Abstract
Background and objective Patients diagnosed with grade group (GG) 1 prostate cancer (PCa) following treatment for benign disease ("incidental" PCa) are typically managed with active surveillance (AS). It is not known how their outcomes compare with those observed in patients diagnosed with GG1 on biopsy. We aimed at determining whether long-term oncologic outcomes of AS for patients with GG1 PCa differ according to the type of diagnosis: incidental versus biopsy detected. Methods A retrospective, multi-institutional analysis of PCa patients with GG1 on AS at eight institutions was conducted. Competing risk analyses estimated the incidence of metastases, PCa mortality, and conversion to treatment. As a secondary analysis, we estimated the risk of GG ≥2 on the first follow-up biopsy according to the type of initial diagnosis. Key findings and limitations A total of 213 versus 1900 patients with incidental versus biopsy-diagnosed GG1 were identified. Patients with incidental cancers were followed with repeated biopsies and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging less frequently than those diagnosed on biopsy. The 10-yr incidence of treatment was 22% for incidental cancers versus 53% for biopsy (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR] 0.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.26-0.46, p < 0.001). Distant metastases developed in one patient with incidental cancer versus 17 diagnosed on biopsy and were diagnosed with molecular imaging in 13 (72%) patients. The 10-yr incidence of metastases was 0.8% for patients with incidental PCa and 2% for those diagnosed on biopsy (sHR 0.35, 95% CI 0.05-2.54, p = 0.3). The risk of GG ≥2 on the first follow-up biopsy was low if the initial diagnosis was incidental (7% vs 22%, p < 0.001). Conclusions and clinical implications Patients with GG1 incidental PCa should be evaluated further to exclude aggressive disease, preferably with a biopsy. If no cancer is found on biopsy, then they should receive the same follow-up of a patient with a negative biopsy. Further research should confirm whether imaging and biopsies can be avoided if postoperative prostate-specific antigen is low (<1-2 ng/ml). Patient summary We compared the outcomes of patients with low-grade prostate cancer on active surveillance according to the type of their initial diagnosis. Patients who have low-grade cancer diagnosed on a procedure to relieve urinary symptoms (incidental prostate cancer) are followed less intensively and undergo curative-intended treatment less frequently. We also found that patients with incidental prostate cancer are more likely to have no cancer on their first follow-up biopsy than patients who have low-grade cancer initially diagnosed on a biopsy. These patients have a more favorable prognosis than their biopsy-detected counterparts and should be managed the same way as patients with negative biopsies if they undergo a subsequent biopsy that shows no cancer.

Prevalence and potential predictors of incidental prostate Cancer in patients undergoing surgery for Benign Prostatic obstruction: a retrospective study in the MRI era. World J Urol 2024; 42:485. [PMID: 39143371 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-024-05171-2] [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: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Despite advancements in prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and fusion biopsy (FB), the management of incidental prostate cancer (IPCa) after surgery for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) remains unclear. The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the prevalence of IPCa in our cohort and identify potential predictors for its occurrence. METHODS We enrolled patients underwent TURP or simple prostatectomy for BPO at our high-volume center between January 2020-December 2022. Data on age, pre-operative total PSA (tPSA) and PSA density (PSAd) levels, prostate volume, previous MRI, biopsies, specimen weight, rates of positive tissue slices, ISUP score and three-month tPSA were collected. RESULTS Of 454 patients with negative digital rectal examination who underwent BPO surgery, 74 patients (16.3%) were found to have IPCa. Of these, 33 patients (44.6%) had undergone previous mpMRI. Among the patients who had mpMRI, 23 had negative mpMRI results for suspected prostate cancer, while 10 had positive mpMRI findings (PIRADS ≥ 3) but no evidence of tumor upon FB. KW analysis indicates that PSAd was statistically associated with higher ISUP score, while at univariable regression analysis negative mpMRI (p = 0.03) was the only potential predictor for IPCa. CONCLUSIONS Among the ISUP groups, PSAd showed a correlation with the tumor, while negative mpMRI was protective against clinically significant PCa. In the era of mpMRI and FB, the IPCa rates found at our center is higher than reported in existing literature and if it were confirmed with further studies, maybe there is a need for expansion in urology guidelines.

