We used OligoFISH probes for aneuploidy detection in voided urine from 50 patients obtained after digital rectal exam (DRE) with pressure. Our goal was to find a prostate cancer screening method better than PSA and prostate biopsy. Aneuploidy, an abnormal number of chromosomes, is a common hallmark of cancer, including prostate cancer. We analyzed the karyotype of 100 cases of prostate carcinoma from Mitelman’s database and other bibliography and identified chromosomes Y, 7, 10, 20, 6, 8, 13, 16 and 18 to be polysomic in most prostate carcinoma cases. METHODS Fifty patients scheduled to undergo prostate biopsy were recruited. Subjects signed informed consent and received a DRE with pressure by the urologist, the first urine was collected and slides were prepared. We have shown previously that this collection method yields a sample containing 65% prostate cells. Slides were fixed in Carnoy and aged on a hot plate before undergoing our proprietary room temperature pretreatments and 10 minute hybridization with two 4-color OligoFISH probe panels covering 8 chromosomes: Y, 6, 7, 8, 10, 16, 18 and 20. After a room temperature wash, 500 cells were scored for each set of probes. Results were compared to biopsy and follow-up results. RESULTS Both the A (6, Y, 10, 8) and B (7, 16, 18, 20) probe panels were excellent in differentiating benign vs. cancer. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.88 and 0.89, respectively. Both panels had exceptional clinical sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 75 and 88%, respectively. In differentiating low grade (Gleason Score ≤ 6) from high grade (Gleason score > 6) lesions, the AUC was 0.61 and 0.59, respectively. Both panels had specificity of 69 and 71% and sensitivity of 60 and 71% between low grade and high grade lesions. As seen in the literature, chromosome Y gains were the most informative in identifying high grade lesions. CONCLUSIONS Although this study includes a small sample (50 individuals), the results are very encouraging with regard to pursuing a full clinical trial. Use of this minimally invasive test could dramatically decrease the number of transrectal biopsies performed on men with a benign condition of the prostate. © 2014FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 191Issue 4SApril 2014Page: e822 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2014MetricsAuthor Information Jason Hafron More articles by this author Mike Gildea More articles by this author Josh Kahl More articles by this author Rima Aljundi More articles by this author Jackie Day More articles by this author Paola Yumpo More articles by this author Peggy Morgan More articles by this author Michael Lutz More articles by this author J.
