Abstract

Accuracy of ultrasound-guided biopsy and Gleason score is limited, and diagnosis of insignificant cancer with Gleason score ≤6 is frequent when extended biopsy schemes are used. We evaluated whether the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted in-bore prostate biopsy correctly identifies the Gleason score of prostate cancer in histopathologic correlation after prostatectomy. Simultaneously a targeted concept is expected to keep down the rate of insignificant cancer. We compared retrospectively the Gleason score of the MRI-targeted in-bore biopsy with prostatectomy specimens in 50 men with prostate cancer. Endorectal MRI included T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, and spectroscopy. Lesions with a prostate imaging-reporting and data system (PI-RADS) score ≥3 were considered. Upgrading and downgrading of tumors was evaluated, and significant upgrading was defined as a shift in Gleason score from 6 to 7 or more. Gleason score was concordant in 66% of the patients, overall upgraded in 30% of patients, and downgraded in 4% of patients. Significant upgrading of the Gleason score from 6 to 7 occurred in eight patients; upgrading did not exceed one step in the Gleason score. After prosta...Continue Reading
