Abstract
To investigate the accuracy and use of body-coil magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the local staging of prostate cancer before radical prostatectomy (RP). Fifty-six patients undergoing RP were staged before surgery using body-coil MRI; none was denied surgery on the basis of their scan results. All scans were reported before RP by one of three consultant radiologists and afterward by a colleague with a special interest in prostate MRI, unaware of the patients' clinical details. The overall sensitivity of MRI at detecting extracapsular extension was 50% on general reporting and 72% when reported by the specialist radiologist; the respective specificities were 84% and 86%. Of the 55 patients included in the study, 18 (33%) had extracapsular disease on histological analysis. MRI was most accurate in the 17 patients at high-risk (prostate-specific antigen, PSA, >10 ng/mL and Gleason score >or= 8) and eight at intermediate risk (PSA < 10 ng/mL and Gleason score 7). In the former group with specialist analysis, the sensitivity was 100%, although this decreased to 67% with general reporting. Both gave a specificity of 82%. Intermediate risk disease gave a sensitivity and specificity of 75%, irrespective of reporting method. The abil...Continue Reading
