We aim to evaluate the clinical utility of 4Kscore with mpMRI, TRUS and PSAD in detecting high-grade PCa and avoiding unnecessary biopsies. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of a patient cohort with normal digital rectal exam (DRE) and PSA 2.5-20 referred to the University of California, San Francisco between 2016 and 2020 for biomarker based prostate cancer screening. High-grade PCa was defined as Gleason Grade group (GG)≥2. The frequency of avoided biopsies was determined as the number of negative tests divided by the total cohort. The frequency of missed GG≥2 PCa was determined as the number of false negative tests divided by all high-grade diagnoses. RESULTS: A total of 652 men met the inclusion criteria and of these 490 (75.2%) underwent TRUS, 465 (40.6%) had PSAD, 465 (71.3%) had mpMRI and 366 (56.1%) underwent biopsy. The mean age was 65.5 (SD 7.54) and the median PSA was 7.87 (IQR 4.8–9.0). The median 4Kscore was 15.0 (IQR 7–31). Limiting biopsy to men with a 4Kscore ≥7.5 would have avoided 13.1% of biopsies while missing 3.6% high grade PCa. 4Kscore ≥7.5 combined with PI-RADS ≥3 would have only missed 0.7% high grade PCa but only avoided 2.45% unnecessary biopsies. Combining 4Kscore ≥20 with PSAD ≥0.15 and PI-RADS ≥3 however would have led to only missing 2.2% high-grade PCa while avoiding 11.5% biopsies. Combining 4Kscore ≥7.5 with PSAD ≥0.15 and TRUS ≥2a would have also missed very few high-grade PCa while avoiding the use of mpMRI (Table 1). CONCLUSIONS: In this contemporary cohort, combining the 4Kscore and mpMRI would have helped detect almost all high-grade PCas but avoided few biopsies. Higher 4Kscore thresholds can be used in combination with TRUS, PSAD and mpMRI to avoid more biopsies while still missing very few high-grade PCas. Such screening algorithms are likely already widely used in clinical practice and should be validated with prospective trials.
