Objectives: To compare the detection rates of overall prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant PCa (csPCa) and the median percentage of cancer per biopsy core between MRI-guided In-bore and MRI-TRUS fusion-targeted biopsy (TBx). Methods: In this retrospective study, 223 patients who underwent prostate multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and subsequent MR-directed biopsy were included. For PCa and csPCa detection rate (DR), contingency tables were tested via the Pearson’s chi-squared to explore the variance of the outcome distribution. The percentage of cancer per biopsy core was tested with a two-tailed Mann-Withney test. Results: One hundred and seventeen and 106 patients underwent MRI-TRUS fusion or MRI In-bore TBx, respectively. 402 MRI biopsy targets were identified, of which 206 (51.2%) were biopsied with the MRI-TRUS TBx and 196 (48.8%) with the MRI In-bore TBx technique. Per-patient PCa and csPCa detection rates were 140/223 (62.8%) and 97/223 (43.5%), respectively. PCa-DR was 73/117 (62.4%) and 67/106 (63.2%) for MRI-TRUS and MRI In-Bore TBx (p = 0.9), while csPCa detection rate reached 50/117 (42.7%) and 47/106 (44.3%), respectively (p = 0.81). The median per-patient percentage of malignant tissue within biopsy cores was 50% (IQR: 27–65%) for PCa and 60% (IQR: 35–68%) for csPCa, with a statistically significant difference between the techniques. Conclusion No statistically significant difference in the detection rate of MRI In-bore and MRI-TRUS fusion TBx was found. MRI In-bore TBx showed higher per-core percentage of malignant cells. Advances in knowledge MRI In-bore biopsy might impact risk stratification and patient management considering the higher per-core percentage of malignant cells, especially for patients eligible for active surveillance or focal therapy.

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.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate prostate cancer detection rate of different biopsy protocols in different PSA value groups in rural China. METHODS: A total of 186 patients underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in order to determine the puncture target prior to biopsy were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients underwent 12-core SB combined with CEUS-TB. The biopsy results of different biopsy protocols were compared in patients with stratification by PSA value. RESULTS: Among the 186 patients underwent prostate biopsy, the histopathologic results revealed prostate cancer (PCa) in 117 cases (62.9%) and benign lesions in 69 cases (37.1%). The PCa detection rate between 8-core SB and 12-core SB showed no significant difference in PSA 4–10 ng/ml group, while the 12-core SB was significantly higher than CEUS-TB (44.9% versus 32.7% , P = 0.01). In PSA 10–20 ng/ml group, the significant difference was not seen between SB and CEUS-TB (50.0% versus 45.7% , P = 0.15). As for PSA greater than 20 ng/ml group, the PCa detection rate by SB was higher than CEUS-TB, but showed no statistically significance (79.1% versus 76.9% , P = 0.15). In the overall patients, the biopsy core positive rate of CEUS-TB was significantly higher than SB (97% versus 55.5% and 28.5% , P = 0.0001). CONCLUSION: The flexible use of SB combined with CEUS-TB can reduce the number of biopsy cores in higher PSA groups. It has clinical importance in the detection of PCa in different PSA value groups in rural China.

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.

