysis. The synoptic reports of 21 laboratories were used for analysis of case-mix correction for PSA, age, year of diagnosis, number of biopsies and positive cores. Results: A total of 38,321 reports of 35,258 patients were included. Grade 1 ranged between 19.7% and 44.3% per laboratory (national mean = 34.1%). Out of 40 laboratories, 22 (55%) reported a significantly deviant OR, ranging from 0.48 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39–0.59) to 1.54 (CI 1.22–1.93). Case-mix correction was performed for 10,294 reports, altering the status of 3/21 (14%) laboratories, but increasing the observed variation (20.8% vs. 17.7%). Within 15/21 (71%) of laboratories, significant inter-pathologist variation existed. Conclusion: Substantial variation in prostate cancer grading was observed between and within Dutch pathology laboratories. Case-mix correction did not explain the variation. Better standardization of prostate cancer grading is warranted to optimize and harmonize treatment.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Controversies and uncertainty persist in prostate cancer grading. OBJECTIVE.— To update grading recommendations. DATA SOURCES.— Critical review of the literature along with pathology and clinician surveys. CONCLUSIONS.— Percent Gleason pattern 4 (%GP4) is as follows: (1) report %GP4 in needle biopsy with Grade Groups (GrGp) 2 and 3, and in needle biopsy on other parts (jars) of lower grade in cases with at least 1 part showing Gleason score (GS) 4 + 4 = 8; and (2) report %GP4: less than 5% or less than 10% and 10% increments thereafter. Tertiary grade patterns are as follows: (1) replace "tertiary grade pattern" in radical prostatectomy (RP) with "minor tertiary pattern 5 (TP5)," and only use in RP with GrGp 2 or 3 with less than 5% Gleason pattern 5; and (2) minor TP5 is noted along with the GS, with the GrGp based on the GS. Global score and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsies are as follows: (1) when multiple undesignated cores are taken from a single MRI-targeted lesion, an overall grade for that lesion is given as if all the involved cores were one long core; and (2) if providing a global score, when different scores are found in the standard and the MRI-targeted biopsy, give a single global score (factoring both the systematic standard and the MRI-targeted positive cores). Grade Groups are as follows: (1) Grade Groups (GrGp) is the terminology adopted by major world organizations; and (2) retain GS 3 + 5 = 8 in GrGp 4. Cribriform carcinoma is as follows: (1) report the presence or absence of cribriform glands in biopsy and RP with Gleason pattern 4 carcinoma. Intraductal carcinoma (IDC-P) is as follows: (1) report IDC-P in biopsy and RP; (2) use criteria based on dense cribriform glands (>50% of the gland is composed of epithelium relative to luminal spaces) and/or solid nests and/or marked pleomorphism/necrosis; (3) it is not necessary to perform basal cell immunostains on biopsy and RP to identify IDC-P if the results would not change the overall (highest) GS/GrGp part per case; (4) do not include IDC-P in determining the final GS/GrGp on biopsy and/or RP; and (5) "atypical intraductal proliferation (AIP)" is preferred for an intraductal proliferation of prostatic secretory cells which shows a greater degree of architectural complexity and/or cytological atypia than typical high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, yet falling short of the strict diagnostic threshold for IDC-P. Molecular testing is as follows: (1) Ki67 is not ready for routine clinical use; (2) additional studies of active surveillance cohorts are needed to establish the utility of PTEN in this setting; and (3) dedicated studies of RNA-based assays in active surveillance populations are needed to substantiate the utility of these expensive tests in this setting. Artificial intelligence and novel grading schema are as follows: (1) incorporating reactive stromal grade, percent GP4, minor tertiary GP5, and cribriform/intraductal carcinoma are not ready for adoption in current practice.

Assessment of MYC/PTEN Status by Gene-Protein Assay in Grade Group 2 Prostate Biopsies. J Mol Diagn 2021; 23:1030-1041.

