Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess whether data from pre-therapeutic multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) combined with three-dimensional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (3D MRS) provide prognostic factors of biochemical relapse in patients with localized prostate cancer treated by external radiotherapy or brachytherapy. METHODS In our single institution observational retrospective study we included a cohort of 230 patients treated by external radiotherapy or brachytherapy who had an initial mpMRI with 3D MRS from January 2008 to December 2015 for newly diagnosed localized prostatic cancer, proven histologically. Three trained radiologists recorded tumor characteristics, MRI T-stage and metabolic abnormalities from 3D MRS data. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyzes explored the relationship between clinical and imaging variables to highlight prognostic factors for recurrence, using biochemical relapse as the primary endpoint. RESULTS mpMRI data analysis allowed to reclassify 21.7% of the patients in a MRI National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) group higher than their initial clinical T-stage, but also to detect a lesion in 78% of the patients considered as clinically T1c. After a median of follow-up of 8.7 years (IQR, 6.6-10.1) following cancer diagnosis, 36 (16%) patients developed a biochemical relapse. The multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated the existence of 3 independent factors for prediction of biochemical recurrence: extracapsular extension (ECE) (HR =3.33; 95% CI: 1.93-5.73; P<0.01), choline/citrate ratio in healthy tissue in the transition zone (TZ) (HR =2.96; 95% CI: 1.06-8.28; P=0.04) and the NCCN Magnetic Resonance Imaging classification (intermediate versus low-risk, HR =3.06; 95% CI: 1.13-8.30; P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Combination of mpMRI and 3DMRS could aid in the prognostic stratification of localized prostate cancer treated by radiotherapy or brachytherapy, by combining accurate evaluation of tumor extension, and quantification of prostate metabolism.

Abstract
There is a wide spectrum of benign and malignant mesenchymal neoplasms of the prostate, which account for less than 1% of all prostatic tumors. These include distinctive tumors that arise from the specialized prostatic stroma and site-agnostic neoplasms such as smooth muscle tumors, fibrous or myofibroblastic neoplasms, neurogenic tumors, vascular tumors, and a plethora of sarcomas. Select tumors show classic sites of origin within the prostate. While stromal tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMPs) commonly involve the peripheral zone at the prostate base, leiomyomas typically originate from the central prostate toward the apex. Some "prostatic" neoplasms such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors, solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), paragangliomas, and neurogenic tumors arise primarily from periprostatic soft tissues. Most mesenchymal tumors of the prostate and seminal vesicles manifest as large tumors that cause nonspecific symptoms; prostate-specific antigen level is not typically elevated. Diverse mesenchymal neoplasms demonstrate characteristic histopathologic and immunocytochemical features and variable cross-sectional imaging findings. While leiomyoma and SFT typically display low signal intensity on T2-weighted images, synovial sarcomas commonly show hemorrhage. Diagnosis is difficult because of the rarity and lack of awareness of the tumors and the significant overlap in histopathologic features. Select tumors show characteristic genetic abnormalities that allow the diagnosis to be established. For example, more than 90% of SFTs are characterized by a unique NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion, and more than 95% of synovial sarcomas are associated with a distinctive SYT-SSX chimeric transcript. Accurate diagnosis is imperative for optimal management owing to markedly different tumor biology as well as attendant therapeutic and prognostic implications. While STUMPs commonly recur, sarcomas typically charter an aggressive course with poor prognosis. Online supplemental material is available for this article. ©RSNA, 2022.
