IntroductionProstate-specific antigen (PSA) is a reliable biomarker for identification of prostate cancer, although a biopsy is still the gold standard for detecting prostate cancer. Similar to higher PIRADS lesions on MRI, the maximal standard uptake value (SUV max) on PSMA PET is linked to a higher likelihood of prostate cancer. Can an mpMRI in conjunction with PSMA PET Scan accurately predict prostate cancer and further trigger omission of biopsy similar to other solid organ urological malignancies?MethodsGa-68 PSMA PET and mpMRI were performed for each patient who was a part of this retrospective study. The PET-positive lesion's maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was recorded. Prostate biopsies were performed on patients who had PSMA PET avid lesions and a PIRADS score of 4 or 5. Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) was afterward performed on patients who had cancer on their prostate biopsy. The prostatectomy specimen's histopathological information was recorded. Cutoff values and correlations between the variables were determined using the ROC curves and Pearson's correlation test.ResultOn the basis of suspicious DRE findings or elevated PSA, 70 men underwent mpMRI and PET scans. PIRADS 4 patients had a median (IQR) SUVmax of 8.75 (11.95); whereas, PIRADS 5 patients had an SUVmax of 24.5 (22). The mean SUVmax for patients whose biopsies revealed no cancer was 6.25 ± 1.41. With an AUC of 0.876 on the ROC curve, it was found that there was a significant positive correlation between the results of the mpMRI and PET scans and those of the histopathological investigation. A SUVmax ≥ 8.25 on PSMA PET for a PIRADS 4/5 lesion on mpMRI will aid in correctly predicting malignancy, with a sensitivity of 82.8% and specificity of 100%.ConclusionThe findings of this study were positive and indicated that patients with a high suspicion of prostate cancer on mpMRI and PSMA PET (PIRADS ≥ 4 and SUVmax ≥ 8.25). This study substantiates the fact that a combination of mpMRI and PSMA PET can accurately predict localized prostate cancer.
