Objective. To compare prostate cancer detection rates (CDRs) and pathology results with targeted prostate biopsy (TB) and systematic prostate biopsy (SB) in biopsy-naive men. Methods. An in-patient control study of 82 men undergoing SB and subsequent TB in case of positive prostate MRI between 2015 and 2017 in the Jeroen Bosch Hospital, the Netherlands. Results. Prostate cancer (PCa) was detected in 54.9% with 70.7% agreement between TB and SB. Significant PCa (Gleason score ≥7) was detected in 24.4%. The CDR with TB and SB was 35.4% and 48.8%, respectively (p=0.052). The CDR of significant prostate cancer with TB and SB was both 20.7%. Clinically significant pathology upgrading occurred in 7.3% by adding TB to SB and 22.0% by adding SB to TB. Conclusions. There is no statistically significant difference between CDRs of SB and TB. Both SB and TB miss significant PCas. Moreover, pathology upgrading occurred more often by adding SB to TB than vice versa. This indicates that the omission of SB in this study population might not be justified.

15 Background: To determine the effect of learning curves and changes in fusion platform during 9 years of NCI’s experience with multiparametric MRI (mpMRI)/TRUS fusion biopsy. Methods: A review was performed of a prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing mpMRI followed by fusion biopsy (Fbx) and systematic biopsy (Sbx) from 2007−2016. The patients were stratified based on the timing of first biopsy in 3 groups. Cohort 1 included patients biopsied between 7/2007−12/2010, accounting for learning curve at our institution. Cohort 2 included patients biopsied from 1/2011 up to the debut of UroNav (Invivo) platform in 5/2013. Cohort 3 included patients biopsied after 5/2013. Clinically significant (CS) disease was defined as Gleason 7 (3+4) or higher. Cancer detection rates (CDR) between Sbx and Fbx during different time periods were compared using McNemar’s test. Age and PSA standardized CDRs were calculated for comparison between 3 cohorts. Results: 1528 patients were included in the study with 219, 549 and 761 patients included in 3 respective cohorts. Mean age, PSA and race distribution were similar across 3 cohorts. In cohort 1 there was no significant difference between CDR of CS disease by Fbx (24.7%) vs Sbx (21.5%), p = 0.377. Fbx was significantly better than Sbx in detection of CS disease in cohort 2 and cohort 3 (31.5% vs 25.3%, p = 0.001; 36.5% vs 30.2%, p < 0.001, respectively). There was significant decline in detection of low risk disease by Fbx compared to Sbx in the same period (cohort 2: 14.2% vs 20.9%, p < 0.001; cohort 3: 12.5% vs 19.5%, p < 0.001). Age and PSA standardized CDR of CS cancer by Fbx increased significantly between each successive cohort (cohort 1 and 2: 5.2%, 95% CI [2.1-8.5]), 2 and 3 (5.2%, 95% CI [1.8-8.6]). Conclusions: Our results show that after an early learning period using Fbx, CS prostate cancer was detected at significantly higher rates with Fbx than with Sbx, and low risk disease was detected at lower rates. Advances in software allowed for even greater detection of CS disease in the last cohort. This study shows that accuracy of Fbx is dependent on multiple factors; surgeon/radiologist experience and software improvements together produce improved accuracy.

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 combination of multi-parametric MRI to locate and define suspected lesions together with their being targeted by an MRI-guided prostate biopsy has succeeded in increasing the detection rate of clinically significant disease and lowering the detection rate of non-significant prostate cancer. In this work we investigate the urologist’s learning curve of in-bore MRI-guided prostate biopsy which is considered to be a superior biopsy technique. Materials and methods Following Helsinki approval by The Chaim Sheba Medical Center ethics committee in accordance with The Sheba Medical Center institutional guidelines (5366-28-SMC) we retrospectively reviewed 110 IB-MRGpBs performed from 6/2016 to 1/2019 in a single tertiary center. All patients had a prostate multi-parametric MRI finding of at least 1 target lesion (prostate imaging reporting and data system [PI-RADS] score ≥ 3). We analyzed biopsy duration and clinically significant prostate cancer detection of targeted sampling in 2 groups of 55 patients each, once by a urologist highly trained in IB-MRGpBs and again by a urologist untrained in IB-MRGpBs. These two parameters were compared according to operating urologist and chronologic order. Results The patients’ median age was 68 years (interquartile range 62–72). The mean prostate-specific antigen level and prostate size were 8.6 ± 9.1 ng/d and 53 ± 27 cc, respectively. The mean number of target lesions was 1.47 ± 0.6. Baseline parameters did not differ significantly between the 2 urologists’ cohorts. Overall detection rates of clinically significant prostate cancer were 19%, 55%, and 69% for PI-RADS 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Clinically significant cancer detection rates did not differ significantly along the timeline or between the 2 urologists. The average duration of IB-MRGpB targeted sampling was 28 ± 15.8 min, correlating with the number of target lesions (p < 0.0001), and independent of the urologist’s expertise. Eighteen cases defined the cutoff for the procedure duration learning curve (p < 0.05). Conclusions Our data suggest a very short learning curve for IB-MRGpB-targeted sampling duration, and that clinically significant cancer detection rates are not influenced by the learning curve of this technique.

