Prospective PCa chemoprevention trials noted an increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer among men using 5-ARIs, and subsequent retrospective data associates 5-ARI use with delayed diagnoses and worse cancer outcomes than non-users. The objective of this study was to assess clinical characteristics and treatment types between 5-ARI users versus non-users at prostate biopsy and PCa diagnosis. METHODS: Men undergoing prostate biopsy at our institution between January 2018–December 2021 were retrospectively reviewed for clinical and demographic data. Patients with previously diagnosed PCa were excluded. For categorical demographic or biopsy variables, Chi-square test was used to determine if there is a significant association between these variables and 5-ARI usage. For continuous demographic variables, quantile regression was used to compare the medians between 5-ARI users and non-users. False discovery rate (FDR) adjusted P value was used for multiple tests. RESULTS: Among 842 patients, 83 men were using 5-ARIs at time of biopsy (Table 1). Demographic characteristics including age, race, marital status, BMI, or family history were similar across the two cohorts. PSA was greater among 5-ARI users (p=.054). At PCa diagnosis, 5-ARI users tended to have higher clinical T stage (p<0.0001) and NCCN risk group stratification (p=.0119). Gleason Grade Group (p=0.372), prostate volume (p=.1838), DRE (p=.5849), and treatment type (p>.05 for all) were not statistically different between users and non-users. CONCLUSIONS: While not emphasized in common risk calculators, pre-diagnostic use of 5-ARI should be considered when deciding to biopsy. Our findings demonstrate 5-ARI usage associated with more advanced clinical T stage and higher NCCN risk though not Gleason Grade, suggesting that 5-ARI is a risk factor to consider at referral and highlighting the need to optimize diagnostic care for 5-ARI users.
