Kim M, Kim SH, Hong S, Kim YJ, Kim HR, Kim JY. Evaluation of Extra-Prostatic Extension on Deep Learning-Reconstructed High-Resolution Thin-Slice T2-Weighted Images in Patients with Prostate Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:413. [PMID: 38254901 PMCID: PMC10814256 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16020413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic performance for extra-prostatic extension (EPE) and image quality among three image datasets: conventional T2-weighted images (T2WIconv, slice thickness, 3 mm) and high-resolution thin-slice T2WI (T2WIHR, 2 mm), with and without deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in patients with prostatic cancer (PCa). A total of 88 consecutive patients (28 EPE-positive and 60 negative) diagnosed with PCa via radical prostatectomy who had undergone 3T-MRI were included. Two independent reviewers performed a crossover review in three sessions, in which each reviewer recorded five-point confidence scores for the presence of EPE and image quality using a five-point Likert scale. Pathologic topographic maps served as the reference standard. For both reviewers, T2WIconv showed better diagnostic performance than T2WIHR with and without DLR (AUCs, in order, for reviewer 1, 0.883, 0.806, and 0.772, p = 0.0006; for reviewer 2, 0.803, 0.762, and 0.745, p = 0.022). The image quality was also the best in T2WIconv, followed by T2WIHR with DLR and T2WIHR without DLR for both reviewers (median, in order, 3, 4, and 5, p < 0.0001). In conclusion, T2WIconv was optimal in regard to image quality and diagnostic performance for the evaluation of EPE in patients with PCa.

Role of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging on the surgical outcomes of radical prostatectomy: Does preoperative tumor recognition reduce the positive surgical margin in a specific location? Experience from a Thailand prostate cancer specialized center. Asian J Urol 2023; 10:494-501. [PMID: 38024440 PMCID: PMC10659968 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajur.2022.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the standard of care for the diagnosis of prostate cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of preoperative MRI on the positive surgical margin (PSM) rates. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 1070 prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) at Siriraj Hospital between January 2013 and September 2019. PSM rates were compared between those with and without preoperative MRI. PSM locations were analyzed. Results In total, 322 (30.1%) patients underwent MRI before RP. PSM most frequently occurred at the apex (33.2%), followed by posterior (13.5%), bladder neck (12.7%), anterior (10.7%), posterolateral (9.9%), and lateral (2.3%) positions. In preoperative MRI, PSM was significantly lowered at the posterior surface (9.0% vs. 15.4%, p=0.01) and in the subgroup of urologists with less than 100 RP experiences (32% vs. 51%, odds ratio=0.51, p<0.05). Blood loss was also significantly decreased when a preoperative image was obtained (200 mL vs. 250 mL, p=0.02). Multivariate analysis revealed that only preoperative MRI status was associated with overall PSM and PSM at the prostatic apex. Neither the surgical approach, the neurovascular bundle sparing technique, nor the perioperative blood loss was associated with PSM. Conclusion MRI is associated with less overall PSM, PSM at apex, and blood loss during RP. Additionally, preoperative MRI has shown promise in lowering the PSM rate among urologists who are in the early stages of performing RP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preserving the cavernous nerves, the main autonomic nerve supply of the penis, is a major challenge of radical prostatectomy. Cavernous nerve injury during radical prostatectomy predominantly accounts for post-radical prostatectomy erectile dysfunction. The cavernous nerve is a bilateral structure that branches in a weblike distribution over the prostate surface and varies anatomically in individuals, such that standard nerve-sparing methods do not sufficiently sustain penile erection ability. As a consequence, researchers have focused on developing personalized cavernous nerve mapping methods applied to the surgical procedure aiming to improve postoperative sexual function outcomes. OBJECTIVES We provide an updated overview of preclinical and clinical data of cavernous nerve mapping methods, emphasizing their strengths, limitations, and future directions. METHODS A literature review was performed via Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar for studies that describe cavernous nerve mapping/localization. RESULTS Several cavernous nerve mapping methods have been investigated based on various properties of the nerve structures including stimulation techniques, spectroscopy/imaging techniques, and assorted combinations of these methods. More recent methods have portrayed the course of the main cavernous nerve as well as its branches based on real-time mapping, high-resolution imaging, and functional imaging. However, each of these methods has distinctive limitations, including low spatial accuracy, lack of standardization for stimulation and response measurement, superficial imaging depth, toxicity risk, and lack of suitability for intraoperative use. CONCLUSION While various cavernous nerve mapping methods have provided improvements in identification and preservation of the cavernous nerve during radical prostatectomy, no method has been implemented in clinical practice due to their distinctive limitations. To overcome the limitations of existing cavernous nerve mapping methods, the development of new imaging techniques and mapping methods is in progress. There is a need for further research in this area to improve sexual function outcomes and quality of life after radical prostatectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radiation damage on neurovascular bundles (NVBs) may be the cause of sexual dysfunction after radiotherapy for prostate cancer. However, it is challenging to delineate NVBs as organ-at-risks from planning CTs during radiotherapy. Recently, the integration of MR into radiotherapy made NVBs contour delineating possible. In this study, we aim to develop an MRI-based deep learning method for automatic NVB segmentation. METHODS The proposed method, named topological modulated network, consists of three subnetworks, that is, a focal modulation, a hierarchical block and a topological fully convolutional network (FCN). The focal modulation is used to derive the location and bounds of left and right NVBs', namely the candidate volume-of-interests (VOIs). The hierarchical block aims to highlight the NVB boundaries information on derived feature map. The topological FCN then segments the NVBs inside the VOIs by considering the topological consistency nature of the vascular delineating. Based on the location information of candidate VOIs, the segmentations of NVBs can then be brought back to the input MRI's coordinate system. RESULTS A five-fold cross-validation study was performed on 60 patient cases to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The segmented results were compared with manual contours. The Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and 95th percentile Hausdorff distance (HD95 ) are (left NVB) 0.81 ± 0.10, 1.49 ± 0.88 mm, and (right NVB) 0.80 ± 0.15, 1.54 ± 1.22 mm, respectively. CONCLUSION We proposed a novel deep learning-based segmentation method for NVBs on pelvic MR images. The good segmentation agreement of our method with the manually drawn ground truth contours supports the feasibility of the proposed method, which can be potentially used to spare NVBs during proton and photon radiotherapy and thereby improve the quality of life for prostate cancer patients.

