Abstract
BACKGROUND Urine is a promising biological fluid for prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics due to its non-invasive collection and wide range of biomarkers. The aim of this study was to assess the role of urinary PSA (uPSA) and urinary Zinc (uZinc) as biomarkers for the diagnosis of PCa in combination with routine parameters of standard of care (SOC - blood PSA, abnormal DRE, age) and MRI in patients candidates for prostate biopsy. METHODS Urine samples after prostatic massages were collected from men with suspected PCa scheduled for prostate biopsy. Quantification of uPSA was performed by ECLIA platform and confirmed by ELISA assay, while uZinc measurement was evaluated by ICP-MS and confirmed by colorimetric in vitro assay. Six multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to assess diagnostic performance of uPSA and uZinc (urine), SOC and MRI alone, and combination of MRI+SOC, MRI+urine and SOC+MRI+urine. The discriminative power of the logistic models was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC). RESULTS Two hundred thirty-eight patients were included in the analysis; 145 of them were diagnosed with PCa. Urine test showed a better discrimination of HS from CP, in respect of uPSA and uZinc alone, both for PCa of any grade and Gleason Score ≥7 (4+3) (AUC 0.804 and 0.823 respectively). ROC curve combining SOC+MRI+urine showed an AUC=0.882, that is statistically different from SOC or MRI alone, or MRI+SOC (P=0.0001, P=0.0001, and P=0.008 respectively). PCa risk algorithm designed considering SOC+MRI+urine results in potential reduction of 57% of unnecessary biopsies compared to the current standard parameters. CONCLUSIONS The loss of uPSA and Zinc production and secretion during neoplastic transformation of the prostate could potentially represent a hallmark of PCa. Its combination with age, PSA and DRE, as well as with mpMRI could represent an interesting approach to improve the diagnostic accuracy of PCa.

Immunohistochemistry analysis of PSMA expression at prostatic biopsy in high-risk prostate cancer: potential implications for PSMA-PET patient selection. Front Oncol 2024; 14:1324631. [PMID: 38807770 PMCID: PMC11130476 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1324631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane protein expressed by normal prostatic tissue. Therefore, molecular imaging targeting PSMA (PSMA-PET) has gained particular interest and diffusion for PCa staging and restaging. Several factors may affect PSMA-PET results, and many tools have been proposed to improve patient selection. Furthermore, PSMA expression is not homogeneous among different tissues and within the prostate itself. The aims of this study were to evaluate immunohistochemistry (IHC) features of prostate biopsy samples and to assess their correlation with whole-mount specimens and PSMA-PET parameters. Methods We included consecutive high-risk PCa patients who underwent PSMA-PET for staging proposal at our institution from January 2022 to December 2022. The PET parameters selected were SUVmax, total volume (TV), and total lesion activity (TL). Each patient underwent multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and fusion-targeted prostate biopsy prior to surgery. IHC analyses were performed on the index lesion cores. IHC visual score (VS) (1, 2, 3) and visual pattern (VP) (membranous, cytoplasmic, and combined) and the percentage of PSMA-negative tumor areas (PSMA%neg) within biopsy cores were evaluated. Results Forty-three patients who underwent robotic radical prostatectomy after PSMA-PET were available for analyses. Concordance between VS and VP at biopsy and final pathology showed a Cohen's kappa coefficient of 0.39 and 0.38, respectively. Patients with PSMA%neg <20% had a higher concordance in VS and VP (Cohen's kappa 0.49 and 0.4, respectively). No difference emerged in terms of median PSMA-TV (p = 0.3) and PSMA-TL (p = 0.9) according to VS at biopsy, while median SUVmax was higher in patients with VS 3 (p = 0.04). Higher SUVmax was associated with membranous and combined VP expression (p = 0.008). No difference emerged between patients with PSMA%neg <20% or PSMA%neg >20% on biopsy cores in terms of SUVmax, PSMA-TL, and PSMA-TV (p = 0.5, p = 0.5, and p = 0.9 respectively). Conclusions We found a correlation between IHC VS and VP on targeted biopsy cores and SUVmax at PSMA-PET. However, the correlation between the IHC parameters of biopsy cores and final pathology was not as high as expected. Nevertheless, the presence of PSMA%neg <20% seems to have a better concordance in terms of visual score.

