Abstract

To investigate the association of hypoenhancement on dynamic Contrast enhanced (DCE) with prostate cancer patient outcomes. This was a single-institution retrospective Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved cohort study of 54 men who had prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) within 6 months of cancer diagnosis between 01/2012 to 03/2014. Two readers independently identified the dominant MRI-lesions utilizing Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System-version2- guidelines. These lesions were classified as hypoenhancing or hyperenhancing, compared to normal peripheral zone using quantitative DCE analysis. The t test for unequal sample sizes and the two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to compare groups. Logistic regression determined if DCE characteristics predict the development of metastases or prostate cancer death. Time-to-progression was significantly shorter for hypoenhancing tumors (6.2 vs. 24.8 months, p = 0.05). Men with these lesions had a higher odds of having poor outcome (univariate logistic regression, odds ratio (OR) 6.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.45-31.72, p = 0.02; multivariate analysis, OR 2.05, 95% CI 0.30-13.72, p = 0.47). Hypoenhancing tumors were larger (33.1 vs. 19.1 mm, p < 0.001) and ...Continue Reading