Abstract
This study leveraged a gene-protein assay to assess MYC and PTEN status at prostate cancer biopsy and examined the association with adverse outcomes after surgery. MYC gain and PTEN loss were simultaneously assessed by chromogenic in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, respectively, using 277 Grade Group 2 needle biopsies that were followed by prostatectomy. The maximal size of cribriform Gleason pattern 4 carcinoma (CRIB), the presence of intraductal carcinoma (IDC), and percentage of Gleason pattern 4 carcinoma at biopsy were also annotated. MYC gain or PTEN loss was present in 19% and 18% of biopsies, respectively, whereas both alterations were present in 9% of biopsies. Tumors with one or both alterations were significantly more likely to have non-organ-confined disease (NOCD) at radical prostatectomy. In logistic regression models, including clinical stage, tumor volume on biopsy, and presence of CRIB/IDC, cases with MYC gain and PTEN loss remained at higher risk for NOCD (odds ratio, 6.23; 95% CI, 1.74-24.55; P = 0.005). The area under the curve for a baseline model using CAPRA variables (age, prostate-specific antigen, percentage of core involvement, clinical stage) was increased from 0.68 to 0.69 with inclusion of CRIB/IDC status and to 0.75 with MYC/PTEN status. Dual MYC/PTEN status can be assessed in a single slide and is independently associated with increased risk of NOCD for Grade Group 2 biopsies.

Abstract
Five years after the last prostatic carcinoma grading consensus conference of the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP), accrual of new data and modification of clinical practice require an update of current pathologic grading guidelines. This manuscript summarizes the proceedings of the ISUP consensus meeting for grading of prostatic carcinoma held in September 2019, in Nice, France. Topics brought to consensus included the following: (1) approaches to reporting of Gleason patterns 4 and 5 quantities, and minor/tertiary patterns, (2) an agreement to report the presence of invasive cribriform carcinoma, (3) an agreement to incorporate intraductal carcinoma into grading, and (4) individual versus aggregate grading of systematic and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging-targeted biopsies. Finally, developments in the field of artificial intelligence in the grading of prostatic carcinoma and future research perspectives were discussed.

Implementation of Grade Groups (GrGrs) has been widely accepted for reporting prostate cancer grade since the 2014 International Society of Urological Pathology consensus meeting. Despite their undisputed value for risk stratification, some GrGr are, a priori, quite heterogeneous in that they contain multiple Gleason patterns (GPs). In this regard, the prognostic significance of GP5 in biopsies with highest GrGr4 is uncertain and evaluated in this study. A search of all core biopsies positive for prostate cancer reviewed after 2005 was performed, and 71 cases with highest GrGr4 containing GP5 (i.e., 3 + 5 = 8 or 5 + 3 = 8; referred to as GrGr4/GP5pos) eligible for inclusion were identified. In addition, 95 core biopsy cases with highest GrGr4 and no GP5 (i.e, 4 + 4 = 8; referred to as GrGr4/GP5neg) were selected for comparison. Multiple pathologic parameters, including volume and amount of GP4, and clinical variables were collected to evaluate the influence of GP5 on disease recurrence, development of metastases, and disease-specific death. GrGr4/GP5pos cases did not show, as a group, statistically significant differences in prostatectomy findings, disease recurrence, metastases, and disease-specific mortality when compared with GrGr4/GP5neg cases. In addition, the risk of all outcomes evaluated in the study did not differ between the whole GrGr4/GP5pos and GrGr4/GP5neg groups. However, Kaplan-Meier analysis found that GrGr4/GP5pos cases with a significant amount of GP4 did show a higher risk of prostate cancer-specific death as well as bone and visceral metastases. Univariate Cox regression demonstrated that preoperative prostate specific antigen (PSA), total number of positive cores, and global GrGr5 were also associated with a higher chance of disease-specific death. In a multivariate model, only global GrGr5 and PSA >20 ng/dL remained statistically significant. This study suggests that the mere presence of GP5 in core biopsies with highest GrGr4 disease may not portend a worse prognosis. In these cases, accounting for the case-wide volume of GP4 by reporting a global GrGr appears to be more relevant as it identifies a subset of GrGr4/GP5pos patients with global GrGr5 who have a higher risk of metastases and prostate cancer-specific mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to evaluate if multiparametric magnetic resonance (mpMRI)-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion targeted biopsy (TBx) versus untargeted standard biopsy (SBx) may decrease the rate of pathological upgrading of Gleason Score (GS) 3+4 prostate cancer (PCa) at radical prostatectomy (RP). We also evaluated the impact of percent pattern 4 and cribriform glands at biopsy in the risk of GS 3+4=7 upgrading. METHODS A total of 301 patients with GS 3+4 PCa on biopsy (159 SBx and 142 TBx) who underwent laparoscopic robot-assisted RP were sequentially enrolled. Histological data from RP sections were used as reference standard. The concordance of biopsy with pathological GS, as well as the GS 3+4 upgrading at RP were evaluated in different univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression models, testing age, PSA, fPSA%, tumor volume, PI-RADS, clinical stage, percentage of Gleason pattern 4 (GP) and/or presence of cribriform sub-type at biopsy. RESULTS Of the 301 biopsies, the median of GP 4 was 16% of the tissue. Minimal GP 4 (≤16%) cancers had a significant lower median volume (1.7 mL) than those with GP4 >16% (2.9 mL), (P<0.001). Pathological GS 3+4 was confirmed for 58.8% and 82.2% for SBx and TBx patients, respectively. The rate of upgraded and downgraded GS on SBx versus TBx was 38.8% vis. 16.7% and 1.8% and 2.1%, respectively. The rate of upgrading was significantly associated with the presence of GP4 >16% versus ≤16% (OR 4.4, 95% CI 1.4-12.0; P=0.021) and with the presence of cribriform sub-type at biopsy specimens (OR 6.2, 95% CI 2.2-18.7; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that TBx technique significantly reduced the risk of GS 3+4 upgrading at RP, compared to SBx one. The rate of upgrading was significantly associated with GP4>16%, mostly when cribriform sub-type was present at biopsy specimens.