Preoperative Multiparametric Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging Structured Report Informs Risk for Positive Apical Surgical Margins During Radical Prostatectomy. J Comput Assist Tomogr 2023; 47:38-44.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prostatic apex is the most frequent location of positive surgical margin (PSM) after surgery. Data regarding the ability of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to prospectively identify men at risk for apical PSMs (aPSMs) using a structured report are lacking. OBJECTIVES The aims of the study are to determine and to compare the rate of aPSM in men with versus without prospectively flagged at-risk prostate lesions during clinical mpMRI interpretation using whole-mount histopathology as the reference standard. METHODS This single-center, retrospective study of prospectively collected data included treatment-naive men with abnormal 3T mpMRI (PI-RADS v2 score ≥3) between January 2016 and December 2018 followed by surgery. During routine clinical interpretation, radiologists flagged prostate lesions abutting the apical most gland and/or encircling the distal most prostatic urethra using standardized language available as a "pick list" option in the structured report. Logistic regression was used to compare the rate of PSM in 2 groups (flagged vs nonflagged men). Propensity score covariate adjustment corrected for potential selection bias according to age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), PSA density, grade group, and pT stage. The estimate was further adjusted by including surgeon as a covariate. RESULTS A total of 428 men were included. A statistically significant higher proportion of aPSMs was noted in flagged (56% [51/91]) compared with nonflagged apical lesions (31% [105/337]; adjusted odds ratio, 2.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.6-4.1; P < 0.01). The difference in aPSM between both groups also varied according to the surgeon performing the RP. Prostate-specific antigen, PSA density, lesion size, apical location, Prostate Imaging Reporting & Data System score, grade group, pT stage, and surgeon's experience were associated with higher PSM rate. Biochemical recurrence, defined as PSA greater than 0.2 ng/mL on 2 measurements after RP, was significantly associated with PSM status (propensity score adjusted odds ratio, 3.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.8-5.3; P < 0.0001); however, patients flagged by radiologists did not have a significant difference in biochemical recurrence rates as compared with nonflagged patients ( P = 0.11). CONCLUSIONS Standard language built into structured reports for mpMRI of the prostate helps identify preoperatively patients at risk for aPSM. CLINICAL IMPACT Multiparametric MRI is able to identify patients at increased risk for aPSM, and this information can be conveyed in a structured report to urologists, facilitating patient counseling and treatment decisions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative urinary incontinence recovery following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is an important outcome. We investigated whether factors that affect urinary incontinence can predict the duration of postoperative incontinence recovery. METHODS A total of 310 patients underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. Continence recovery was defined as either pad-free or a safety pad only status. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on clinical variables to identify those that were associated with continence recovery. A scoring system to predict recovered continence was constructed using statistically significant variables. The validity of this tool was tested in a new cohort of 273 patients. RESULTS Factors associated with recovery of urinary incontinence were membranous urethral length, preservation of bilateral neurovascular bundles, and a preoperative Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score of ≥3 in the apex. Age was related only to incontinence recovery at 1 month. To prepare the score, weighting was performed using the estimated values. Using the developed scoring system, participants in the verification set were divided into three groups. The early recovery group had a median incontinence recovery of 4 (4-12) weeks, the medium recovery group, 12 (4-24) weeks, and the late recovery group, 24 (24-48) weeks, which was a significant difference (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The applied scoring system based on preoperative factors related to incontinence and derived from patient groups was significantly associated with continence recovery time. In patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, our unit-weighted regression model of clinical variables can predict the duration of continence recovery.

Abstract
Background Advancements in imaging technology have been associated with changes to operative planning in treatment of localized prostate cancer. The impact of these changes on postoperative outcomes is understudied. Objective To compare oncologic and functional outcomes between men who had computed tomography (CT) and those who had multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) prior to undergoing radical prostatectomy. Design setting and participants In this retrospective cohort study, we identified all men who underwent radical prostatectomy (n = 1259) for localized prostate cancer at our institution between 2009 and 2016. Of these, 917 underwent preoperative CT and 342 mpMRI. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis Biochemical recurrence-free survival, positive margin status, postoperative complications, and 1-yr postprostatectomy functional scores (using the 26-item Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite [EPIC-26] questionnaire) were compared between those who underwent preoperative CT and those who underwent mpMRI using propensity score weighted Cox proportional hazard regression, logistic regression, and linear regression models. Results and limitations Baseline and 1-yr follow-up EPIC-26 data were available for 449 (36%) and 685 (54%) patients, respectively. After propensity score weighting, no differences in EPIC-26 functional domains were observed between the imaging groups at 1-yr follow-up. Positive surgical margin rates (odds ratio 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77-1.38, p = 0.8) and biochemical recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio 1.21, 95% CI 0.84-1.74, p = 0.3) were not significantly different between groups. Early and late postoperative complications occurred in 219 and 113 cases, respectively, and were not different between imaging groups. Our study is limited by a potential selection bias from the lack of functional scores for some patients. Conclusions In this single-center study of men with localized prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy, preoperative mpMRI had minimal impact on functional outcomes and oncologic control compared with conventional imaging. These findings challenge the assumptions that preoperative mpMRI improves operative planning and perioperative outcomes. Patient summary In this study, we assessed whether the type of prostate imaging performed prior to surgery for localized prostate cancer impacted outcomes. We found that urinary and sexual function, cancer control, and postoperative complications were similar regardless of whether magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography was utilized prior to surgery.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the clinical indications of using the nerve-sparing technique in radical prostatectomy. Patients and methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathological data of 101 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) at our institution. Twenty-five patients underwent open surgery, and 76 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. The biochemical recurrence (BCR) rate was analyzed by the method of Kaplan–Meier. The distance between the ipsilateral neurovascular bundles (NVBs) and foci of prostate tumor (N-T distance) was measured in postoperative specimens. We defined the N-T distance >2 mm as the threshold to perform nerve-sparing (NS) in RP. Through logistic regression analysis, we determined the preoperative clinical indications for the nerve-sparing technique in RP. Results The average BCR-free survival time was 53.2 months in these 101 patients with RP, with the 3- and 5-year BCR-free rates being 87.9% and 85.8%, respectively. The N-T distance was measured in 184 prostate sides from postoperative specimens of 101 patients. Univariate analysis showed that the percent of side-specific biopsy cores with cancer (≥1/3), maximum tumor length in biopsy core (≥5 mm), average percent involvement of each positive core (≥50%), PI-RADS score, and prostate MP-MRI imaging (extra-capsular extension) were associated with the N-T distance (p < 0.003). Furthermore, the percent of side-specific biopsy cores with cancer (≥1/3) (OR = 4.11, p = 0.0047) and prostate MP-MRI imaging (extra-capsular extension) (OR = 3.92, p = 0.0061) were found to be statistically significant independent predictors of the N-T distance in multivariate analysis. Conclusions The clinical indications of nerve-sparing RP were <1/3 side-specific biopsy cores with cancer and no extra-capsular extension by prostate MP-MRI examination.

Abstract
Prostate MRI is increasingly being used to make diagnoses and guide management for patients receiving definitive radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Radiologists should be familiar with the potential uses of prostate MRI in radiation therapy planning and delivery. Radiation therapy is an established option for the definitive treatment of localized prostate cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an external-beam radiation therapy method used to deliver a high dose of radiation to an extracranial target in the body, often in five or fewer fractions. SBRT is increasingly being used for prostate cancer treatment and has been recognized by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network as an acceptable definitive treatment regimen for low-, intermediate-, and high-risk prostate cancer. MRI is commonly used to aid in prostate radiation therapy. The authors review the uses of prostate MRI in SBRT treatment planning and delivery. Specific topics discussed include the use of prostate MRI for identification of and dose reduction to the membranous and prostatic urethra, which can decrease the risk of acute and late toxicities. MRI is also useful for identification and appropriate dose coverage of the prostate apex and areas of extraprostatic extension or seminal vesicle invasion. In prospective studies, prostate MRI is being validated for identification of and dose intensification to dominant intraprostatic lesions, which potentially can improve oncologic outcomes. It also can be used to evaluate the placement of fiducial markers and hydrogel spacers for radiation therapy planning and delivery. ©RSNA, 2022.

Abstract
The soft-tissue imaging capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with high precision robotics has the potential to improve the precision and safety of a wide range of image-guided medical procedures. However, functional MRI-compatible robotics have not yet been realized in part because conventional electromagnetic servomotors can become dangerous projectiles near the strong magnetic field of an MRI scanner. Here we report an electromagnetic servomotor constructed from non-magnetic components, where high-torque and controlled rotary actuation is produced via interaction between electrical current in the servomotor armature and the magnetic field generated by the superconducting magnet of the MRI scanner itself. Using this servomotor design, we then build and test an MRI-compatible robot which can achieve the linear forces required to insert a large-diameter biopsy instrument in tissue during simultaneous MRI. Our electromagnetic servomotor can be safely operated (while imaging) in the patient area of a 3 Tesla clinical MRI scanner.

