Abstract

To evaluate the impact of magnetic resonance imaging/transrectal ultrasound fusion-targeted prostate biopsy on the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer using real-time three-dimensional ultrasound-based organ-tracking technology. The present study was a retrospective review of 262 consecutive patients with prostate-specific antigen of 7.1 ng/mL (interquartile range 4.0-19.8). All patients received pre-biopsy magnetic resonance imaging and had a suspicious lesion for clinically significant prostate cancer. All patients underwent a combination of systematic biopsy (6 cores) and three-dimensional ultrasound-based magnetic resonance imaging/transrectal ultrasound fusion-targeted biopsy (2 cores). The positive rate of any cancer, positive rate of clinically significant prostate cancer, Gleason score and maximum cancer core length were compared between systematic biopsy versus magnetic resonance imaging/transrectal ultrasound fusion-targeted prostate biopsy. Overall, the positive rate of any cancer per patient was 61% (160/262) in systematic biopsy versus 79% (207/262) in magnetic resonance imaging/transrectal ultrasound fusion-targeted biopsy (P < 0.0001); and that of clinically significant prostate cancer per patient...Continue Reading
