Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPCa) by systematic (SB) and target biopsy (TB) in men with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System - PIRADS 5; and the need for SB in this population. METHODS: We identified consecutive patients with PIRADS 5 lesion on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI; 3T, T2W, DWI, ADC, DCE) undergoing prostate biopsy (PBx) for suspicion of PCa, from our PBx database (IRB# HS-13–00663). Patients underwent mpMRI followed by 12-core SB and at least two TB cores per PIRADS 5 lesion. All MRIs were re-reviewed by an experienced radiologist. PBx were performed by an expert urologist using an MRI-transrectal ultrasound fusion system (Koelis). Each core-biopsy was labeled individually and interpreted according to ISUP Grade Group (GG) standards. Men with prior treatment for PCa or poor-quality MRI were excluded. The positive predictive value (PPV) of PIRADS 5 on MRI for CSPCa (GG ≥2) detection on PBx was analyzed. PSA density (PSAD) was calculated by dividing PSA by prostate volume on MRI. RESULTS: A total of 124 patients met inclusion criteria. The median (IQR) age, PSAD, number of positive cores, cancer core length and percent were: 69Y (64-75), 0.23ng/ml/cc (0.13-0.36), 7 (5-9), 12mm (9-15) and 90% (70-95), respectively. The CSPCa detection rate for SB+TB, TB and SB was: 88%, 82% and 65%, respectively. SB added 6% CSPCa detection to TB. The PPV for SB + TB of PIRADS 5 for any GG PCa and for CSPCa was 95% and 88%. Only 6 (6/124 = 5%) patients were not diagnosed with PCa on PBx: 2 with granuloma, 2 HGPIN, 1 focal inflammation, 1 benign prostatic tissue, but with metastatic PCa on pelvic lymph node biopsy. Considering only patients with PSAD>0.15ng/ml/cc (N = 86; 68% of the entire cohort), the CSPCa detection rate for SB+TB, TB and SB was: 95%, 92% and 72%. SB added 3% CSPCa detection to TB. Three (3/86=3.5%) patients with PSAD>0.15ng/ml/cc were diagnosed with CSPCa only on SB, and GG 1 PCa on TB. Had they been diagnosed with GG 1 on TB alone; these patients would not meet criteria for active surveillance because of high PSA or large cancer volume. The PPV for SB + TB of PIRADS 5 for any GG PCa and for CSPCa in men with PSAD>0.15ng/ml/cc was 98% and 95%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: PIRADS 5 on mpMRI showed high positive predictive value for CSPCa on prostate biopsy. In those with PSAD>0.15ng/ml/cc, systematic biopsy marginally increased CSPCa, but not overall PCa detection in comparison to target biopsy alone. Systematic biopsy didn’t affect patients’ management and could be omitted on this population.
