Multiparametric MRI with in-bore targeted biopsy in the diagnostic pathway of prostate cancer: Data from a single institution experience. Urol Oncol 2021; 39:781.e9-781.e15. [PMID: 33676850 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2021.01.026] [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: 10/31/2020] [Revised: 12/28/2020] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accuracy of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for the detection of significant prostate cancer (CaP) varies in the literature as only few studies use radical prostatectomy specimens as their gold standard. On another hand, MRI-targeted prostate biopsy is emerging as an alternative to the traditional randomized biopsy, with a higher detection rate of high-grade cancers. However, data on MRI guided in bore biopsy is lacking. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed every patient that had his mpMRI, MRI guided in bore biopsy and radical prostatectomy performed in our hospital between November 2015 and December 2020. The diagnostic performances of both mpMRI and MRI targeted biopsy in sampling PIRADS index lesions were studied, using radical prostatectomy specimens as the gold standard. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of mpMRI for detecting T3 stage, extra-capsular extension, seminal vesicles involvement and lymph node disease were also evaluated. RESULTS Sixty-two met our inclusion criteria. For PIRADS≥3 lesions, sensitivity and positive predictive value for detecting clinically significant CaP were of 83.5% and 94.7%. A total of 32.2% prostate cancers on targeted biopsy were upgraded on final pathology, with an upgrading to ISUP≥2 in 3.2% and to ISUP≥3 in 14.5%. A total of 20.9% of cancers were downgraded but without any downgrading to ISUP 1. When final pathology is taken as a gold standard, sensitivity of mpMRI was 31.8% for T3 staging prediction, 30.0% for extra-capsular extension, 28.7% for seminal vesicles involvement and 66.7% for lymph node disease prediction. Specificity was 89.3%, 93.1%, 95.3%, and 92.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION mpMRI has an acceptable accuracy for the prediction of significant CaP and index lesion detection but is unreliable for CaP staging. Comparison between pathology and biopsy results revealed that the in-bore biopsy technique has an upgrading and downgrading rate comparable in the literature to fusion biopsy, but higher than the combined biopsy approach.

J Magn Reson Imaging 2020; 52:1102-1109. [PMID: 32212356 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.27132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2019] [Revised: 03/03/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gleason score (GS) is a histologic prognostic factor and the basis of treatment decision-making for prostate cancer (PCa). Treatment regimens between lower-grade (GS ≤7) and high-grade (GS >7) PCa differ largely and have great effects on cancer progression. PURPOSE To investigate the use of different sequences in biparametric MRI (bpMRI) of the prostate gland for noninvasively distinguishing high-grade PCa. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. POPULATION In all, 489 patients (training cohort: N = 326; test cohort: N = 163) with PCa between June 2008 and January 2018. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3.0T, pelvic phased-array coils, bpMRI including T2 -weighted imaging (T2 WI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI); apparent diffusion coefficient map extracted from DWI. ASSESSMENT The whole prostate gland was delineated. Radiomic features were extracted and selected using the Kruskal-Wallis test, the minimum redundancy-maximum relevance, and the sequential backward elimination algorithm. Two single-sequence radiomic (T2 WI, DWI) and two combined (T2 WI-DWI, T2 WI-DWI-Clinic) models were respectively constructed and validated via logistic regression. STATISTICAL TESTS The Kruskal-Wallis test and chi-squared test were utilized to evaluate the differences among variable groups. P < 0.05 determined statistical significance. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy were used to evaluate model performance. The Delong test was conducted to compare the differences between the AUCs of all models. RESULT All radiomic models showed significant (P < 0.001) predictive performances. Between the single-sequence radiomic models, the DWI model achieved the most encouraging results, with AUCs of 0.801 and 0.787 in the training and test cohorts, respectively. For the combined models, the T2 WI-DWI models acquired an AUC of 0.788, which was almost the same with DWI in the test cohort, and no significant difference was found between them (training cohort: P = 0.199; test cohort: P = 0.924). DATA CONCLUSION Radiomics based on bpMRI can noninvasively identify high-grade PCa before the operation, which is helpful for individualized diagnosis of PCa. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:1102-1109.

Comparison of the accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) results with the final pathology findings for radical prostatectomy specimens in the detection of prostate cancer. Asia Pac J Clin Oncol 2018; 15:e20-e27. [PMID: 29920966 DOI: 10.1111/ajco.13027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2018] [Accepted: 05/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
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.

