To investigate whether serial prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may guide the utility of repeat targeted (TBx) and systematic biopsy (SBx) when monitoring men with low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) at 1-year of active surveillance (AS).
We retrospectively included 111 consecutive men with low-risk (International Society of Urological Pathology [ISUP] Grade 1) PCa, who received protocolled repeat MRI with or without TBx and repeat SBx at 1-year of AS. TBx was performed in Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score ≥3 lesions (MRI-positive men). Upgrading defined as ISUP Grade ≥2 PCa (I), Grade ≥2 with cribriform growth/intraductal carcinoma PCa (II), and Grade ≥3 PCa (III) was investigated. Upgrading detected by TBx only (not by SBx) and SBx only (not by TBx) was investigated in MRI-positive and -negative men, and related to radiological progression on MRI (Prostate Cancer Radiological Estimation of Change in Sequential Evaluation [PRECISE] score).
Overall upgrading (I) was 32% (35/111). Upgrading in MRI-positive and -negative men was 48% (30/63) and 10% (5/48) (P < 0.001), respectively. In MRI-positive men, there was upgrading in 23% (seven of 30) by TBx only and in 33% (10/30) by SBx only. Radiological progression (PRECISE score 4-5) in MRI-positive men was seen in 27% (17/63). Upgrading (I) occurred in 41% (seven of 17) of these MRI-positive men, while this was 50% (23/46) in MRI-positive men without radiological progression (PRECISE score 1-3) (P = 0.534). Overall upgrading (II) was 15% (17/111). Upgrading in MRI-positive and -negative men was 22% (14/63) and 6% (three of 48) (P = 0.021), respectively. In MRI-positive men, there was upgrading in three of 14 by TBx only and in seven of 14 by SBx only. Overall upgrading (III) occurred in 5% (five of 111). Upgrading in MRI-positive and -negative men was 6% (four of 63) and 2% (one of 48) (P = 0.283), respectively. In MRI-positive men, there was upgrading in one of four by TBx only and in two of four by SBx only.
Upgrading is significantly lower in MRI-negative compared to MRI-positive men with low-risk PCa at 1-year of AS. In serial MRI-negative men, the added value of repeat SBx at 1-year surveillance is limited and should be balanced individually against the harms. In serial MRI-positive men, the added value of repeat SBx is substantial. Based on this cohort, SBx is recommended to be performed in combination with TBx in all MRI-positive men at 1-year of AS, also when there is no radiological progression.
研究在低危前列腺癌(PCa)患者主动监测(AS) 1 年时,连续前列腺磁共振成像(MRI)是否可以指导重复靶向(TBx)和系统活检(SBx)的应用。
我们回顾性纳入了 111 例连续的低危(国际泌尿病理学会 [ISUP] 分级 1)PCa 患者,他们在 AS 1 年时接受了协议规定的重复 MRI 检查,包括或不包括 TBx 和重复 SBx。TBx 仅在 PI-RADS 评分≥3 病变(MRI 阳性男性)中进行。升级定义为 ISUP 分级≥2 PCa(I)、分级≥2 伴有筛状生长/导管内癌 PCa(II)和分级≥3 PCa(III)。在 MRI 阳性和阴性男性中,研究了仅 TBx 检测到的升级(未通过 SBx 检测到)和仅 SBx 检测到的升级(未通过 TBx 检测到),并与 MRI 上的放射学进展(前列腺癌放射学估计连续评估变化 [PRECISE] 评分)相关。
总体升级(I)为 32%(35/111)。MRI 阳性和阴性男性的升级分别为 48%(30/63)和 10%(5/48)(P<0.001)。在 MRI 阳性男性中,仅通过 TBx 升级的有 23%(7/30),仅通过 SBx 升级的有 33%(10/30)。MRI 阳性男性中观察到放射学进展(PRECISE 评分 4-5)为 27%(17/63)。这些 MRI 阳性男性中升级(I)发生在 41%(7/17),而在没有放射学进展(PRECISE 评分 1-3)的 MRI 阳性男性中为 50%(23/46)(P=0.534)。总体升级(II)为 15%(17/111)。MRI 阳性和阴性男性的升级分别为 22%(14/63)和 6%(3/48)(P=0.021)。在 MRI 阳性男性中,仅通过 TBx 升级的有 3 例,仅通过 SBx 升级的有 7 例。总体升级(III)为 5%(5/111)。MRI 阳性和阴性男性的升级分别为 6%(4/63)和 2%(1/48)(P=0.283)。在 MRI 阳性男性中,仅通过 TBx 升级的有 1 例,仅通过 SBx 升级的有 2 例。
与低危 PCa 患者 AS 1 年时的 MRI 阴性男性相比,MRI 阳性男性的升级明显更高。在连续 MRI 阴性男性中,1 年监测时重复 SBx 的附加价值有限,应根据个体情况权衡与危害的关系。在连续 MRI 阳性男性中,重复 SBx 的附加价值很大。基于该队列,建议在 AS 1 年时,所有 MRI 阳性男性都应结合 TBx 进行 SBx,即使没有放射学进展。