Pilot study of the diagnostic utility of 89 Zr-df-IAB2M and 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging and multiparametric MRI in localized prostate cancer. Prostate 2022; 82:483-492. [PMID: 34985786 DOI: 10.1002/pros.24294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of localized prostate cancer (PCa) is limited by inadequacy of multiparametric (mp) MRI to fully identify and differentiate localized malignant tissue from benign pathologies. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) represents an excellent target for molecular imaging. IAB2M, an 85-kD minibody derived from a de-immunized monoclonal antibody directed at the extracellular domain of human PSMA (huJ591), and PSMA-11, a small molecule ligand have been previously tested as probes for visualization of recurrent/metastatic PCa with PET/CT. This pilot, non-randomized trial studied their diagnostic utility in patients (pts) with localized PCa. METHODS Pts planned for radical prostatectomy (RP) were enrolled and underwent mpMRI and PET/CT imaging with 89 Zr-df-IAB2M and/or 68 Ga-PSMA-PET/CT. Image results were read by a radiologist blinded to clinical information and pathology results, mapped and compared to corresponding histopathology findings from all lesions, both clinically significant and nonsignificant. The detection rates of all three imaging modalities were measured and correlated. RESULTS 20 pts with median age of 64.5 (46-79) years and PSA level of 7.5 (1.6-36.56) ng/ml were enrolled. 19 pts underwent RP and were imaged pre-operatively with 89 Zr-Df-IAB2M PET/CT and mpMRI. Nine of those were imaged using 68 Ga-PSMA-11 as well. Out of 48 intraprostatic lesions verified on surgical pathology, IAB2M PET/CT was able to detect 36 (75%). A similar proportion of pathologically confirmed, clinically significant lesions (22/29, 76%) was detected. IAB2M PET/CT was also able to identify 14/19 (74%) extraprostatic lesions. The performance of mpMRI was inferior, with 24/48 detectable lesions (50%) and 18/29 clinically significant intraprostatic lesions (62%). Compared to the current standard (mpMRI), IAB2M PET/CT had a sensitivity of 88%, specificity 38%, positive predictive value 58%, and accuracy 63%. In 9 pts who underwent Ga-PSMA-11 as well, the latter yielded a detection rate of 70% (14/20), which was also seen in clinically significant lesions (10/14, 71%). Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT also detected 4/6 (67%) extraprostatic lesions. CONCLUSIONS In this pilot study, the performance of 89 Zr-df-IAB2M was superior to mpMRI and similar to 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. The higher detection rate of PSMA-PET supports its use as a diagnostic tool with consequent management change implications in men with localized PCa.

Abstract
Context Robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has become the standard surgical procedure for localized prostate‐cancer (PCa). Nerve‐sparing surgery (NSS) during RARP has been associated with improved erectile function and continence rates after surgery. However, it remains unclear what are the most appropriate indications for NSS. Objective The objective of this study is to systematically review the available parameters for selection of patients for NSS. The weight of different clinical variables, multiparametric magnetic‐resonance‐imaging (mpMRI) findings, and the impact of multiparametric‐nomograms in the decision‐making process on (side‐specific) NSS were assessed. Evidence acquisition This systematic review searched relevant databases and included studies performed from January 2000 until December 2020 and recruited a total of 15 840 PCa patients. Studies were assessed that defined criteria for (side‐specific) NSS and associated them with oncological safety and/or functional outcomes. Risk of bias assessment was performed. Evidence synthesis Nineteen articles were eligible for full‐text review. NSS is primarily recommended in men with adequate erectile function, and with low‐risk of extracapsular extension (ECE) on the side‐of NSS. Separate clinical and radiological variables have low accuracy for predicting ECE, whereas nomograms optimize the risk‐stratification and decision‐making process to perform or to refrain from NSS when oncological safety (organ‐confined disease, PSM rates) and functional outcomes (erectile function and continence rates) were assessed. Conclusions Consensus exists that patients who are at high risk of ECE should refrain from NSS. Several multiparametric preoperative nomograms were developed to predict ECE with increased accuracy compared with single clinical, pathological, or radiological variables, but controversy exists on risk thresholds and decision rules on a conservative versus a less‐conservative surgical approach. An individual clinical judgment on the possibilities of NSS set against the risks of ECE is warranted. Patient summary NSS is aimed at sparing the nerves responsible for erection. NSS may lead to unfavorable tumor control if the risk of capsule penetration is high. Nomograms predicting extraprostatic tumor‐growth are probably most helpful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) can guide the surgical plan during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), and intraoperative frozen section (IFS) can facilitate real-time surgical margin assessment. OBJECTIVE To assess a novel technique of IFS targeted to the index lesion by using augmented reality three-dimensional (AR-3D) models in patients scheduled for nerve-sparing RARP (NS-RARP). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Between March 2019 and July 2019, 20 consecutive prostate cancer patients underwent NS-RARP with IFS directed to the index lesion with the help of AR-3D models (study group). Control group consists of 20 patients matched with 1:1 propensity score for age, clinical stage, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score v2, International Society of Urological Pathology grade, prostate volume, NS approach, and prostate-specific antigen in which RARP was performed by cognitive assessment of mpMRI. SURGICAL PROCEDURE In the study group, an AR-3D model was superimposed to the surgical field to guide the surgical dissection. Tissue sampling for IFS was taken in the area in which the index lesion was projected by AR-3D guidance. MEASUREMENTS Chi-square test, Student t test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare, respectively, proportions, means, and medians between the two groups. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Patients in the AR-3D group had comparable preoperative characteristics and those undergoing the NS approach were referred to as the control group (all p ≥ 0.06). Overall, positive surgical margin (PSM) rates were comparable between the two groups; PSMs at the level of the index lesion were significantly lower in patients referred to AR-3D guided IFS to the index lesion (5%) than those in the control group (20%; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The novel technique of AR-3D guidance for IFS analysis may allow for reducing PSMs at the level of the index lesion. PATIENT SUMMARY Augmented reality three-dimensional guidance for intraoperative frozen section analysis during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy facilitates the real-time assessment of surgical margins and may reduce positive surgical margins at the index lesion.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in man. Since the first MRI was performed, enormous progress has been made in diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of PCa, mainly due to multiparametric prostatic MRI (mpMRI). Although mpMRI has become the best imaging tool for identifying PCa, some limitations still exist. Prostate imaging with mpMRI is, to date, the best way to locate suspicious lesions to trigger prostate biopsy, plan active surveillance, or definitive treatment. In case of relapse, mpMRI can help detect local disease and provide specific management. It is well known that there is a subset of patients in whom mpMRI fails to depict csPCa. These missed significant cancers demand great attention. Prostate mpMRI quality depends on several factors related to equipment (including equipment vendor, magnet field and gradient strength, coil set used, software and hardware levels, sequence parameter choices), patient (medications, body habitus, motion, metal implants, rectal gas), and most importantly the radiologic interpretation of images (learning curve effects, subjectivity of observations, interobserver variations, and reporting styles). Inter-reader variability represents a huge current limitation of this method. Therefore, mpMRI remains the best imaging tool available to detect PCa, guiding diagnosis, treatment, and follow up while inter-reader variability represents the best limitation. Radiomics can help identifying imaging biomarkers to help radiologist in detecting significant PCa, reducing examination times, and costs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate 3 Tesla multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)-based predictors for the pretherapeutic T staging of prostate cancer and their accuracy. METHODS Consecutive patients with 3 Tesla mpMRI, positive systematic and MR-targeted biopsy, and subsequent radical prostatectomy (RPE) between 01/2016 and 12/2017 were included. MRI parameters such as measurable extraprostatic extension (EPE) (≥ 3 mm), length of (pseudo)capsular contact (LCC), invasion of neurovascular bundle (NVBI), and/or seminal vesicles lesion contact (SVC) or infiltration (SVI) were assessed and correlated to clinical and histopathological results. RESULTS 136 men were included. In 76 cases, a pT2 stage was determined, in 29 cases a pT3a, and in 31 a pT3b stage. The positive and negative predictive values (PPV, NPV) for the detection of T3 by measurable EPE on MRI was 98% (CI 0.88-1) and 81% (CI 0.72-0.87). No visible NVBI was found in pT2 patients (NPV 100%; CI 0.95-1). ROC analysis for T3a prediction with LCC (AUC 0.81) showed a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 62% at a threshold of 12.5 mm (J = 0.485) and 93% and 58% at 11 mm (Jmax = 0.512). All patients with pT3a had a LCC > 5 mm. In case of pT3b, 29/31 patients showed a SVC (PPV 76%, CI 0.61-0.87; NPV 98%, CI 0.93-0.99), and 23/31 patients showed a SVI (PPV 100%, CI 0.86-1; NPV 93%, CI 0.87-0.96). EPE (p < 0.01), LCC (p = 0.05), and SVC (p = 0.01) were independent predictors of pT3. CONCLUSIONS MRI-measurable EPE, LCC, and SVC were reliable, independent, preoperative predictors for a histopathological T3 stage. A LCC ≥ 11 mm indicated a pT3a stage, whereas a LCC < 5 mm excluded it. On MRI, visible SVI or even SVC of the PCa lesion was reliable preoperative predictors for a pT3b stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop an international, multi-site nomogram for side-specific prediction of extraprostatic extension (EPE) of prostate cancer based on clinical, biopsy, and magnetic resonance imaging- (MRI) derived data. METHODS Ten institutions from the USA and Europe contributed clinical and side-specific biopsy and MRI variables of consecutive patients who underwent prostatectomy. A logistic regression model was used to develop a nomogram for predicting side-specific EPE on prostatectomy specimens. The performance of the statistical model was evaluated by bootstrap resampling and cross validation and compared with the performance of benchmark models that do not incorporate MRI findings. RESULTS Data from 840 patients were analyzed; pathologic EPE was found in 320/840 (31.8%). The nomogram model included patient age, prostate-specific antigen density, side-specific biopsy data (i.e., Gleason grade group, percent positive cores, tumor extent), and side-specific MRI features (i.e., presence of a PI-RADSv2 4 or 5 lesion, level of suspicion for EPE, length of capsular contact). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the new, MRI-inclusive model (0.828, 95% confidence limits: 0.805, 0.852) was significantly higher than that of any of the benchmark models (p < 0.001 for all). CONCLUSIONS In an international, multi-site study, we developed an MRI-inclusive nomogram for the side-specific prediction of EPE of prostate cancer that demonstrated significantly greater accuracy than clinical benchmark models.

