To determine the association among prostate cancer gene 3 (PCA3) score, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) grade and Gleason score, in a cohort of patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA), undergoing magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasonography fusion software-based targeted prostate biopsy (TBx) after a previous negative randomised 'standard' biopsy (SBx).
In all, 282 patients who underwent TBx after previous negative SBx and a PCA3 urine assay, were enrolled. The associations between PCA3 score/PI-RADS and PCA3 score/Gleason score were investigated by K-means clustering, a receiver operating characteristic analysis and binary logistic regression.
The PCA3 score difference for the negative vs positive TBx cohorts was highly statistically significant. A 1-unit increase in the PCA3 score was associated to a 2.4% increased risk of having a positive TBx result. A PCA3 score of >80 and a PI-RADS grade of ≥4 were independent predictors of a positive TBx. The association between the PCA3 score and PI-RADS grade was statistically significant (the median PCA3 score for PI-RADS grade groups 3, 4, and 5 was 58, 104, and 146, respectively; P = 0.006). A similar pattern was detected for the relationship between the PCA3 score and Gleason score; an increasing PCA3 score was associated with a worsening Gleason score (median PCA3 score equal to 62, 105, 132, 153, 203, and 322 for Gleason Score 3+4, 4+3, 4+4, 4+5, 5+4, and 5+5, respectively; P < 0.001).
TBx improved PCA3 score diagnostic and prognostic performance for prostate cancer. The PCA3 score was directly associated both with biopsy Gleason score and PI-RADS grade: notably, in the 'indeterminate' PI-RADS grade 3 subgroup.
在一组前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)升高、先前随机“标准”活检(SBx)结果为阴性后接受基于磁共振成像/超声融合软件的靶向前列腺活检(TBx)的患者中,确定前列腺癌基因3(PCA3)评分、前列腺影像报告和数据系统(PI-RADS)分级与Gleason评分之间的关联。
总共纳入282例先前SBx结果为阴性且进行了PCA3尿液检测后接受TBx的患者。通过K均值聚类、受试者工作特征分析和二元逻辑回归研究PCA3评分/PI-RADS以及PCA3评分/Gleason评分之间的关联。
阴性与阳性TBx队列的PCA3评分差异具有高度统计学意义。PCA3评分每增加1个单位,TBx结果为阳性的风险增加2.4%。PCA3评分>80和PI-RADS分级≥4是TBx结果为阳性的独立预测因素。PCA3评分与PI-RADS分级之间的关联具有统计学意义(PI-RADS分级3、4和5组的PCA3评分中位数分别为58、104和146;P = 0.006)。PCA3评分与Gleason评分之间的关系也呈现类似模式;PCA3评分增加与Gleason评分恶化相关(Gleason评分3+4、4+3、4+4、4+5、5+4和5+5对应的PCA3评分中位数分别为62、105、132、153、203和322;P < 0.001)。
TBx提高了PCA3评分对前列腺癌的诊断和预后性能。PCA3评分与活检Gleason评分和PI-RADS分级均直接相关:特别是在“不确定”的PI-RADS 3级亚组中。
