Prediction of adverse pathology after radical prostatectomy on MPMRI in the PIRADS v2 era.

Abstract

121 Background: As the use of MRI in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) becomes more established, knowledge of its utility as a prognostic tool is needed to better counsel patients. Here, we aim to assess the ability of mpMRI to predict adverse pathologic factors, such as extraprostatic extension (EPE), seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) or lymph node involvement (LNI) on final pathology after radical prostatectomy (RP). Methods: A prospectively maintained database was queried for all men who underwent mpMRI with current PI-RADS v2 scoring system, MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy (FBx), and RP at our institution (n = 112). Patient demographics, clinical data, imaging and pathology were recorded. Patients were stratified by presence of adverse pathology (AP), defined as EPE, SVI or LNI. Statistical analyses were used to identify mpMRI characteristics predictive of AP using STATA 13. Results: Patients with adverse pathology were middle aged, predominantly caucasian, and significantly higher PSA at baseline (Table 1). Having a PI-RADS 5 lesion was positively associated with AP (adjusted OR = 4.37, 95% CI = 1.20-15.87, p = 0.02). Mean lesion diameter on mpMRI was greater in patients with AP (p < 0.01). However, number of lesions (p = 0.12) and prostate volume on mpMRI (p = 0.88) were not associated with AP. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that features on mpMRI, particularly a PI-RADS score of 5 and large lesion diameter, are predictive of adverse pathology. This information will prove valuable in developing an imaging-based prognostic model in the era of MRI and FBx.