The diagnostic accuracy of multiparametric MRI for detection and localization of prostate cancer depends on the affected region. BJUI COMPASS 2021; 2:178-187. [PMID: 35475134 PMCID: PMC8988780 DOI: 10.1002/bco2.62] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2020] [Revised: 10/19/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To determine the diagnostic accuracy of 3T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for detecting and locating prostate cancer (PCa) on Dickinson's 27‐sector map, using histopathology specimens from radical prostatectomy (RP) as the reference standard. Patients and methods The authors studied a continuous series of 140 patients who underwent RP over three consecutive years. Prior to RP, all patients had mpMRI for detection and localization of PCa and further assessment by biopsy. To minimize the potential of disease progression, 25 patients were excluded because the interval between mpMRI and RP exceeded 6 months, which left 115 patients eligible for analysis. The mpMRI findings were reported using the Prostate Imaging‐Reporting and Data System (PI‐RADS) v2, considering PI‐RADS ≥ 3 to indicate PCa. The histopathology findings from RP specimens were graded using the Gleason scoring system, considering Gleason ≥ 6 to indicate PCa. The location of the tumors was mapped on Dickinson's 27‐sector map for both mpMRI and histopathology and compared by rigid sector‐by‐sector matching. Results The cohort of 115 patients eligible for analysis was aged 66.5 ± 6.0 years at RP. Of the 3105 sectors analyzed, there were 412 true positives (13%), 28 false positives (1%), 68 false negatives (2%), and 2597 true negatives (84%). Across the 27 sectors of the prostate, mpMRI sensitivity ranged from 50% to 100% and specificity from 96% to 100%, while PPV ranged from 50% to 100%, and NPV from 91% to 100%. For the anterior prostate, mpMRI had a sensitivity of 80% (CI, 71%‐86%), specificity of 99% (CI, 99%‐100%), PPV of 91% (CI, 83%‐95%), and NPV of 99% (CI, 98%‐99%). For the posterior prostate, mpMRI had a sensitivity of 88% (CI, 84%‐91%), specificity of 98% (CI, 97%‐99%), PPV of 94% (CI, 92%‐96%), and NPV of 96% (CI, 94%‐97%). Overall, mpMRI had a sensitivity of 86%, specificity of 99%, PPV of 94%, and NPV of 97%. Conclusions The accuracy of mpMRI in detecting and locating prostate tumors depends on the affected region, but its high NPV across all sectors suggests that negative findings may not need corroboration by other techniques.

Abstract
Objectives To externally validate the extraprostatic extension (EPE) grade criteria on MRI and analyze the incremental value of EPE grade to clinical models of prostate cancer. Methods A consecutive 130 patients who underwent preoperative prostate MRI followed by radical prostatectomy between January 2015 to January 2020 in our institution were retrospectively enrolled. The EPE grade, Cancer of the Prostate Risk Assessment (CAPRA), and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center nomogram (MSKCCn) score for each patient were assigned. Significant clinicopathological factors in univariate and multivariate analyses were combined with EPE grade to build the Clinical + EPE grade model, and the CAPRA and MSKCCn score were also combined with EPE grade to build the CAPRA + EPE grade and MSKCCn + EPE grade model, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of these models were calculated to evaluate their diagnostic performance. Calibration and decision curve analyses were used to analyze their calibration performance and clinical utility. Results The AUC for predicting EPE was 0.767–0.778 for EPE grade, 0.704 for CAPRA, and 0.723 for MSKCCn. After combination with EPE grade, the AUCs of these clinical models increased significantly than using clinical models along (P < 0.05), but was comparable with using EPE grade alone (P > 0.05). The calibration curves of EPE grade, clinical models and combined models showed that these models are well-calibrated for EPE. In the decision curve analysis, EPE grade showed slightly higher net benefit than MSKCCn and CAPRA. Conclusion The EPE grade showed good performance for evaluating EPE in our cohort and possessed well clinical utility. Further combinations with the EPE grade could improve the diagnostic performance of clinical models.

Abstract
CONTEXT Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common solid organ malignancy in men and is the third leading cause of cancer death. Accurate methods for the detection and staging of PCa are necessary to determine the extent of disease and inform treatment options. OBJECTIVE To review the performance and diagnostic accuracy of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in the initial staging of PCa and evaluate its impact on definitive therapy planning. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed. References from retrieved articles and recommendations from the authors were also included. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS PSMA PET has moderately high sensitivity and specificity for detecting intraprostatic tumors and moderately high sensitivity for detecting regional and extrapelvic metastases, compared with conventional imaging. PSMA PET can also have an important role in the presurgical detection of extraprostatic disease and can guide surgical planning. Additionally, PSMA PET has proven to be an effective tool for planning definitive radiation therapy in treatment-naïve patients. CONCLUSIONS PSMA PET has a promising role in the initial staging of PCa and informing appropriate treatment options. Further research is necessary to evaluate the appropriate role of PSMA PET in management changes, and to understand the appropriate management of patients with metastatic disease. PATIENT SUMMARY We reviewed the diagnostic accuracy and treatment impact of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in the initial staging of prostate cancer (PCa). We conclude that PSMA PET is effective at imaging initial PCa and may result in the modification of treatment plans for patients.

