While prostate multiparametric-magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) has improved the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPC), the complementary use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels to risk-stratify for CSPC requires further study. The objective of this project was to determine if prostate MP-MRI and PSA can provide complementary insights into CSPC risk stratification.
In an IRB-approved study, pathologic outcomes from patients who underwent MR/US fusion-targeted prostate biopsy were stratified by various parameters including PSA, PSA density (PSAD), age, race, and PI-RADS v2 score. CSPC was defined as a Gleason score ≥7. Logistic regression was used to determine odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). P values were reported as two-sided with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. ROC curves were generated for assessing the predictive value of tests and sensitivity + specificity optimization was performed to determine optimal testing cutoffs.
A total of 327 patients with 709 lesions total were analyzed. PSAD and PI-RADS scores provided complementary predictive value for diagnosis of CSPC (AUC PSAD: 0.67, PI-RADS: 0.72, combined: 0.78, p < 0.001). When controlling for PI-RADS score, age, and race, multivariate analysis showed that PSAD was independently associated with CSPC (OR 1.03 per 0.01 PSAD increase, 95% CI 1.02-105, p < 0.001). The optimal cutoff of PSAD ≥ 0.1 ng/ml/cc shows that a high versus low PSAD was roughly equivalent to an increase in 1 in PI-RADS score for the presence of CSPC (4% of PI-RADS ≤3 PSAD low, 6% of PI-RADS 3 PSAD high vs. 5% of PI-RADS 4 PSAD low, 22% of PI-RADS 4 PSAD high vs. 29% of PI-RADS 5 PSAD low, 46% of PI-RADS 5 PSAD high were found to have CSPC).
PSAD with a cutoff of 0.1 ng/ml/cc appears to be a useful marker that can stratify the risk of CSPC in a complementary manner to prostate MP-MRI.
虽然前列腺多参数磁共振成像(MP-MRI)提高了临床显著前列腺癌(CSPC)的诊断水平,但为了对 CSPC 进行风险分层,仍需要进一步研究前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平的补充作用。本项目的目的是确定前列腺 MP-MRI 和 PSA 是否可以为 CSPC 风险分层提供互补的见解。
在一项经 IRB 批准的研究中,根据 PSA、PSA 密度(PSAD)、年龄、种族和 PI-RADS v2 评分等各种参数对接受 MR/US 融合靶向前列腺活检的患者的病理结果进行分层。CSPC 的定义为 Gleason 评分≥7。使用逻辑回归确定优势比(OR)及其 95%置信区间(CI)。p 值以双侧报告,p<0.05 被认为具有统计学意义。ROC 曲线用于评估测试的预测值,并进行了灵敏度+特异性优化以确定最佳测试截止值。
共分析了 327 名患者的 709 个病灶。PSAD 和 PI-RADS 评分对 CSPC 的诊断具有互补的预测价值(PSAD 的 AUC:0.67,PI-RADS:0.72,联合:0.78,p<0.001)。在控制 PI-RADS 评分、年龄和种族后,多变量分析表明 PSAD 与 CSPC 独立相关(每增加 0.01 PSAD,OR 为 1.03,95%CI 为 1.02-105,p<0.001)。PSAD≥0.1ng/ml/cc 的最佳截止值表明,高 PSAD 与 PI-RADS 评分增加 1 分大致相当,与 CSPC 的存在相关(PI-RADS≤3 PSAD 低的为 4%,PI-RADS 3 PSAD 高的为 6%,PI-RADS 4 PSAD 低的为 5%,PI-RADS 4 PSAD 高的为 22%,PI-RADS 5 PSAD 低的为 46%,PI-RADS 5 PSAD 高的为 29%)。
PSAD 的截止值为 0.1ng/ml/cc 似乎是一种有用的标志物,可以与前列腺 MP-MRI 以互补的方式对 CSPC 的风险进行分层。