Intraprostatic locations of tumor foci of higher grade missed by diagnostic prostate biopsy among potential candidates for active surveillance. Sci Rep 2016; 6:36781.

Abstract
To establish optimal biopsy scheme for selection of candidates for active surveillance (AS) among prostate cancer (PCa) patients, information on topographical distribution of tumor foci of higher grade missed by contemporary biopsy amongst potential candidates of AS would certainly be useful. Thus we analyzed topographic distribution of tumor foci by examining prostatectomy specimens in 444 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for low risk PCa. Anterior and posterior prostate areas were demarcated by a horizontal line drawn at midpoint of prostatic urethra. Among 444 subjects, patients with upgrading showed relatively higher prevalence of index tumor foci in anterior prostate than those without upgrading, though not reaching statistical significance (p = 0.252). Meanwhile, among 135 (30.4%) patients with very low risk PCa, patients with upgrading showed significantly higher prevalence of index tumor foci in anterior prostate than those without upgrading (52.2% vs 33.8%; p = 0.031). In conclusions, tumor foci of higher grade missed by diagnostic biopsy were mostly located in anterior prostate among very low risk PCa patients. Such finding would be concrete evidence to support the notion that more efforts are needed to increase accuracy in detecting tumor foci in anterior prostate among potential candidates for AS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy reported to Australian cancer registries with numerous studies from individual registries summarizing diagnostic and treatment characteristics. The aim of this study was to describe annual trends in clinical and treatment characteristics, and changes in surveillance practice within a large combined cohort of men with PCa in South Australia (SA) and Victoria, Australia in 2008-2013. METHODS Common data items from clinical registries in SA and Victoria were merged to develop a cross-jurisdictional dataset consisting of 13,598 men with PCa. Frequencies were used to describe these variables using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network risk of disease progression categories in 10 year age groups. A logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the impact of a number of factors (both individually and together) on the likelihood of men receiving no active treatment within twelve months of the diagnosis (i.e. managed with active surveillance/watchful waiting). RESULTS Trend analysis showed that over time: (1) men in SA and Victoria are being diagnosed at older age in 2013, 66.1 (SD = 9.7) years compared to 2009 (64.5 (SD = 9.7)); (2) diagnostic methods and characteristics have changed with time; and (3) types of the treatments have changed, with more men having no active treatment. The majority of men were diagnosed with Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) <10 ng/mL (66 %) and Grade Group < 4 (65 %). Nearly seventy percent received radical treatment within 12 months of diagnosis, while ~20 % had no active treatment. In 14 % of cases treatment was not recorded or had not commenced. Having no active treatment was strongly associated older age, lower PSA and lower Grade Group at diagnosis, and in 2013 it was offered more frequently (more than 3 times) than in 2009 (OR = 2.63, 95 % CI: 2.16-3.22). CONCLUSIONS Findings of this study provide the first cross-jurisdictional description of PCa characteristics and management in Australia. These findings will provide benchmarking for ongoing monitoring and feedback of disease management and outcomes of PCa through the Prostate Cancer Outcomes Registry-Australia New Zealand to improve evidence-based practice.

Abstract
Background Cytoreductive surgery for metastatic prostate cancer is an emerging area of interest with a potential upside that includes local control, delayed initiation of hormone therapy, and possibly improved cancer specific survival. In order for radical prostatectomy to be an effective treatment option for men in this group, the benefits must outweigh the surgical morbidity. The aim of this study was to present a case series and assess the literature feasibility of cytoreductive surgery for men with metastatic prostate cancer. Methods A retrospective review of clinical notes was performed to identify men with metastatic prostate cancer who underwent cytoreductive surgery between 2012 and 2014 for a group of urologists at a single institution in Melbourne. Each patient was evaluated with regard to preoperative prostate-specific antigen, grade, stage, adjuvant therapy, and surgical outcomes. Results Six cases were identified. This included 1 pelvic exenteration and 5 robot-assisted radical prostatectomies. The men who underwent RARP had uncomplicated recoveries, regained continence within 3 months and remained pad-free at follow up. All patients proceeded to additional treatment of sites of metastatic disease with a variable PSA response, however, 3 of 6 men required recommencement of ADT for biochemical progression at follow up. Conclusions This data supports recent findings demonstrating that radical prostatectomy for metastatic prostate cancer is feasible. Further studies are needed to explore the role of cytoreductive surgery with regards to the potential oncological benefit.