Abstract
Objective To determine whether evaluating the mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) together with capsular contact (CC) adds value in the prediction of microscopic extracapsular extension (ECE) of prostate cancer. Materials and Methods Between January 2012 and December 2016, 383 patients underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate. A total of 67 patients were selected for inclusion. Two radiologists (observers 1 and 2), working independently, performed qualitative and quantitative analyses of ECE, macroscopic ECE, and microscopic ECE. A third radiologist assessed the correlation with the clinical data, and two experienced pathologists reviewed all histopathological findings. Results Among the 67 patients, mpMRI showed lesions that were confined to the capsule in 44 (66.7%), had microscopic ECE in 12 (17.9%), and had macroscopic ECE in 11 (16.4%). There were no significant differences, in terms of the diagnostic accuracy, as measured by determining the area under the curve (AUC), of CC on T2-weighted images (CCT2), CC on diffusion-weighted imaging (CCDWI), and the mean ADC for the prediction of microscopic ECE, between observer 1 (AUC of 0.728, 0.691, and 0.675, respectively) and observer 2 (AUC of 0.782, 0.821, and 0.799, respectively). Combining the mean ADC with the CCT2 or CCDWI did not improve the diagnostic accuracy for either observer. There was substantial interobserver agreement for the qualitative evaluation of ECE, as demonstrated by the kappa statistic, which was 0.77 (0.66-0.87). The diagnostic accuracy (AUC) of the qualitative assessment for predicting microscopic ECE was 0.745 for observer 1 and 0.804 for observer 2, and the difference was less than significant. In a multivariate analysis, none of clinical or imaging parameters were found to be associated with ECE. Conclusion For the detection of microscopic ECE on mpMRI, CC appears to have good diagnostic accuracy, especially if the observer has considerable experience. Adding the mean ADC to the CCT2 or CCDWI does not seem to provide any significant improvement in that diagnostic accuracy.

Real-time Augmented Reality Three-dimensional Guided Robotic Radical Prostatectomy: Preliminary Experience and Evaluation of the Impact on Surgical Planning. Eur Urol Focus 2020; 7:1260-1267.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Augmented reality (AR) is a novel technology adopted in prostatic surgery. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of a 3D model with AR (AR-3D model), to guide nerve sparing (NS) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), on surgical planning. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Twenty-six consecutive patients with diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) results available were scheduled for AR-3D NS RARP. INTERVENTION Segmentation of mpMRI and creation of 3D virtual models were achieved. To develop AR guidance, the surgical DaVinci video stream was sent to an AR-dedicated personal computer, and the 3D virtual model was superimposed and manipulated in real time on the robotic console. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The concordance of localisation of the index lesion between the 3D model and the pathological specimen was evaluated using a prostate map of 32 specific areas. A preliminary surgical plan to determinate the extent of the NS approach was recorded based on mpMRI. The final surgical plan was reassessed during surgery by implementation of the AR-3D model guidance. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS The positive surgical margin (PSM) rate was 15.4% in the overall patient population; three patients (11.5%) had PSMs at the level of the index lesion. AR-3D technology changed the NS surgical plan in 38.5% of men on patient-based and in 34.6% of sides on side-based analysis, resulting in overall appropriateness of 94.4%. The 3D model revealed 70%, 100%, and 92% of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, respectively, at the 32-area map analysis. CONCLUSIONS AR-3D guided surgery is useful for improving the real-time identification of the index lesion and allows changing of the NS approach in approximately one out of three cases, with overall appropriateness of 94.4%. PATIENT SUMMARY Augmented reality three-dimensional guided robot-assisted radical prostatectomy allows identification of the index prostate cancer during surgery, to tailor the surgical dissection to the index lesion and to change the extent of nerve-sparing dissection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diagnosis of anterior prostate cancer (PCa) can be quite challenging, often leading to delay in treatment. mpMRI-guided biopsy (GB) has been introduced aiming to increase the number of diagnoses of clinically significant PCa with fewer cores. The aim of our study is to compare pathological findings of prostate biopsy, In-bore or Fusion technique, with histopathological evaluation of radical prostatectomy. METHODS We prospectively collected data from 90 consecutive patients who underwent either In-bore or Fusion biopsy following the detection of an index suspicious lesion at mpMRI in the anterior part of the prostatic gland. Bioptical pathological findings were compared with pathological findings reported after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. RESULTS Patients who underwent In-bore GB had a higher rate of previous negative prostate biopsies (19% vs 44%, p = 0.02). Median number of bioptic cores taken (13 vs 2) and number of positive cores (3 vs 2) were significantly superior in the Fusion group compared to the In-bore group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively), whilst clinical International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade was homogeneous within groups. The concordance between anterior lesions detected at biopsy and those reported in the histopathological finding of radical prostatectomy was very high, without statistically significant difference between groups. CONCLUSION Both Fusion and In-bore GB are accurate in detecting anterior PCa, with enhanced precision detecting clinically significant tumours, as evidenced by pathologic examinations which confirmed the presence of index anterior PCa in > 50% of patients overall. Additional sextant biopsy is still required, especially among biopsy-näive patients, to avoid missing clinically significant PCa.

Shin TJ, Jung W, Ha JY, Kim BH, Kim YH. The significance of the visible tumor on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging in localized prostate cancer. Prostate Int 2020; 9:6-11. [PMID: 33912508 PMCID: PMC8053693 DOI: 10.1016/j.prnil.2020.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2020] [Revised: 06/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives We investigated the relationship between tumor characteristics and visible tumors on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and examined the prognosis of tumor detection on MRI compared with no tumor detection in localized prostate cancer. Materials and methods We reviewed 214 patients with pT2N0M0 prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy between January 2009 and December 2016. All the patients underwent MRI preoperatively. The patients were divided into 2 groups postoperatively: no visible tumor on the MRI group (n = 96, 44.9%) and visible tumor on the MRI group (n = 118, 55.1%). The visible tumor was defined as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System, version 2 Grade ≥ 3 on MRI. Age, prostate-specific antigen, prostate volume, positive surgical margin (PSM), lymphovascular invasion, and biochemical recurrence (BCR) were compared between the 2 groups. We also assessed the relationship between visible tumors on MRI and oncologic characteristics. Results The visible tumor on the MRI group showed a higher Gleason score ≥4 + 3 [45.8% versus (vs.) 17.7%], high frequency of postoperative PSMs (28.8% vs. 16.7%), and higher BCR rate (17.8% vs. 7.3%) than the no visible tumor on the MRI group. The Kaplan–Meier analysis for BCR-free survival also showed a significant difference (P = 0.006). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, the detection of tumors on MRI was associated with a higher BCR risk [hazard ratio: 3.35; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.36-8.27; P = 0.009]. We found a positive association between visible tumors on MRI and primary Gleason pattern of ≥4 (odds ratio: 4.31; 95% CI: 2.21–8.40; P < 0.001). Conclusions In localized prostate cancer, BCR was significantly more frequent when the tumor was detected on MRI, and a visible tumor on MRI was associated with the Gleason score. Therefore, attention should be paid to the possibility of high-grade prostate cancer when a tumor is detected on MRI before radical prostatectomy, and active follow-up may be needed postoperatively.

Abstract
Objectives Transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUS-GB) is the current reference standard procedure for diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) but this procedure has limitations related to the low detection rate (DR) described in the literature. The aim of the study was to evaluate the DR efficiency, and complication rate in a pure "in-bore" magnetic resonance imaging-guided biopsy (MRI-GB) series according to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System, version 2 (PI-RADS v2). Materials and Methods From July 2015 to April 2018, a series of 142 consecutive patients undergoing MRI-GB were prospectively enrolled. According to the European Society of Urogenital Radiology guidelines, the presence of clinically significant PCa (csPCa) on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging was defined as equivocal, likely, or highly likely according to a PI-RADS v2, score of 3, 4, or 5, respectively. Results Of 142 patients, 76 (53.5%) were biopsy naive and 66 (46.5%) had ≤ 1 previous negative set of random TRUS-GB findings. The MRI-GB findings were positive in 75 of 142 patients with a DR of 52.8%. Of the 76 patients with ≤ 1 previous set of TRUS-GB, 43 had PCa found by MRI-GB, with a DR of 57.3%. The DR in the 66 biopsy-naive patients was 48% (32/66). Of the 75 patients with positive biopsy findings, 54 (80.5%) were found to have csPCa on histological examination. Of these 54 patients, 28 had an International Society of Urological Pathology grade 2; 5 had grade 3, 19 had grade 4, and 2 had grade 5. Considering the anatomic distribution of the index lesions using the PI-RADS v2 scheme, the probability of PCa was greater for lesions located in the peripheral zone (55 of 75, 73.3%) than for those in the central zone (20 of 75, 26.7%). Conclusions Our study conducted on 142 patients confirmed the greater DR of csPCa by MRI-GB, with a very low number of cores needed and a negligible incidence of complications, especially in patients with a previous negative biopsy. MRI-GB is optimal for the diagnosis of anterior and central lesions.