Abstract
(1) Background: Following radical prostatectomy (RP), the absence of a demonstrable tumor on the specimen of a previously histologically proven malignancy is known as the pT0 stage. The aim of our present study is to perform a narrative review of current literature in order to determine the frequency and oncological outcomes in patients with pT0 disease. (2) Methods: A narrative review of all available literature was performed. (3) Results: The incidence of pT0 ranges between 0.07% and 1.3%. Predictors of the pT0 stage are only a single biopsy core with low-grade cancer, a cancer length not exceeding 2 mm and a high prostate volume. Biochemical recurrence ranges between 0 and 11%. (4) Conclusions: The absence of malignancy in the RP specimen despite a previous positive biopsy is a rare and unpredictable finding. Although the prognosis is considered to be excellent in most of the cases, a continued close follow-up is warranted.

The Predictive Role of Prostate-Specific Antigen Changes Following Transurethral Resection of the Prostate for Patients with Localized Prostate Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 13:cancers13010074. [PMID: 33383882 PMCID: PMC7796215 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13010074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 12/18/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary A part of localized prostate cancer (PC) was an incidental finding in patients who received transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for urinary symptoms. The present study examined whether changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after TURP possess a predictive value for localized PC. Our data revealed that patients at intermediate risk who are associated with tumor involvement ≤5% in TURP specimens, PSA_TURP ≤ 4 ng/mL, and ≥68% PSA reduction following TURP might be suitable for conservation management instead of immediate local therapy. Moreover, for patients with no pre-TURP PSA, Gleason score (GS) < 7, and low PSA_TURP could potentially be utilized to select which patients could be considered for conservative management after TURP. The findings suggest the pathologic finding of TURP and changes in PSA could be used as adjuvant markers to guide a risk-adaptive strategy for patients with localized PC. Abstract Regarding localized prostate cancer (PC), questions remain regarding which patients are appropriate candidates for conservative management. Some localized PC was an incidental finding in patients who received transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for urinary symptoms. It is known that TURP usually affects the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). In the present study, we examined whether changes in PSA levels after TURP possess a predictive value for localized PC. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 846 early-stage PC patients who underwent TURP for urinary symptoms upon diagnosis at our hospital. Of 846 patients, 687 had tumor involvement in TURP specimens, and 362 had post-TURP PSA assessment. Our data revealed that, in addition to low GS and PSA levels at diagnosis, ≤5% tumor involvement in TURP specimens, greater PSA reduction (≥68%) following TURP, and post-TURP PSA ≤ 4 were significantly associated with better progression-free survival (PFS). Survival analysis revealed that the addition of prostate-directed local therapy significantly improved PFS in intermediate- and high-risk groups, but not in the low-risk group. Moreover, in the intermediate-risk group, local therapy improved PFS only for patients who were associated with post-TURP PSA > 4 ng/mL or <68% PSA reduction following TURP. We also found that local therapy had no obvious improvement in PFS for those with post-TURP ≤ 4 ng/mL regardless of pre-TURP PSA. In conclusion, conservative management is considered for patients at low or intermediate risk who have greater PSA reduction following TURP and low post-TURP PSA. Therefore, the levels of PSA following TURP might be helpful for risk stratification and the selection of patients for conservative management.

Abstract
5–14% of patients underwent surgery for benign prostate hyperplasia harboring prostate cancer (PCa) focus. The best management of incidental prostate cancer (iPCa) has been debated. The decision “treatment or no treatment” should be determined by predictors which accurately foretell PCa progression after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The purpose of this study is to review the available data that can be useful in daily clinical judgment. Transrectal ultrasound prostate biopsy (TRUSBx) did not provide further Gleason score (GS) data in most patients diagnosed with iPCa. TRUSBX may be useful before active surveillance, but not in all following radical prostatectomy. The decision “treatment or no treatment” should be dependent on the expected chance of having residual cancer and clinical progression. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels before and after TURP are good predictors of residual cancer after TURP. Pathological report of T0 is most likely seen in patients with low PSA density after TURP and indistinguishable lesion on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. The decision “treatment vs no treatment” is judged by life expectancy, tumor characteristic in the pathology report of TURP sample and PSA level following TURP. Active surveillance should be contemplated in patients with iPCa who have both prostate-specific antigen density ≤0.08 after TURP and indistinguishable cancer lesion on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. Patients who do not meet the criteria for active surveillance are candidates for radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy (RT). Radical prostatectomy could be peacefully done after TURP with somewhat greater morbidity. RT in patients who had a history of TURP could be safely done and is associated with acceptable quality of life.