Diagnosis of prostate cancer with magnetic resonance imaging in men treated with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. World J Urol 2023; 41:2967-2974. [PMID: 37787941 PMCID: PMC10632288 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-023-04634-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The primary aim of this study was to evaluate if exposure to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) modifies the effect of MRI for the diagnosis of clinically significant Prostate Cancer (csPCa) (ISUP Gleason grade ≥ 2). METHODS This study is a multicenter cohort study including patients undergoing prostate biopsy and MRI at 24 institutions between 2013 and 2022. Multivariable analysis predicting csPCa with an interaction term between 5-ARIs and PIRADS score was performed. Sensitivity, specificity, and negative (NPV) and positive (PPV) predictive values of MRI were compared in treated and untreated patients. RESULTS 705 patients (9%) were treated with 5-ARIs [median age 69 years, Interquartile range (IQR): 65, 73; median PSA 6.3 ng/ml, IQR 4.0, 9.0; median prostate volume 53 ml, IQR 40, 72] and 6913 were 5-ARIs naïve (age 66 years, IQR 60, 71; PSA 6.5 ng/ml, IQR 4.8, 9.0; prostate volume 50 ml, IQR 37, 65). MRI showed PIRADS 1-2, 3, 4, and 5 lesions in 141 (20%), 158 (22%), 258 (37%), and 148 (21%) patients treated with 5-ARIs, and 878 (13%), 1764 (25%), 2948 (43%), and 1323 (19%) of untreated patients (p < 0.0001). No difference was found in csPCa detection rates, but diagnosis of high-grade PCa (ISUP GG ≥ 3) was higher in treated patients (23% vs 19%, p = 0.013). We did not find any evidence of interaction between PIRADS score and 5-ARIs exposure in predicting csPCa. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of PIRADS ≥ 3 were 94%, 29%, 46%, and 88% in treated patients and 96%, 18%, 43%, and 88% in untreated patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Exposure to 5-ARIs does not affect the association of PIRADS score with csPCa. Higher rates of high-grade PCa were detected in treated patients, but most were clearly visible on MRI as PIRADS 4 and 5 lesions. TRIAL REGISTRATION The present study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT05078359.

Site-specific concordance of targeted and systematic biopsy cores at the index lesion on multiparametric magnetic resonance: can we spare the double-tap? World J Urol 2023; 41:27-33. [PMID: 36471133 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-022-04229-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To define the impact of systematic biopsy (SB) cores directed in the same area of index lesion in patients undergoing targeted biopsy (TB) and SB for prostate cancer (PCa) suspicion. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data of biopsy-naïve patients with one single suspicious lesion at mpMRI who underwent TB plus SB at our institution between January 2015 and September 2021. A convenient sample of 336 patients was available for our analyses. The primary outcome was to evaluate the impact of overlapping SB cores directed to the index lesion at mpMRI. The secondary outcome was to evaluate the SB cores concordance in terms of highest Gleason Score Detection with TB cores. RESULTS 56% of patients were found to have site-specific concordance. SB cores determined disease upgrade in 22.1% patients. Thirty-one (16.4%) site-concordant patients experienced upgrade through overlapping SB cores, while 149 (79.3%) had no benefit by SB cores, and 8 (4.3%) patients had the worst ISUP at TB cores. 50% of the patients with negative-TB were upgraded to insignificant PCa, and 17.5% was upgraded from negative to unfavorable-intermediate- or high-risk PCa. Overall, 14 (19.4%) patients were also upgraded from ISUP 1 on TB to csPCa, with 28.5% of these harboring high-risk PCa. In csPCas at TB, 9 (12.5%) patients were upgraded from intermediate- to high-risk disease by SB. CONCLUSIONS TB alone consents to identify worst ISUP PCa in vast majority of patients scheduled for biopsy. A non-negligible number of patients are upgraded via-SB cores, including also index lesion overlapping cores. Omitting these cores might lead to a suboptimal patient management.