Abstract
Following detection of high levels of serum prostate-specific antigen, many men are advised to have transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy in an attempt to locate a cancer. This nontargeted approach lacks accuracy and carries a small risk of potentially life-threatening sepsis. Worse still, it can detect clinically insignificant cancer cells, which are unlikely to be the origin of advanced-stage disease. The detection of these indolent cancer cells has led to overdiagnosis, one of the major problems of contemporary medicine, whereby many men with clinically insignificant disease are advised to undergo unnecessary radical surgery or radiotherapy. Advances in imaging and biomarker discovery have led to a revolution in prostate cancer diagnosis, and nontargeted prostate biopsies should become obsolete. In this Perspective article, we describe the current diagnostic pathway for prostate cancer, which relies on nontargeted biopsies, and the problems linked to this pathway. We then discuss the utility of prebiopsy multiparametric MRI and novel tumour markers. Finally, we comment on how the incorporation of these advances into a new diagnostic pathway will affect the current risk-stratification system and explore future challenges.

A partial augmented reality system with live ultrasound and registered preoperative MRI for guiding robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Med Image Anal 2019; 60:101588.

Abstract
We propose an image guidance system for robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP). A virtual 3D reconstruction of the surgery scene is displayed underneath the endoscope's feed on the surgeon's console. This scene consists of an annotated preoperative Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) registered to intraoperative 3D Trans-rectal Ultrasound (TRUS) as well as real-time sagittal 2D TRUS images of the prostate, 3D models of the prostate, the surgical instrument and the TRUS transducer. We display these components with accurate real-time coordinates with respect to the robot system. Since the scene is rendered from the viewpoint of the endoscope, given correct parameters of the camera, an augmented scene can be overlaid on the video output. The surgeon can rotate the ultrasound transducer and determine the position of the projected axial plane in the MRI using one of the registered da Vinci instruments. This system was tested in the laboratory on custom-made agar prostate phantoms. We achieved an average total registration accuracy of 3.2 ± 1.3 mm. We also report on the successful application of this system in the operating room in 12 patients. The average registration error between the TRUS and the da Vinci system for the last 8 patients was 1.4 ± 0.3 mm and average target registration error of 2.1 ± 0.8 mm, resulting in an in vivo overall robot system to MRI mean registration error of 3.5 mm or less, which is consistent with our laboratory studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of adding multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to pre-surgical planning on surgical decision making for the management of high-risk prostate cancer (HRPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A survey was designed to query multiple centers on surgical decisions of 41 consecutive HRPC cases seen from 2012 to 2015. HRPC was defined by the National Comprehensive Cancer Center Network guidelines. Six fellowship-trained urologic oncologists were asked for their surgical plan in regards to the degree of planned nerve-sparing and lymph node dissection. Two rounds of surveys were administered to six external urologic oncologists. The first survey included the case description only and the second included case description with mpMRI images and report. The correct surgical plan was analyzed by correlation of the degree of planned surgical excision and consistency with the final pathologic evaluation. A priori, an effect size of 20% change was used to determine statistical significance, at p < 0.05. RESULTS All cases had at least one change to surgical planning after mpMRI review. Forty (98%) patients had a change in the degree of planned nerve sparing: wider excision in 32% and increased nerve sparing in 24%. After mpMRI the correct surgical plan change was made in 49% for the right and left 51%, decreasing the potential for positive margins. Lymph node dissection was altered from standard to extended lymph node dissection in 17%. CONCLUSIONS Although mpMRI is not integrated in guidelines for preoperative planning in HRPC, its use may impact surgical planning, cancer control, and quality of life.

Abstract
Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) has proven to be an essential tool for diagnosis, post-treatment follow-up, aggressiveness assessment, and active surveillance of prostate cancer. Currently, this imaging technique is part of the daily practice in many oncological centres. This manuscript aims to review the use of mpMRI in the set of prostatic diseases, either malignant or benign: mpMRI to detect and stage prostate cancer is discussed, as well as its use for active surveillance. Image-guided ablation techniques for prostate cancer are also reviewed. The need to establish minimum acceptable technical parameters for prostate mpMRI, standardize reports, uniform terminology for describing imaging findings, and develop assessment categories that differentiate levels of suspicion for clinically significant prostate cancer led to the development of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System that is reviewed. Special focus will also be given on the most up-to-date evidence of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Management of patients with BPH, technical aspects of PAE, expected outcomes and level of evidence are reviewed with the most recent literature. PAE is a challenging technique that requires dedicated anatomical knowledge and comprehensive embolization skills. PAE has been shown to be an effective minimally-invasive treatment option for symptomatic BPH patients, that can be viewed between medical therapy and surgery. PAE may be a good option for symptomatic BPH patients that do not want to be operated and can obviate the need for prostatic surgery in up to 80% of treated patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of multiparametric magnetic0 resonance imaging (mpMRI) to guide the nerve-sparing (NS) surgical plan in prostate cancer (PCa) patients referred to robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). METHODS One hundred thirty-seven consecutive PCa patients were submitted to RARP between September 2016 and February 2017 at two high-volume European centers. Before RARP, each patient was referred to 1.5T or 3T mpMRI. NS was recorded as Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade 4 according to Tewari and colleagues classification. A preliminary surgical plan to determinate the extent of NS approach was recorded based on clinical data. The final surgical plan was reassessed after mpMRI revision. The appropriateness of surgical plan change was considered based on the presence of extracapsular extension or positive surgical margins (PSMs) at level of neurovascular bundles area at final pathology. Furthermore, we analyzed a control group during the same period of 166 PCa patients referred to RARP in both institutions without preoperative mpMRI to assess the impact of the use of mpMRI on the surgical margins. RESULTS Considering 137 patients with preoperative mpMRI, the mpMRI revision induced the main surgeon to change the NS surgical plan in 46.7% of cases on patient-based and 56.2% on side-based analysis. The surgical plan change results equally assigned between the direction of more radical and less radical approach both on patient-based (54.7% vs 54.3%) and on side-based levels (50% vs 50%), resulting an overall appropriateness of 75%. Moreover, patients staged with mpMRI revealed significant lower overall PSMs compared with control group with no mpMRI (12.4% vs 24.1%; p ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSIONS mpMRI induces robotic surgeons to change the surgical plan in almost half of individuals, thus tailoring the NS approach, without compromising the oncologic outcomes. Compared to patients treated without mpMRI, the use of preoperative mpMRI can significantly reduce the overall PSMs.

Abstract
Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is an imaging modality that combines anatomical MR imaging with one or more functional MRI sequences. It has become a versatile tool for detecting and characterising prostate cancer (PCa). The traditional role of mpMRI was confined to PCa staging, but due to the advanced imaging techniques, its role has expanded to various stages in clinical practises including tumour detection, disease monitor during active surveillance and sequential imaging for patient follow-up. Meanwhile, with the growing speed of data generation and the increasing volume of imaging data, it is highly demanded to apply computerised methods to process mpMRI data and extract useful information. Hence quantitative analysis for imaging data using radiomics has become an emerging paradigm. The application of radiomics approaches in prostate cancer has not only enabled automatic localisation of the disease but also provided a non-invasive solution to assess tumour biology (e.g. aggressiveness and the presence of hypoxia). This article reviews mpMRI and its expanding role in PCa detection, staging and patient management. Following that, an overview of prostate radiomics will be provided, with a special focus on its current applications as well as its future directions.

