Abstract INTRODUCTION: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in men with an estimated 1.2 million diagnoses worldwide. The incidence of Prostate cancer is higher in western countries and low in Asian countries. The need for prostate biopsy is based on PSA levels. The general cut off PSA value for the Indian population is 4.0 ng/mL. The reported cancer detection rate of TRUS-guided biopsies is around 30 percent in western countries and lesser in Asian countries, including India, particularly for serum PSA values less than 20 ng/mL indicating that many of the Indian patients are subjected to unnecessary biopsy which adds up to distress to these patients.PURPOSE: To determine the cancer detection rate of TRUS-guided prostate biopsy in the Indian population at different serum Prostate-Specific Antigen levels and determine a PSA cut-off level to avoid unnecessary biopsies.MATERIALS AND METHODS:All symptomatic patients who underwent TRUS guided biopsy for raised serum PSA levels between 4 - 20 ng/mL were included. The patients were categorized into four groups corresponding to the PSA levels ranging between 4-6 ng/mL, 6- 8 ng/mL, 8-10 ng/mL, and 10-20 ng/mL respectively, and cancer detection rate in each group were statistically analyzed.RESULTS:The sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of TRUS guided biopsy are 75%, 95%, and 98% respectively in our study. The overall cancer detection rate of TRUS biopsy in our series was 18.4%. The PSA cut-off to do biopsy was derived by ROC curve as 8.9 ng/ml for all the men. CONCLUSION: The PSA cut-off of 4.0 ng/mL is currently used as an indication for biopsy among men of all ages in the Indian population. We recommend a raise in cut-off to 8.9 ng/mL to avoid unnecessary TRUS-guided biopsies in the Indian population.

Purpose: We performed an analysis of the literature about the optimal prostate biopsy (PBX) scheme in the repeated setting Methods: We performed a clinical and critical literature review by searching Medline Database from January 2005 up to January 2014. Electronic searches were limited to the English language. The keywords were: prostate cancer, prostate biopsy, transrectal ultrasound, transperineal prostate biopsy. Results: The recommended approach in repeated setting is still the extended scheme (EPBx) (12 cores). An approach with more than 12 cores according to the clinical characteristics of the patients may optimize cancer detection. Saturation PBx (> 20 cores) clearly improves cancer detection if clinical suspicion persists after previous negative biopsy. Nevertheless international guidelines do not strongly recommended SPBx in all situations of repeated setting. EPBx or SPBX may be, in the future, substituted by multiparametric MRI-targeted biopsies. Conclusions: Since the scenario in which a PBx is changing, the issue about the number and location of the cores in PBx is still a matter of debate in repeated setting. At present, EPBx are still the gold standard even if SPBx seems to be necessary in many cases. However, random PBx does not represent the approach of the future, but rather imaging targeted biopsy.

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is being more widely used in the detection of prostate cancer (PCa), particularly after an initial negative biopsy. In this study, we compared 12-core systematic biopsy (SYS), MRI-targeted biopsy (TAR), and the association of systematic and MRI-targeted (SYS+TAR) prostate biopsy in patients with previous biopsy and those who were biopsy-naive to evaluate the differences in terms of cancer detection and clinically significant cancer detection between the three modalities.Methods: Overall, 203 consecutive patients with suspicion of PCa were analyzed; 48.2% were biopsy-naive and 51.7% had at least one previous negative prostate biopsy. The median age was 66 years, median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was 7.9 ng/mL and median prostate volume was 46 mL. 38.9% had SYS, 19.2% TAR only, and 41.8% had SYS+TAR biopsy.Results: Overall, the PCa detection (PCaDR) was 63%. The SYS+TAR biopsy detected significantly more cancer than SYS and TAR only biopsies (72.9% vs. 56.9% and 53.8% respectively; p=0.03). Detection rate of clinically significant cancer (csPCaDR) was 50.7% overall; 65.8% in the SYS+TAR biopsy vs. 39.2% in the SYS and 48.7% in the TAR groups (p=0.002). In the biopsy-naive group, PCaDR and csPCaDR were significantly higher in the SYS+TAR group than in the SYS and TAR groups (p=0.01). In the repeat biopsy group, PCaDR and csPCaDR were equivalent in the TAR and SYS+TAR groups and higher than in the SYS group (p=0.001).Conclusions: TAR biopsy, when added to SYS biopsy, was associated with a higher detection rate of csPCa in biopsy-naive patients when compared to TAR and SYS only biopsies. In patients after previous negative biopsy, detection rates of csPCa were equivalent for SYS+TAR and TAR only biopsies, but higher than SYS.