156 Background: To assess clinical outcomes after transperineal template-guided prostate biopsy (TTPB) including detection rates, pathologic features, clinical relevance and morbidity. Methods: Forty eight men underwent TTPB. All patients had at least one (range 1–4) prior negative transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy and no prostate cancer diagnosis. The mean pre-biopsy PSA of the entire group was 13.1 ng/ml (range 4.5–46.4). The mean number of cores sampled was 24.7 (range 22–28). Results: The rate of prostate cancer detection was 52% (25/48). Clinically significant prostate cancer, defined as intermediate (n=9) and high (n=11) risk disease using D’Amico criteria, was found in 80% (20/25) of positive biopsy cases. Seventy-two percent of all positive biopsy cores were anatomically located in the anterior or anterolateral positions within the prostate. Urinary retention requiring catheterization after the procedure developed in 6% (3/48) of patients. No patients developed rectal or infectious complications after TTPB. Conclusions: TTPB is a well tolerated procedure resulting in a significant rate of cancer detection. Biopsies were frequently found to be positive in the anterior half of the prostate. Clinically significant disease was found in a high percentage of patients.

Aim We aimed to compare the 18 and 16-Gauge (G) needles used in transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided needle biopsy for cancer detection rates and complications using the Clavien Scoring System. Materials and Methods The 80 patients who were included in the study were randomized and divided into two groups. Group 1 (n = 36) had a TRUS-guided prostate biopsy with an 18G needle and Group 2 had a 16G needle (n = 44). The hematuria, bleeding assessment, and infection events were evaluated on a daily basis. These complications were graded according to the Clavien Scoring. Results In Group 1, only five (13%) patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer, and three patients were reported to have atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP). In Group 2, 16 (36%) patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer and one patient was reported to have ASAP. The difference in the prostate cancer detection rate between the groups was statistically significant. According to the Clavien grading system, the complications were at the Grade 1 level in 25 people in Group 1 in 29 people in Group 2. Grade 2 level complications were not observed in either group. While one person was Grade 3 in Group 1, two people in Group 2 had this rate. There were no significant differences between the groups. Conclusions We found that cancer detection rate increased by increasing the thickness of the needle used in TRUS-guided prostate biopsy without any increase in the complications.

Background: Systematic biopsy (SB) according to the Ginsburg scheme (GBS) is widely used to complement MRI-targeted biopsy (MR-TB) for optimizing the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (sPCa). Knowledge of the GBS’s blind sectors where sPCa is missed is crucial to improve biopsy strategies. Methods: We analyzed cancer detection rates in 1084 patients that underwent MR-TB and SB. Cancerous lesions that were missed or underestimated by GBS were re-localized onto a prostate map encompassing Ginsburg sectors and blind-sectors (anterior, central, basodorsal and basoventral). Logistic regression analysis (LRA) and prostatic configuration analysis were applied to identify predictors for missing sPCa with the GBS. Results: GBS missed sPCa in 39 patients (39/1084, 3.6%). In 27 cases (27/39, 69.2%), sPCa was missed within a blind sector, with 17/39 lesions localized in the anterior region (43.6%). Neither LRA nor prostatic configuration analysis identified predictors for missing sPCa with the GBS. Conclusions: This is the first study to analyze the distribution of sPCa missed by the GBS. GBS misses sPCa in few men only, with the majority localized in the anterior region. Adding blind sectors to GBS defined a new sector map of the prostate suited for reporting histopathological biopsy results.

AbstractTo analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with negative biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) who didn’t need prostate biopsies (PBs). A total of 1,012 male patients who underwent PBs in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2018 to November 2019, of 225 had prebiopsy negative bpMRI (defined as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS 2.1) score less than 3). The detection efficiency of clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPCa) was assessed according to age, digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate volume (PV) on bpMRI, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and PSA density (PSAD). The definition of CSPCa for Gleason score > 6. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to identify predictive factors of absent CSPCa on PBs. Moreover, absent CSPCa contained clinically insignificant prostate cancer (CIPCa) and benign result. The detection rates of present prostate cancer (PCa) and CSPCa were 27.11% and 16.44%, respectively. Patients who were diagnosed as CSPCa had an older age (P < 0.001), suspicious DRE (P < 0.001), a smaller PV (P < 0.001), higher PSA value (P = 0.008) and higher PSAD (P < 0.001) compared to the CIPCa group and benign result group. PSAD < 0.15 ng/ml/cm3 (P = 0.004) and suspicious DRE (P < 0.001) were independent predictors of absent CSPCa on BPs. The negative forecast value of bpMRI for BP detection of CSPCa increased with decreasing PSAD, mainly in patients with naive PB (P < 0.001) but not in prior negative PB patients. 25.33% of the men had the combination of negative bpMRI, PSAD < 0.15 ng/ml/cm3 and PB naive, and none had CSPCa on repeat PBs. The incidence of PB was determined, CSPCa was 1.59%, 0% and 16.67% in patients with negative bpMRI and PSAD < 0.15 ng/ml/cm3, patients with negative bpMRI, PSAD < 0.15 ng/ml/cm3 and biopsy naive and patients with negative bpMRI, PSAD < 0.15 ng/ml/cm3 and prior negative PB, separately. We found that a part of patients with negative bpMRI, a younger age, no suspicious DRE and PSAD < 0.15 ng/ml/cm3 may securely avoid PBs. Conversely PB should be considered in patients regardless of negative bpMRI, especially who with a greater age, obviously suspicious DRE, significantly increased PSA value, a significantly small PV on MRI and PSAD > 0.15 ng/ml/cm3.