Abstract
Context Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently the most accurate imaging modality to assess local prostate cancer stage. Despite a growing body of evidence, incorporation of MRI images into decision-making process concerning surgical template of radical prostatectomy, is complex and still poorly understood. Objective We sought to determine the value of MRI in preoperative planning before radical prostatectomy. Materials and methods Systematic search through electronic PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases from 2000 up to April 2018 was performed. Only studies that used preoperative MRI in decision-making process regarding extension of resection in patients with prostate cancer, in whom radical prostatectomy was an initial form of treatment were included into analysis. Their quality was scored by Risk Of Bias In Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions system. Meta-analysis was performed to calculate the weighted summary proportion under the fixed or random effects model as appropriate and pooled effects were depicted on forest plots. Results The results showed that the preoperative MRI led to the modification of initial surgical template in one third of cases (35%). This occurred increasingly with the rising prostate cancer-risk category: 28%, 33%, 52% in low-, intermediate- and high-risk group, respectively. Modification of neurovascular bundle-sparing surgery based on MRI appeared to have no impact on the positive surgical margin rate. The decision based on MRI was correct on average in 77% of cases and differed across prostate cancer-risk categories: 63%, 75% and 91% in low-, intermediate- and high-risk group, accordingly. Conclusions In summary, MRI has a considerable impact on the decision-making process regarding the extent of resection during radical prostatectomy. Adaptation of MRI images by operating surgeons has at worst no significant impact on surgical margin status, however its ability to decrease the positive surgical margin rates remains unconfirmed.

Detection of Individual Prostate Cancer Foci via Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Eur Urol 2018; 75:712-720.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) undoubtedly affects the diagnosis and treatment of localized prostate cancer (CaP). However, clinicians need a better understanding of its accuracy and limitations in detecting individual CaP foci to optimize management. OBJECTIVE To determine the per-lesion detection rate for CaP foci by mpMRI and identify predictors of tumor detection. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We carried out a retrospective analysis of a prospectively managed database correlating lesion-specific results from mpMRI co-registered with whole-mount pathology (WMP) prostatectomy specimens from June 2010 to February 2018. Participants include 588 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven CaP undergoing 3-T mpMRI before radical prostatectomy at a single tertiary institution. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS We measured mpMRI sensitivity in detecting individual CaP and clinically significant (any Gleason score ≥7) CaP foci and predictors of tumor detection using multivariate analysis. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS The final analysis included 1213 pathologically confirmed tumor foci in 588 patients with primarily intermediate- (75%) or high-risk (12%) CaP. mpMRI detected 45% of all lesions (95% confidence interval [CI] 42-47%), including 65% of clinically significant lesions (95% CI 61-69%) and nearly 80% of high-grade tumors. Some 74% and 31% of missed solitary and multifocal tumors, respectively, were clinically significant. The majority of missed lesions were small (61.1% ≤1cm); 28.3% were between 1 and 2cm, and 10.4% were >2cm. mpMRI missed at least one clinically significant focus in 34% of patients overall, and in 45% of men with multifocal lesions. On multivariate analysis, smaller, low-grade, multifocal, nonindex tumors with lower prostate-specific antigen density were more likely to be missed. Limitations include selection bias in a prostatectomy cohort, lack of specificity data, an imperfect co-registration process, and uncertain clinical significance for undetected lesions. CONCLUSIONS mpMRI detects less than half of all and less than two-thirds of clinically significant CaP foci. The moderate per-lesion sensitivity and significant proportion of men with undetected tumor foci demonstrate the current limitations of mpMRI. PATIENT SUMMARY Magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate before surgical removal for prostate cancer finds less than half of all individual prostate cancer tumors. Large, solitary, aggressive tumors are more likely to be visualized on imaging.

Combined Clinical Parameters and Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Prediction of Extraprostatic Disease-A Risk Model for Patient-tailored Risk Stratification When Planning Radical Prostatectomy. Eur Urol Focus 2018; 6:1205-1212. [PMID: 30477971 DOI: 10.1016/j.euf.2018.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2018] [Revised: 10/19/2018] [Accepted: 11/10/2018] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) facilitates the detection of significant prostate cancer. Therefore, addition of mpMRI to clinical parameters might improve the prediction of extraprostatic extension (EPE) in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens. OBJECTIVE To investigate the accuracy of a novel risk model (RM) combining clinical and mpMRI parameters to predict EPE in RP specimens. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We added prebiopsy mpMRI to clinical parameters and developed an RM to predict individual side-specific EPE (EPE-RM). Clinical parameters of 264 consecutive men with mpMRI prior to MRI/transrectal ultrasound fusion biopsy and subsequent RP between 2012 and 2015 were retrospectively analysed. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Multivariate regression analyses were used to determine significant EPE predictors for RM development. The prediction performance of the novel EPE-RM was compared with clinical T stage (cT), MR-European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) classification for EPE, two established nomograms (by Steuber et al and Ohori et al) and a clinical nomogram based on the coefficients of the established nomograms, and was constructed based on the data of the present cohort, using receiver operating characteristics (ROCs). For comparison, models' likelihood ratio (LR) tests and Vuong tests were used. Discrimination and calibration of the EPE-RM were validated based on resampling methods using bootstrapping. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS International society of Urogenital Pathology grade on biopsy, ESUR criteria, prostate-specific antigen, cT, prostate volume, and capsule contact length were included in the EPE-RM. Calibration of the EPE-RM was good (error 0.018). The ROC area under the curve for the EPE-RM was larger (0.87) compared with cT (0.66), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center nomogram (0.73), Steuber nomogram (0.70), novel clinical nomogram (0.79), and ESUR classification (0.81). Based on LR and Vuong tests, the EPE-RM's model fit was significantly better than that of cT, all clinical models, and ESUR classification alone (p<0.001). Limitations include monocentric design and expert reading of MRI. CONCLUSIONS This novel EPE-RM, incorporating clinical and MRI parameters, performed better than contemporary clinical RMs and MRI predictors, therefore providing an accurate patient-tailored preoperative risk stratification of side-specific EPE. PATIENT SUMMARY Extraprostatic extension of prostate cancer can be predicted accurately using a combination of magnetic resonance imaging and clinical parameters. This novel risk model outperforms magnetic resonance imaging and clinical predictors alone and can be useful when planning nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy.

. Arch Med Sci 2018; 14:1387-1393.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 3.0-T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in preoperative staging of prostate cancer (PCa) and its influence on the extent of resection during endoscopic radical prostatectomy (ERP) among cancer risk groups. MATERIAL AND METHODS The data of 154 patients with PCa in whom mpMRI was performed prior to ERP between 2011 and 2015 were included. The initial decision whether to perform neurovascular bundle (NVB) sparing surgery was based on EAU guidelines. mpMRI images were reevaluated prior to prostatectomy to modify the surgical template. Imaging was compared with pathological reports to investigate the diagnostic performance of mpMRI. RESULTS The surgical template was modified in 69 (44.8%) patients after reevaluation of mpMRI. More preserving NVB sparing was attempted in 17 (11.0%) men, in whom NVB would have been resected if mpMRI had not been available. More aggressive NVB resection was performed in 52 (33.8%) men, in whom innervation would have been spared if basing solely based on guidelines. Among all PCa risk groups mpMRI had an impact on the surgical template with more aggressive surgery in 63.0% and 33.3% of men in the low- and intermediate-risk group, respectively, and more preserving in 21.4% of the high-risk patients. The change in extent of resection was not correlated with a higher risk of positive surgical margins (p = 0.196). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative mpMRI exerts a significant impact on decision making concerning the extent of resection during ERP irrespective of the PCa risk group.

