286 Background: A prostate specific antigen density (PSAD) threshold of 0.15 ng/ml2 have been suggested for significant cancer detection in PI-RADS 3 lesions to avoid unnecessary magnetic resonance imaging targeted biopsy (MRI-TB) of these lesions. However, the performance of this threshold in African American (AA) patients is not well characterized. Methods: We analyzed our institutional data base of MRI-TB to identify the rate of significant prostate cancer (Pca) detection in PI-RADS3 lesions in AA patients stratified by PSAD threshold of < 0.15 vs. ≥0.15 ng/ml2 and lesion size of < 1 cm vs ≥ 1 cm. Significant prostate cancer was defined as Gleason grade group 2 or higher on MRI-TB of the PI-RADS 3 lesion. Results: Of 768 patients included in the database, 211 (27.5%) patients identified themselves as AAs. Mean age of AA patients was 63 years and mean PSAD was 0.21. Sixty nine (32.7%) AA patients were found to have PI-RADS 3 lesions. Mean PSAD of AA patients with PI-RADS 3 lesions was 0.21 ng/ml2 as well. Fifty percent of AA patients with PI-RADS 3 lesions had PSAD ≥0.15 ng/ml2. Significant Pca detection rate for AA patients with PI-RADS 3 lesions was 9% for PSAD of ≥ 0.15 vs. 0.03% percent for AA patients with PSAD < 0.15 ng/ml2 (OR 7.056, CI 1.017-167.9, P=0.04). Stratification by lesion size (< 1 cm vs. > 1 cm) resulted in missing 0% percentage of significant Pca when only AA patients with PSAD ≥ 0.15 ng/ml2 and lesion size ≥ 1 cm received MRI-TB. Conclusions: We report on the performance of a reported PSAD density threshold in detecting significant Pca in one of the largest series of AA patients receiving MRI-TB of the prostate. Our results have direct clinical implications when counseling AA patients with PI-RADS 3 lesion on whether they should undergo MRI-TB of such lesions.

Objective. The study investigates the prostate-specific antigen threshold for adding targeted, software-based, magnetic resonance imaging-ultrasound fusion biopsy during a standard 12-core biopsy in biopsy-naïve patients. It secondarily explores whether the targeted biopsy is necessary in setting of abnormal digital rectal examination. Methods. 260 patients with suspected localized prostate cancer with no prior biopsy underwent prostate magnetic resonance imaging and were found to have Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score ≥   3 lesion(s). All 260 patients underwent standard 12-core biopsy and targeted biopsy during the same session. Clinically significant cancer was Gleason ≥ 3 + 4. Results. Percentages of patients with prostate-specific antigen 0–1.99, 2–3.99, 4–4.99, 5–5.99, 6–9.99, and ≥ 10 were 3.0%, 4.7%, 20.8%, 16.9%, 37.7%, and 16.9%, respectively. Cumulative frequency of clinically significant prostate cancer increased with the addition of targeted biopsy compared with standard biopsy alone across all prostate-specific antigen ranges. The difference in clinically significant cancer detection between targeted plus standard biopsy compared to standard biopsy alone becomes statistically significant at prostate-specific antigen >4.3 ( p = 0.031 ). At this threshold, combination biopsy detected 20 clinically significant prostate cancers, while standard detected 14 with 88% sensitivity and 20% specificity. Excluding targeted biopsy in setting of a positive digital rectal exam would save 12.3% magnetic resonance imaging and miss 1.8% clinically significant cancers in our cohort. Conclusions. In biopsy-naïve patients, at prostate-specific antigen >4.3, there is a significant increase in clinically significant prostate cancer detection when targeted biopsy is added to standard biopsy. Obtaining standard biopsy alone in patients with abnormal digital rectal examinations would miss 1.8% clinically significant cancers in our cohort.