Clinical significance of multiparametric MRI and PSA density as predictors of residual tumor (pT0) following radical prostatectomy for T1a-T1b (incidental) prostate cancer. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0210037.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate predictors of residual tumor and clinical prognosis in T1a-T1b (incidental) prostate cancer by analysis of specimens from men undergoing surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of incidental prostate cancer patients who had undergone radical prostatectomy. Patients whose tumor statuses were further confirmed by prostate biopsy, or who had used androgen deprivation therapy before radical prostatectomy, were excluded. Clinical and pathological parameters were analyzed to evaluate residual tumor and clinical prognosis. We used univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, as well as receiver operator characteristics, to predict residual tumor (pT0). Results The final analysis included 95 patients. Among these patients, 67 (70.53%) exhibited residual tumor, whereas 28 (29.47%) did not (pT0). Pathology findings showed that 44 (65.67%), 16 (23.88%), and 7 patients (10.45%) exhibited Gleason scores of G6, G7, and ≥G8, respectively. Fifty-seven and 10 patients exhibited pathologic T stages T2 and T3, respectively. Mean follow-up duration was 70.26 (±34.67) months. Biochemical recurrence was observed in 11 patients; none were pT0 patients. Multivariate logistic regression showed that low prostate-specific antigen density after benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery and invisible lesion on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging were significantly associated with pT0. Additionally, a combination of these factors showed an increase in the diagnostic accuracy of pT0, compared with mpMRI alone (AUC 0.805, 0.767, respectively); this combination showed sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values of 71.6%, 89.3%, and 94.1%, respectively. Conclusion Our results suggest that patients with incidental prostate cancer who have both prostate-specific antigen density ≤0.08 after benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery as well as invisible cancer lesion on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging should be considered for active surveillance.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim was to compare prostate cancer and all-cause mortality in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) (incidental prostate cancer, IPC), to men diagnosed with localised non-incidental prostate cancer (NIPC). Patients and methods: Men diagnosed with localised prostate cancer between 2000 and 2008 were identified from the English national cancer registry. Their records were linked to the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) database of hospital admissions in England to identify men who had a TURP. Men were considered to have IPC if prostate cancer was diagnosed less than 60 days after TURP. Mortality rates were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Mortality rate ratios (RR) comparing IPC and NIPC were calculated with multivariable Poisson regression adjusting for age group, co-morbidities, year of diagnosis and radical treatment. Results: A total of 192,960 men were included. Of these, 6666 (3.5%) had IPC and 186,294 (96.5%) NIPC. Median follow-up was 4.7 years (0.5–11.0). Ten-year prostate cancer mortality was 17.1% in IPC, 19.0% in NIPC. With adjustment, the prostate cancer-specific mortality in IPC was 30% lower than NIPC (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.65–0.75, p<0.001), with no difference in all-cause mortality. Conclusion: Ten-year prostate cancer mortality in IPC was 17%. Men with IPC had lower prostate cancer-specific mortality than other prostate cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence, predictors and oncological outcomes of pT0 prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 20 222 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) for PCa at the Mayo Clinic between 1987 and 2012. Disease recurrence was defined as follow-up PSA >0.4 ng/mL or biopsy-proven local recurrence. Systemic progression was defined as development of metastatic disease on imaging. Comparisons of baseline characteristics between pT0 and non-pT0 groups were carried out using chi-squared tests. Recurrence-free survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS A total of 62 patients (0.3%) had pT0 disease according to the RP specimen. In univariable analysis, pT0 disease was significantly associated with older age (P = 0.045), lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA; P = 0.002), lower clinical stage (P < 0.001), lower biopsy Gleason score (P = 0.042), and receipt of preoperative transurethral resection, hormonal and radiation therapies (all P < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, lower PSA levels, lower Gleason score, and receipt of preoperative treatment were independently associated with pT0 (all P < 0.05). Seven patients (11%) with pT0 PCa developed disease recurrence over a median follow-up of 10.9 years. All seven patients had preoperative treatment(s) and three had recurrence with a PSA doubling time of <9 months. Compared with non-pT0 disease, pT0 disease was associated with longer recurrence-free survival (P < 0.05). Only one (1.6%) patient with pT0 disease developed systemic progression. CONCLUSIONS pT0 stage PCa is a rare phenomenon and is associated with receipt of preoperative treatment and features of low-risk PCa. Although pT0 has a very favourable prognosis, some men, especially those who received preoperative treatment, experience a small but non-negligible risk of disease recurrence and systemic progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of prostate cancer identified on holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) specimens and evaluate variables associated with prostate cancer identification. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients undergoing HoLEP between 1998 and 2013 were identified. Patients with a known history of prostate cancer were excluded. Multivariable logistic regression assessed variables associated with identification of prostate cancer on HoLEP specimens and Gleason 7 or higher prostate cancer among the malignant cases. The Gleason grade was used as a proxy for disease severity. Each of the models was adjusted for age, preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and HoLEP specimen weight. RESULTS The cohort comprised 1272 patients, of whom 103 (8.1%) had prostate cancer identified. Prostate cancer cases had higher pre-HoLEP PSA (p=0.06) but lower HoLEP specimen weight (p=0.01). On multivariate logistic regression, age and preoperative PSA were associated with increased odds of prostate cancer being present (p<0.01 each), while increasing HoLEP specimen weight was associated with decreased odds of prostate cancer (p<0.001). Men older than 80 had 20% predicted probability of being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Seventy-eight percent of prostate cancer cases were Gleason 6 or less. The pre-HoLEP PSA was associated with increased adjusted odds of intermediate- or high-grade prostate cancer. CONCLUSION Prostate cancer identified by HoLEP is not uncommon, but is generally a low-risk disease. Older patients with smaller prostate glands have the highest odds of prostate cancer identification.

