Abstract
- Purpose: Patients with suspicion of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC) on multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) but negative or inconclusive MRI/US fusion-guided biopsy (FB) can be challenging in clinical practice. To assess the utility of MRI in-bore biopsy (IB) in patients with discordant imaging and histopathological findings after FB.<br />Methods: Consecutive patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) category 4 or 5 on mpMRI at 3T after FB without histologically confirmed csPC who underwent IB between 01/2014 and 05/2022, were retrospectively included. The primary objective was to assess the detection rate of csPC. Secondary objectives were to analyze clinical parameters, MRI parameters, and lesion localization.<br />Results: In the final cohort of 51 patients, the IB resulted in an overall detection rate of 71% for PC and 47% for csPC. Furthermore, in 55% of cases with initial low-grade PC, the Gleason score was upgraded after IB. CsPC was often detected apical and/or anterior. The detection rate for PC was 58% in PI-RADS category 4 and 94% in PI-RADS category 5 (csPC 39% and 61%, respectively). Patients with csPC had statistically significant smaller prostate volumes, a higher PI-RADS category, a higher prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD), and were older.<br />Conclusions: For a relevant proportion of patients with PI-RADS category 4 or 5 and negative or inconclusive findings on previous FB, but with persistent suspicion of csPC, a subsequent IB verified the presence of csPC. Therefore, IB can be a backup in cases of uncertainty.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
