682 Pre-clinic mpMRI Prostate for Suspected Localised Significant Prostate Cancer – Incidental Findings and Outcomes

Abstract

Abstract Aim Two week wait pathways demand rapid investigation of patients with suspected prostate cancer. To facilitate this, mpMRI prostate imaging is now routinely organised for patients whom meet specific criteria, without prior physical review by an urologist. We sought to establish what incidental findings were amongst this patient group and whether management was affected. Method All patients referred between 1/4/2019 – 30/4/20 on a suspected prostate cancer pathway to the Leicester General Hospital were included with those coded to have had pre-clinic MRI selected. Results During this period 1487 patients were referred on the pathway of which 482 were coded as having has pre-clinic MRI. 8 patients were excluded due to incorrect coding leaving 474 to be analysed. 121 patients had incidental findings mentioned in the report, of these a higher proportion did not have prostate cancer (69%). There were just 11 (2%) significant findings that required further investigation or intervention. These included colorectal lesions, primary bone lesions, suspected bladder cancers and urinary tract calculi. Of this group 3 patients had prostate cancer. Of note 13% of these patients were noted to have diverticular disease and 6% had herniae noted although none required emergent treatment. In this series 32% of patients were confirmed to have prostate cancer with 67.1% of MRI scan reported as PIRADS 3-5. Conclusions Pre-clinic MRI prostate facilitates rapid investigation for suspected prostate cancer. There is a small chance of establishing a significant incidental finding which is slightly more common in the non-cancer group.