Transurethral resection of the prostate for patients with Gleason score 6 prostate cancer and symptomatic prostatic enlargement: a risk-adaptive strategy for the era of active surveillance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether transurethral resection of the prostate can be used as both (i) treatment for symptomatic prostatic enlargement in patients with prostate cancer and (ii) a risk-adaptive strategy for reducing prostate-specific antigen levels and broadening the indications of active surveillance. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data of 3680 patients who underwent prostate biopsies at a single institution (March 2006 to January 2012). Of 529 men who had Gleason score 6 prostate cancer and were ineligible for active surveillance, 86 (16.3%) underwent transurethral resection of the prostate for symptomatic prostatic enlargement. We assessed how changes in prostate-specific antigen and prostate-specific antigen density influenced the eligibility for active surveillance and the outcome of subsequent therapy. The following active surveillance criteria were used: prostate-specific antigen ≤ 10 ng/ml, prostate-specific antigen density ≤ 0.15, positive cores ≤ 3 and single core involvement ≤ 50%. RESULTS The median age, pre-operative prostate-specific antigen and prostate volume were 71 years, 6.95 ng/ml, and 45.8 g, respectively. In 82.6% (71/86) of analyzed cases, ineligibility for active surveillance had resulted from elevated prostate-specific antigen level or prostate-specific antigen density. With a median resection of 16.5 g, transurethral resection of the prostate reduced the percentage of prostate-specific antigen and the percentage of prostate-specific antigen density by 34.5 and 50.0%, respectively, making 81.7% (58/71) of the patients eligible for active surveillance. Prostate-specific antigen level remained stabilized in all (21/21) patients maintained on active surveillance without disease progression during the median follow-up of 50.6 months. Among patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, 96.7% (29/30) exhibited localized disease. CONCLUSIONS Risk-adaptive transurethral resection of the prostate may prevent overtreatment and allay prostate-specific antigen-associated anxiety in patients with biopsy-proven low-grade prostate cancer and elevated prostate-specific antigen. Additional benefits include voiding symptom improvement and the avoidance of curative therapy's immediate side effects.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to eliminate, by DNA comparison, any identity mismatch between operative and biopsy specimens and to analyse the determinants of all pT0 prostate cancers occurred in a single institution. METHODS All prostate pT0 cases in a single institution over 20 years were investigated. None of the patients had been diagnosed after a transurethral resection of the prostate nor had they received neoadjuvant hormonal treatment. The biopsies performed in other centres had been referred for a centralized pathologic re-analysis. DNA analysis was performed in samples from operative and biopsy specimens, and pairs of tissues were blindly constituted. Correct matching was verified in each pair and compared to the original database in order to comment on the occurrence of identity mismatches in the series. RESULTS Nineteen patients (0.77 %) had been diagnosed as having pT0 prostate cancer among the 2,462 RP procedures performed over 19 years. The biopsy re-analysis invalidated the initial diagnosis of prostate cancer in one biopsy set performed elsewhere. Among 12 entirely processed cases, the biochemistry procedure evaluated as "very unlikely" the occurrence of an error in tissue identification in the biopsy setting, during the surgical procedure or the pathological analysis. No identification error of tissue samples was established in this first verified pT0 series. CONCLUSIONS Although it must be suspected, specimen identification error was not a cause for pT0 prostate cancer. Only after a full pathological and DNA verification, the pT0 stage remains a sole entity, unexplained in most cases.

