Background Multiparametric MRI has led to increased detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Micro-US is being investigated for csPCa detection. Purpose To compare multiparametric MRI and micro-US in detecting csPCa (grade group ≥2) and to determine the proportion of MRI nodules visible at micro-US for real-time targeted biopsy. Materials and methods This prospective, single-center trial enrolled biopsy-naive men with suspected prostate cancer (PCa) between May 2019 and September 2020. All patients underwent multiparametric MRI followed by micro-US; findings at both were interpreted in a blinded fashion, followed by targeted biopsy and nontargeted systematic biopsy using micro-US. Proportions were compared using the exact McNemar test. The differences in proportions were calculated. Results Ninety-four men (median age, 61 years; IQR, 57-68 years) were included. MRI- and micro-US-targeted biopsy depicted csPCa in 37 (39%) and 33 (35%) of the 94 men, respectively ( = .22); clinically insignificant PCa in 14 (15%) and 15 (16%) ( > .99); and cribriform and/or intraductal PCa in 14 (15%) and 13 (14%) ( > .99). The MRI- plus micro-US-targeted biopsy pathway depicted csPCa in 38 of the 94 (40%) men. The addition of nontargeted systematic biopsy to MRI- plus micro-US-targeted biopsy did not enable identification of any additional men with csPCa but did help identify nine additional men with clinically insignificant PCa ( = .04). Biopsy was avoided in 32 of the 94 men (34%) with MRI and nine of the 94 men (10%) with micro-US ( < .001). Among 93 MRI targets, 62 (67%) were prospectively visible at micro-US. Conclusion MRI and micro-US showed similar rates of prostate cancer detection, but more biopsies were avoided with the MRI pathway than with micro-US, with no benefit of adding nontargeted systematic biopsy to the MRI- plus micro-US-targeted biopsy pathway. Most MRI lesions were prospectively visible at micro-US, allowing real-time targeted biopsy. ClinicalTrials.gov registration no.: NCT03938376 © RSNA, 2022
背景 多参数 MRI 提高了临床显著前列腺癌(csPCa)的检出率。微超声(micro-US)正被用于 csPCa 的检测。目的 比较多参数 MRI 和 micro-US 在检测 csPCa(分级组≥2)方面的性能,并确定 MRI 结节在 micro-US 下实时靶向活检的可见比例。
材料与方法 本前瞻性、单中心研究纳入了 2019 年 5 月至 2020 年 9 月间疑似前列腺癌(PCa)的活检初筛阴性男性。所有患者均行多参数 MRI 检查,然后行 micro-US 检查;MRI 和 micro-US 检查结果均以盲法进行解读,然后行 MRI 和 micro-US 引导的靶向活检和非靶向系统活检。采用确切 McNemar 检验比较比例,计算比例差异。
结果 94 例男性纳入研究(中位年龄 61 岁,IQR:57-68 岁)。MRI 和 micro-US 靶向活检分别检出 37 例(39%)和 33 例(35%)的 csPCa( =.22),检出 14 例(15%)和 15 例(16%)的临床意义不显著 PCa( >.99),检出 14 例(15%)和 13 例(14%)的筛状和/或管内 PCa( >.99)。MRI 和 micro-US 靶向活检联合检出 38 例(40%)csPCa。在 MRI 和 micro-US 靶向活检联合的基础上增加非靶向系统活检未能检出更多 csPCa,但确实检出了 9 例临床意义不显著的 PCa( =.04)。94 例男性中,32 例(34%)行 MRI 检查,9 例(10%)行 micro-US 检查,均避免了活检( <.001)。93 个 MRI 靶标中,62 个(67%)在 micro-US 下可预期显示。
结论 MRI 和 micro-US 检出前列腺癌的检出率相似,但 MRI 途径的活检数量减少,与 micro-US 相比,避免了更多的活检,而在 MRI 和 micro-US 靶向活检联合的基础上增加非靶向系统活检并无获益。大多数 MRI 病变在 micro-US 下可预期显示,从而可实时行靶向活检。
