To assess the value of risk-stratification based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and prostate-specific antigen density (PSA-D) in reducing unnecessary biopsies without missing Gleason pattern 4 prostate cancer in men on active surveillance (AS).
In all, 210 men on AS with Gleason score 3 + 3 prostate cancer received a first MRI and if indicated [Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score ≥3] targeted biopsy (TBx) using MRI-transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) fusion. The MRI was performed 3 months after diagnosis (group A: n = 97), at confirmatory biopsy (group B: n = 39) or at surveillance biopsy after one or more repeat TRUS-guided systematic biopsies (TRUS-Bx) (group C: n = 74). The primary outcome was upgrading to Gleason score ≥3 + 4 prostate cancer based on MRI ± TBx in groups A, B and C. Biopsy outcomes were stratified for the overall PI-RADS score and PSA-D to identify a subgroup of men in whom a biopsy could have been avoided as no Gleason score upgrading was detected.
In all, 134/210 (64%) men had a positive MRI and 51/210 (24%) men had Gleason score upgrading based on MRI-TBx. The percentage of Gleason score upgrading based on MRI-TBx was 23% (22/97), 23% (9/39) and 27% (20/74) in respectively groups A, B and C. Additional Gleason score upgrading detected by TRUS-Bx occurred in 8% (3/39) of men in group B and 6% (1/17) of men who received TRUS-Bx in group C. No Gleason score upgrading was detected by MRI-TBx in men with a PI-RADS score of 3 and a PSA-D of <0.15 ng/mL (n = 15), nor by TRUS-Bx in men with a PI-RADS score of 1-3 and a PSA-D of <0.15 ng/mL (n = 15).
At least one out of five men on AS with Gleason score 3 + 3 prostate cancer at diagnostic TRUS-Bx show Gleason score upgrading based on first MRI ± TBx at baseline, confirmatory or surveillance biopsy. Men with a PI-RADS score of 1-3 and PSA-D of <0.15 ng/mL did not show Gleason score upgrading at MRI ± TBx or TRUS-Bx at each time point of surveillance. Thus risk-stratification based on PI-RADS and PSA-D may reduce unnecessary follow-up biopsy procedures in men on AS.
评估基于磁共振成像(MRI)和前列腺特异性抗原密度(PSA-D)的风险分层在减少不必要活检方面的价值,同时避免在接受主动监测(AS)的男性中漏诊 Gleason 分级 4 级前列腺癌。
共有 210 例 Gleason 评分 3+3 的前列腺癌患者接受 AS 治疗,均接受了首次 MRI 检查,若有指征[前列腺影像报告和数据系统(PI-RADS)评分≥3],则采用 MRI-经直肠超声(TRUS)融合引导下的靶向活检(TBx)。MRI 在诊断后 3 个月进行(A 组:n = 97)、确诊活检时进行(B 组:n = 39)或在一次或多次重复 TRUS 引导下的系统活检(TRUS-Bx)后的监测活检时进行(C 组:n = 74)。主要结局是 A、B 和 C 组中基于 MRI±TBx 将 Gleason 评分升级至≥3+4 级前列腺癌。根据总体 PI-RADS 评分和 PSA-D 对活检结果进行分层,以确定一组可避免活检的男性亚组,因为未检测到 Gleason 评分升级。
共有 134/210(64%)的男性 MRI 结果为阳性,51/210(24%)的男性基于 MRI-TBx 出现 Gleason 评分升级。A、B 和 C 组中基于 MRI-TBx 的 Gleason 评分升级百分比分别为 23%(22/97)、23%(9/39)和 27%(20/74)。B 组中 8%(3/39)的男性以及 C 组中接受 TRUS-Bx 的 6%(1/17)的男性通过 TRUS-Bx 检测到额外的 Gleason 评分升级。PI-RADS 评分为 3 且 PSA-D<0.15 ng/mL 的男性(n = 15)未通过 MRI-TBx 检测到 Gleason 评分升级,PI-RADS 评分为 1-3 且 PSA-D<0.15 ng/mL 的男性(n = 15)也未通过 TRUS-Bx 检测到 Gleason 评分升级。
在诊断性 TRUS-Bx 时 Gleason 评分 3+3 的前列腺癌患者中,至少五分之一接受 AS 治疗的男性在基线、确诊或监测活检时基于首次 MRI±TBx 出现 Gleason 评分升级。PI-RADS 评分为 1-3 且 PSA-D<0.15 ng/mL 的男性在监测的每个时间点,MRI±TBx 或 TRUS-Bx 均未出现 Gleason 评分升级。因此,基于 PI-RADS 和 PSA-D 的风险分层可能会减少接受 AS 治疗男性不必要的后续活检程序。