Abstract
Histological grading of prostate cancer is one of the most important tissue-based parameters for prediction of outcome and treatment response. Gleason grading remains the foundation of prostate cancer grading, but has undergone a series of changes in the past 30 years, often initiated by consensus conference decisions. This review summarizes the most important modifications that were introduced by the 2005 and 2014 International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) revisions of Gleason grading and discusses the impact that these have had on current grading practices. A considerable inflation in Gleason scores has been observed, especially following the ISUP 2005 revision, and the effects of this are discussed. ISUP 2014 grading recommendations are described, including the reporting of ISUP grades 1-5. Controversial issues include methods for reporting of grades on needle biopsies, reporting of percent Gleason grades 4/5 and grading of cribriform and intraductal carcinoma of the prostate. Educational programs developed recently to promote standardization of grading are described and their results assessed.

Abstract
AimTo determine how clinicians use data in contemporary prostate biopsy reports.MethodsA survey was circulated to members of the British Association of Urological Surgeons and the British Uro-oncology Group.ResultsResponses were received from 114 respondents (88 urologists, 26 oncologists). Ninety-seven (94%) use the number of positive cores from each side and 43 (42%) use the % number of positive cores. When determining the number and percentage of positive cores, 72 (71%) would not differentiate between targeted and non-targeted samples. If multiple Gleason Scores (GS) were included in a report, 77 (78%) would use the worst GS even if present in a core with very little tumour, 12% would use the global GS and 10% the GS in the core most involved by tumour. Fifty-five (55%) either never or rarely used perineural invasion for patient management.ConclusionsThe number of positive cores is an important parameter for patient management but may be difficult to determine in the laboratory due to core fragmentation so the biopsy taker must indicate the number of biopsies obtained. Multiple biopsies taken from a single site are often interpreted by clinicians as separate cores when determining the number of positive cores so pathologists should also report the number of sites positive. Clinicians have a non-uniform approach to the interpretation of multiple GS in prostate biopsy reports so we recommend that pathologists also include a single ‘bottom-line’ GS for each case to direct the clinician’s treatment decision.