Abstract
PURPOSE These are the clinical experiences of Korean incidental prostate cancer patients detected by transurethral resection of the prostate according to initial treatment: active surveillance (AS), radical prostatectomy (RP) and hormone therapy (HT). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 156 incidental prostate cancer patients between 2001 and 2012. The clinicopathologic outcomes were reviewed and follow-up results were obtained. RESULTS Among 156 patients, 97 (62.2%) had T1a and 59 (37.8%) had T1b. Forty-six (29.5%) received AS, 67 (42.9%) underwent RP, 34 (21.8%) received HT, 4 (2.6%) received radiotherapy, and 5 (3.2%) chose watchful waiting. Of 46 patients on AS, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression occurred in 12 (26.1%) patients. Among them, 3 patients refused treatment despite PSA progression. Five patients, who underwent RP as an intervention, all had organ-confined Gleason score ≤6 disease. In 67 patients who underwent RP, 50 (74.6%) patients had insignificant prostate cancer and 8 (11.9%) patients showed unfavorable features. During follow-up, biochemical recurrence occurred in 2 patients. Among 34 patients who received HT, 3 (8.8%) patients had PSA progression. Among 156 patients, 6 patients died due to other causes during follow-up. There were no patients who died due to prostate cancer. CONCLUSION The clinical outcomes of incidental prostate cancer were satisfactory regardless of the initial treatment. However, according to recent researches and guidelines, immediate definite therapy should be avoided without a careful assessment. We also believe that improved clinical staging is needed for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the rationale for RTUR-PCa against pT1a/b cancer, we analyzed oncological and functional outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-six patients with incidental prostate cancer were included and the age ranged from 66 to 91 years (mean, 76.6; median, 75.0). Preoperative prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels were between 0.70 and 44.1 ng/mL (mean, 5.90; median, 4.60). We performed 69 RTUR-PCa's by resecting and fulgurating the residual prostate tissues after previous transurethral resection of the prostate. Prostate specific antigen nonrecurrence rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Follow-up duration of 51 patients was mean ± SD 64.1 ± 21.6 months (median, 67.8 months; range, 13.8-99.8) excluding 5 patients that were lost to follow-up. Prostate specific antigen failure developed in 3 patients (5.9%). In the other 48 patients, PSA stabilized as follows: PSA ≤ 0.01, 24 cases; ≤ 0.02, 5 cases; ≤ 0.03, 6 cases; ≤ 0.04, 3 cases; ≤ 0.1, 7 cases; and ≤ 0.4, 3 cases. Prostate specific antigen nonrecurrence rates were 100% for pT2a and 91.3% for pT2b at the mean follow-up period of 64.1 months. Nonrecurrence rate grouped by D'Amico classification system were 100% in the low-risk group, 94.7% in the intermediate-risk group, and 88.2% in the high-risk group, respectively. Water intoxication did not develop and no patients required transfusion. Bladder neck contracture, which developed in 22 out of 51 patients (43.1%), was the most frequent postoperative complication. Postoperative incontinence was temporary and disappeared within 3 months in all patients. CONCLUSION Satisfactory oncologic and functional results suggest that RTUR-PCa could be a promising option for radical treatment against incidental prostate cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A little deeper resection was done during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) to fill the disparities of reported prevalence rates between latent and incidental prostate cancer, as well as in order not to overlook clinically significant incidental cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed TURP in 995 patients who were diagnosed to have BPH. With a routine TUR setup, first most of the transition and central zones were resected. Then a slightly deeper resection of the residual adenoma and the peripheral zone than in the usual TURP was made. Pathological specimens were collected from 6 different parts. RESULTS Incidental cancer was diagnosed in 226 patients (22.7%). Gleason scores were distributed as follows: 6 or less in 150 cases (66.4%), 7 in 68 cases (30.1%), and 8 in 8 cases (3.5%). Even in the patients with lower prostate specific antigen (PSA), patients with incidental cancer and Gleason scores of 7 or more were 142 (21.2%) and 41 (28.9%) respectively at 0 < PSA < 4.0 ng/ml, and 95 (18.7%) and 26 (27.4%) respectively at 0 < PSA < 2.5 ng/ml. Multifocal/diffuse cancer was detected in 84 (37.2%) patients. CONCLUSIONS With our method of advanced TURP, we detected incidental cancer at almost the same rate as reported in latent cancer. When TURP is performed, incidental cancer as well as to relieve voiding difficulties must not be overlooked, because there must be a considerable number of clinically significant incidental cancer of higher Gleason scores, and of multifocal/diffuse lesions.
