Abstract Introduction The European Association of Urology (EAU) recommends multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) prior to prostate biopsy for investigation of prostate cancer (CaP). Specifically, the mpMRI should be reported using the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) tool. Our study aims to externally validate the PIRADS tool over a multi-centre district general hospital. Method Retrospective review was performed on 104 consecutive patients who underwent mpMRI and subsequent cognitive transrectal ultrasound biopsy of prostate (CTRUSB) over an 18-month period. Collected mpMRI data was correlated with Gleason grading obtained through CTRUSB histology. Results On histology findings, a total of 64.4% patients (n = 67) were found to have prostate cancer with a mean PSA density (PSAD) of 0.48. Extremes of the PIRADS scoring tool showed a clear correlation. PIRADS 2 correlated to a 0% prostate cancer detection rate (PSAD 0.16), whereas PIRADS 5 correlated to 93.1% detection rate (PSAD 0.49). However, for PIRADS 3 and 4, prostate cancer detection rates were 49.8% (PSAD 0.25) and 50.9% (PSAD 0.18) respectively. Conclusions Our study substantiates the association of lesions scored as PIRADS 5 with prostate cancer detection. CTRUSB in PIRADS 2 lesions can be safely avoided. For PIRADS 3 and 4 lesions, PSAD should be considered before performing a biopsy.

Objectives. To compare prostate cancer detection rates of extended 2D versus 3D biopsies and to further assess the clinical impact of this method in day-to-day practice.Methods. We analyzed the data of a cohort of 220 consecutive patients with no prior history of prostate cancer who underwent an initial prostate biopsy in daily practice due to an abnormal PSA and/or DRE using, respectively, the classical 2D and the new 3D systems. All the biopsies were done by a single experienced operator using the same standardized protocol.Results. There was no significant difference in terms of age, total PSA, or prostate volume between the two groups. However, cancer detection rate was significantly higher using the 3D versus the 2D system, 50% versus 34% (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference while comparing the 2 groups in term of nonsignificant cancer detection.Conclusion. There is reasonable evidence demonstrating the superiority of the 3D-guided biopsies in detecting prostate cancers that would have been missed using the 2D extended protocol.

Abstract Background: The current study aimed to compare the efficacy of transition zone PSA density (TZPSAD) with traditional PSA and PSA density (PSAD), for the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) in Taiwanese males.Methods: Men with PSA between 4.0 and 20.0 ng/mL who underwent a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy between the studied period were retrospectively identified. The demographic data, PSAD and TZPSAD were calculated in all patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze the accuracy of a positive PCa diagnosis.Results: The area under the ROC (AUC) was 0.615, 0.748 and 0.746 for PSA, PSAD and TZPSAD, respectively. The best cut-off of value for TZPSAD in predicting PCa in men with a PSA of 4.0–10.0 ng/ml was 0.367 ng/ml/ml with a sensitivity of 50% and a specificity of 77.5%. In men with a PSA of 10.1–20.0 ng/ml, the best cut-off value was 0.454 ng/ml, with a sensitivity of 74.8% and specificity of 70.9%.Conclusion: The use of TZPSAD can improve the efficiency and specificity of PSA for the diagnosis of PCa in Taiwanese men with PSA 4.0–20.0 ng/ml. TZPSAD efficiency was similar to PSAD but TZPSAD had better cancer specificity.