Objective: To compare the performance of Likert and Prostate Imaging–Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) multiparametric (mp) MRI scoring systems for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Methods: 199 biopsy-naïve males undergoing prostate mpMRI were prospectively scored with Likert and PI-RADS systems by four experienced radiologists. A binary cut-off (threshold score ≥3) was used to analyze histological results by three groups: negative, insignificant disease (Gleason 3 + 3; iPCa), and csPCa (Gleason ≥3 +4). Lesion-level results and prostate zonal location were also compared. Results: 129/199 (64.8%) males underwent biopsy, 96 with Likert or PI-RADS score ≥3, and 21 with negative MRI. A further 12 patients were biopsied during follow-up (mean 507 days). Prostate cancer was diagnosed in 87/199 (43.7%) patients, 65 with (33.6%) csPCa. 30/92 (32.6%) patients with negative MRI were biopsied, with an NPV of 83.3% for cancer and 86.7% for csPCa. Likert and PI-RADS score differences were observed in 92 patients (46.2%), but only for 16 patients (8%) at threshold score ≥3. Likert scoring had higher specificity than PI-RADS (0.77 vs 0.66), higher area under the curve (0.92 vs 0.87, p = 0.002) and higher PPV (0.66 vs 0.58); NPV and sensitivity were the same. Likert had more five score results (58%) compared to PI-RADS (36%), but with similar csCPa detection (81.0 and 80.6% respectively). Likert demonstrated lower proportion of false positive in the predominately AFMS-involving lesions. Conclusion: Likert and PI-RADS systems both demonstrate high cancer detection rates. Likert scoring had a higher AUC with moderately higher specificity and lower positive call rate and could potentially help to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies performed. Advances in knowledge: This paper illustrates that the Likert scoring system has potential to help urologists reduce the number of prostate biopsies performed.

150 Background: Results from 12-core template mapping biopsy (Mbx) and concurrent MRI-US fusion targeted biopsy (Tbx) were compared in 118 men without prior biopsy. Methods: Between 12/2012 and 06/2015, 374 men with an indication for prostate biopsy presented to our institution and underwent pre-biopsy mpMRI followed by 12-core standard trans-rectal mapping biopsy (Mbx) and MRI-Ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy (Tbx) of lesions identified on mpMRI. The combination of Mbx and Tbx, when both occurred, constitutes a fusion biopsy (Fbx). Men who underwent both Mbx with or without Tbx using the Artemis/Pro-Fuse system with no previous biopsy were included. Patients without a lesion on MRI underwent Mbx only. Maximum Gleason scores (GS) was assigned on a per patient basis with Mbx GS available for all patients in the cohort and Tbx GS available only for patients with a lesion visible on MP-MRI. Clinically significant (CS) was defined as GS ≥3+4. GS per patient was compared by chi-square and McNemar’s test. Results: 118 men met inclusion criteria (mean age=64.9, mean PSA=11.5). Prostate cancer was detected in 64 (54%) Fbx cases. Cancer detection rates for Mbx and Tbx were 54% and 57%, respectively. In patients where Fbx identified CS cancer, Tbx was more likely to have identified the cancer than Mbx (96% vs 72%; p < 0.001). Fewer GS 6 cancers were detected by Tbx (n=7) than by Mbx (n=25), and Tbx alone would have prevented the detection of 21 (18%) cases of GS 6 disease. Conversely, more GS≥ 7 (50% of men) was detected on Tbx than on Mbx (33% of men). In total, there were 16 patients (13.5%) that were missed or understaged by Tbx, but only 4 of these patients (3%) were GS≥ 7. In contrast, there were 19 (16%) patients that were missed or understaged by Mbx, but 17 (14%) of these 19 patients harbored GS≥ 7 disease. Conclusions: In biopsy-naive men who are suspected to have prostate cancer, Tbx provides improved detection of CS prostate cancer compared with Mbx while decreasing the detection of low-grade disease. Tbx alone in biopsy-naive men should be considered if missing 3% of CS disease is acceptable. [Table: see text]
