Multi-parametric MRI of the prostate (mpMRI-P) offers a method to detect these missed lesions, and fusion biopsy enables sampling of them. Here we investigated the utility of mpMRI-P in patients on AS. Methods We reviewed the charts of 815 patients on AS for localized CaP at the Vancouver Prostate Centre. Of these patients 110 had a mpMRI-P prior to repeat TRUSBx, and selected patients underwent MRI-TRUS fusion biopsy based on the mpMRI-P findings, in addition to a standard biopsy. The results of fusion biopsy cores were compared to the standard biopsy cores, and the role of mpMRI-P in altering patient management was evaluated. Results The median time on AS was 2.47 years (range: 0.6 - 6.9) at the time of the mpMRI-P. Gleason 3+3 cancer was found on initial biopsy in 98 (89%) and Gleason 3+4 in 12 (11%). mpMRI-P detected 112 suspicious lesion in 72 (65%) patients. Of these, 80 (72%) were PIRADS 3 lesions and 32(28%) PIRADS 4 or 5. Cancer and significant cancer (any Gleason pattern 4) were detected in 20 (25%) and 9 (11%) of PIRADS 3 lesions, and in 20 (61%) and 13 (39%) of PIRADS 4/5 lesions, respectively. Fusion biopsy was carried out in 65 of these patients (37 true and 28 cognitive). Gleason grade progression compared to previous biopsy was detected in 11 (10%) patients in the fusion cores, in 7 (6.3%) patients in the standard cores, and in 3 (2.7%) patients in both fusion and standard cores. Two patients discontinued AS due to size increase of a lesion on mpMRI-P. AS was discontinued due to PSA elevation in 1 case and patient choice in 2 cases. mpMRI-P with fusion biopsy was responsible for the determination of disease progression in 13(11.8%) cases. Conclusions These preliminary findings suggest that mpMRI-P with subsequent fusion biopsy enhances the identification of AS patients requiring definitive treatment. Longer follow-up in a larger series of patients is needed to determine the real value of mpMRI-P and subsequent fusion biopsy in the management of patients on AS. © 2014FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 191Issue 4SApril 2014Page: e605 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2014MetricsAuthor Information Hamidreza Abdi More articles by this author Triona Walshe More articles by this author Farshad Pourmalek More articles by this author Jonathan Aning More articles by this author Homi Zargar More articles by this author Alison C.