Abstract Purpose PSMA imaging is frequently used for monitoring of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer. In a previous study, [18F]-JK-PSMA-7 exhibited favorable properties for tumor localization after biochemical recurrence. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the performance of [18F]-JK-PSMA-7 under ADT. Procedures We examined the performance of [18F]-JK-PSMA-7 in 70 patients (first cohort) with increasing or detectable PSA values under ADT (PSA < 2 ng/ml for 21/70 patients). We further analyzed 58 independent patients with PSA levels < 2 ng/ml under ADT, who were imaged with [68Ga]PSMA-11 or [18F]DCFPyL (second cohort). Finally, we compared detection rates between [18F]-JK-PSMA-7, [68Ga]PSMA-11, and [18F]DCFPyL. Results In the first cohort, we detected [18F]-JK-PSMA-7-positive lesions in 63/70 patients. In patients with PSA levels ≥ 2 ng/ml, the detection rate was 100 % (49/49). In patients with PSA < 2 ng/ml, the detection rate was significantly lower (66.7 %, 14/21, p = 9.7 × 10−5) and dropped from 85.7 % (12/14, PSA levels between 0.3 and 2.0 ng/ml) to 28.6 % (2/7) for PSA levels < 0.3 ng/ml (p = 1.73 × 10−2). In the second cohort (PSA < 2 ng/ml), the detection rate was 79.3 % (46/58) for [68Ga]PSMA-11 or [18F]DCFPyL. Again, the detection rate was significantly higher (p = 1.1 × 10−2) for patients with PSA levels between 0.3 and 2.0 ng/ml (87.0 %, 40/46) relative to those with PSA levels < 0.3 ng/ml (50 %, 6/12). No significant difference was found between [18F]-JK-PSMA-7 and [68Ga]PSMA-11 or [18F]DCFPyL in patients with PSA levels < 2 ng/ml (p = 0.4295). Conclusion [18F]-JK-PSMA-7 PET showed a high detection rate in patients with PSA levels ≥ 0.3 ng/ml under ADT. The lower PSA threshold of 0.3 ng/ml for high detection rates was consistent across the three PSMA ligands. Thus, PSMA imaging is suitable for clinical follow-up of patients with increasing PSA levels under ADT.

Abstract Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a novel infectious disease caused by severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). Currently, SFTS is endemic to some areas in China, and wild animals are considered to play important roles in the circulation of SFTSV in the environment. Wild animals monitoring for SFTSV has been fulfilled since 2014 in Jiangsu Province. We studied the results of the detection to provide basic data for better diagnosis of wild animals. Methods This research was conducted in Jiangsu Province from 2014 to 2019. Sera of wild animals (Rodents, pheasants and hedgehogs) were collected to detect SFTSV both RNA and total antibodies by qRT-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 25.0 (Chicago, IL, USA).Results A total of 95.8% (1298/1355) of the specimens had the same SFTSV RNA and total antibodies detection results. However, there was a significant difference between the detection rates of SFTSV RNA and total antibodies, and the detection consistency was very poor. The detection rate of SFTSV total antibodies was highest in hedgehogs(19.54%).Conclusions SFTSV total antibodies testing was preferred method during wild animals surveillance. Also, hedgehog could be a competent reservoir for SFTSV.

Our aim was to assess the detection rate (DR) of positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT) with anti-1-amino-3-[18F]-flurocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid (18F-FACBC) in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) from prostate cancer (PC). As a secondary endpoint, we evaluated 18F-FACBC PET/CT’s impact on patients management. Clinical records of 81 patients submitted to 18F-FACBC PET/CT due to PC BCR in two Italian Nuclear Medicine Units were retrospectively assessed. DR was gauged in the whole cohort and stratifying patients by discrete intervals of PSA levels. PET/CT’s impact on clinical management was scored as (1) major if it entailed an intermodality change (e.g., from systemic to loco-regional therapy); (2) minor if it led to an intramodality change (e.g., modified radiotherapy field). PET/CT’s DR resulted in 76.9% in the whole cohort, with a positive predictive value of 96.7%. Stratified by PSA quartile intervals, PET/CT’s DR was 66.7%, 71.4%, 78.9% and 90% for PSA 0.2–0.57 ng/mL, 0.58–0.99 ng/mL, 1–1.5 ng/mL and >1.5 ng/mL without significant difference among groups (p = 0.81). The most common sites of relapse were prostate bed and pelvic lymph nodes (59.3%). PET/CT impacted on clinical management in 33/81 cases (40.7%), leading to a major change in 30 subjects (90.9%). 18F-FACBC PET/CT localized recurrence in patients with BCR, with meaningful DR also at low PSA levels and significantly impacted on clinical management.

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.