Comparison of 3D printed prostate models with standard radiological information to aid understanding of the precise location of prostate cancer: A construct validation study. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0199477. [PMID: 29940018 PMCID: PMC6016928 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0199477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2018] [Accepted: 06/07/2018] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Background To investigate the reliability with which healthcare professionals with different levels of expertise are able to impart the exact location of prostate cancer (PCA) after (A) reading written magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports, (B) attending MRI presentations in multidisciplinary team meetings (MDT), and (C) examining 3D printed prostate models, which represents a new technology to describe the location of PCA lesions. Methods We used three different PCA cases to assess the three information tools. Construct validation was performed using two healthcare groups with different levels of expertise: (1) Nine expert urologists in PCA, and (2) nine medical students. After each information tool, the study participants plotted the tumor location in a 2-dimensional prostate diagram. A scoring system was established to evaluate the drawings in terms of accuracy of plotting tumor position. Data are shown as median scores with interquartile range. Results Within the expert group, no significant difference was seen in the overall scoring results between the information tools (p = 0.34). Medical students performed significantly worse with MDT information (p = 0.03). Experts performed better in all three information tools compared to students, resulting in a significantly 25% higher overall total score (25.0[22.3–26.7] vs. 20.0[15.0–24.0], p<0.001). The difference was largest after MDT information, with experts showing a 49% better scoring (p<0.001), and second largest with the 3D printed models, showing a 17% better scoring of the experts (p = 0.07). No difference was found in the written MRI report scoring results between experts and students. Conclusions 3D printed models provided better orientation guide to medical students compared to MDT MRI presentations. This indicates that the 3D printed models might be easier to understand than the current gold standard MDT conferences. Therefore, 3D models may play an increasingly important role in providing guidance for orientation for less experienced individuals, such as surgical trainees.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the correlation of preoperative fascia thickness (FT) and intraoperative fascia preservation (FP) with erectile function (EF) after nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). METHODS Our analysis included 106 patients, with localized prostate cancer and no erectile dysfunction (ED) before RARP, assessed with preoperative 3 Tesla (3 T) multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). FP score was defined as the extent of FP from the base to the apex of the prostate, quantitatively assessed by the surgeon. Median fascia thickness (MFT) per patient was defined as the sum of the median FT of 12 MRI regions. Preserved MFT (pMFT) was the sum of the saved MFT. The percentage of pFMT (ppMFT) was also calculated. Fascia surface (FS) was measured on MRI and it was combined with FP score resulting in preserved FS (pFS) and percentage of pFS (ppFS). RESULTS FP score, pMFT, ppMFT, pFS and ppFS were significantly lower (p < 0.0001) in patients with ED. In the multivariate regression analysis, lower FP score [odds ratio (OR) 0.721, p = 0.03] and lower ppMFT (OR 0.001, p = 0.027) were independent predictors of ED. ROC analysis showed the highest area under the curve for ppMFT (0.787) and FP score (0.767) followed by pMFT (0.755) and ppFS (0.743). CONCLUSIONS MRI-determined periprostatic FT combined with intraoperative FP score are correlated to postprostatectomy EF. Based on the hypothesis that a thicker fascia forms a protective layer for the nerves, we recommend assessing FT preoperatively to counsel men for the odds of preserving EF after RARP.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), used in conjunction with the Prostrate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS), version 2, in the detection of prostate cancer (PCa), and to determine the extent of the efficacy of mpMRI as a screening test in biopsy-naïve patients. METHODS Retrospective analysis was conducted in 107 patients who underwent mpMRI prior to radical prostatectomy (RP) at a single institution. The mpMRI findings were reassessed using PI-RADS, version 2. A comparison was made between the histological findings for the RP specimens and the mpMRI results. RESULTS Unique histologically confirmed PCa foci (237) were identified in 107 patients. Overall, mpMRI sensitivity of 46% was found for PCa detection (110/237). The sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value of mpMRI was 75.5%, 77.0% and 79.8%, respectively, for clinically significant cancer, and 75.7%, 77.7% and 79.5%, for pathological index tumors. A moderate and significant correlation was observed between a high PI-RADS score and a high pathological grade, tumor volume, index tumor status and clinically significant cancer status (all, P < 0.001, respectively). Pathological tumor volume was a significant predictor of PCa detection using mpMRI according to multivariate analysis. Using a cut-off value of 0.89 cc, the sensitivity and specificity of mpMRI for PCa detection were 0.87 and 0.65, respectively. CONCLUSION The mpMRI, used in conjunction with PI-RADS, was useful in detecting PCa and in predicting tumor aggressiveness. However, the detection of 20% of clinically significant cancer was missed using mpMRI. Thus, its inclusion in a triage test should be limited to selected biopsy-naïve patients.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is characterized by a complex set of heterogeneous disease states. This review aims to describe how imaging has been studied within each specific state. As physicians transition into an era of precision medicine, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is proving to be a powerful tool leading the way for a paradigm shift in the diagnosis and management of localized prostate cancer. With further research and development, molecular imaging modalities will likely change the way we approach recurrent and metastatic disease. Given the range of possible oncological progression patterns, a thorough understanding of the underlying carcinogenesis, as it relates to imaging, is a requisite if we are to appropriately manage prostate cancer in future decades.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate if diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is able to detect changes of periprostatic neurovascular fibers (PNFs) before and after radical prostatectomy (RP), and if these changes are related to post-surgical urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. METHODS 22 patients (mean age 62.6 years) with biopsy-proven prostate cancer underwent 1.5 T DTI before and after RP. The number, fractional anisotropy (FA) values and length of PNFs before and after RP were compared using Student's t-test. Each patient filled out two questionnaires before and after RP, one for the evaluation of urinary continence (ICIQ-SF) and one for the evaluation of erectile function (IIEF-5). The ratios of the number, FA values and length of PNFs before and after RP (DTI B-A RATIOs) and the ratios between the scores obtained before and after RP for both ICIQ-SF and IIEF-2 (ICIQ-SF B-A RATIOs and IIEF-2 B-A RATIOs) were calculated to perform the Kendall's τ-test between them. RESULTS There was a statistically significant decrease of the number of PNFs after RP at base, midgland, and apex (p < 0.01) and of FA values at midgland (p < 0.05), with positive statistically significant correlation between the DTI B-A RATIOs of the number of PNFs and IIEF-2 B-A RATIOs (p < 0.05, ρ = 0.47). CONCLUSION DTI was able to detect that the decrease of the number of the PNFs after RP was statistically related to the post-surgical erectile dysfunction (p < 0.05). Advances in knowledge: This work demonstrates that: (1) 1.5 T MRI DTI is able to detect the decrease of the number and of the FA of PNFs after prostatectomy; (2) the decrease of the number of PNFs after prostatectomy is related with the post-surgical erectile dysfunction; (3) 1.5 T MRI DTI has demonstrated to be a reproducible technique in detecting the changes of the PNFs induced by RP, with high interobserver agreement.

Abstract
Objective We investigated the effect of the use of multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) on the dissection plan of the neurovascular bundle and the oncological results of our patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Material and methods We prospectively evaluated 60 consecutive patients, including 30 patients who had (Group 1), and 30 patients who had not (Group 2) mp-MRI before robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Based on the findings of mp-MRI, the dissection plan was changed as intrafascial, interfascial, and extrafascial in the mp-MRI group. Two groups were compared in terms of age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), Gleason sum scores and surgical margin positivity. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, PSA, biopsy Gleason score, final pathological Gleason score and surgical margin positivity. mp-MRI changed the initial surgical plan in 18 of 30 patients (60%) in Group 1. In seventeen of these patients (56%) surgical plan was changed from non-nerve sparing to interfascial nerve sparing plan. In one patient dissection plan was changed to non-nerve sparing technique which had extraprostatic extension on final pathology. Surgical margin positivity was similar in Groups 1, and 2 (16% and 13%, respectively) although, Group 1 had higher number of high- risk patients. mp-MRI confirmed the primary tumour localisation in the final pathology in 27 of of 30 patients (90%). Conclusion Preoperative mp-MRI effected the decision to perform a nerve-sparing technique in 56% of the patients in our study; moreover, changing the dissection plan from non-nerve-sparing technique to a nerve sparing technique did not increase the rate of surgical margin positivity.
