多普勒超声引导前列腺穿刺活检与血清PSA检测在前列腺癌诊断中的应用价值

目的 探讨直肠多普勒超声引导前列腺穿刺活检(超声引导穿刺活检)与血清前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)检测诊断前列腺癌(PCA)的临床价值。方法 选取宝丰县人民医院2020-01—2020-12手术治疗的73例疑似PCA的患者。术前均行超声引导穿刺活检和血清PSA检测。以术后病理学检查结果为“金标准”,分析超声引导穿刺活检和血清PSA检测与术后病理诊断PCA的一致性及诊断价值。结果 超声引导穿刺活检与术后病理诊断一致性Kappa值为0.933,血清PSA检测结果与术后病理学检查结果一致性Kappa值为0.506。超声引导穿刺活检的敏感度、特异度、阴性预测值均高于血清PSA检测,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 与血清PSA检测比较,超声引导穿刺活检诊断PCA的准确度高,具有较高的PCA诊断价值。但由于超声引导穿刺活检属于有创检查,而且有一定的并发症风险,故在PCA的筛查中仍以血清PSA检测为主。对血清PSA水平持续异常升高的患者,应常规行超声引导穿刺活检,以排除PCA。

建立一种简易评分系统预测前列腺穿刺活检前列腺癌阳性率

目的:分析经直肠前列腺穿刺活检前列腺癌阳性率的预测因素。方法:总结2006年1月至2014年4月进行经直肠超声引导下前列腺穿刺活检患者的资料,包括年龄(age)、体质指数(BMI)、症状(syptoms)、直肠指检(DRE)、血清总PSA(t PSA)、游离PSA(f PSA)、游离PSA与总PSA比值(f/t PSA)、前列腺体积(PV)、PSA密度(PSAD)。通过单因素方差分析和多因素回归模型,筛选与活检阳性率相关的危险因素。在此基础上构建一个评分系统作为在活检前预测前列腺癌阳性率的工具,并通过受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线计算假阳性率,以检测评分系统的敏感性。结果:在385例经直肠超声引导下穿刺活检患者中,共139例患者被诊断为前列腺癌,阳性率36.1%。单因素分析显示,在活检阳性组和阴性组之间,年龄(P<0.01)、DRE(P<0.01)、t PSA(P<0.01)、f PSA(P<0.01)、f/t PSA(P<0.01)、PV(P<0.01)和PSAD(P<0.01)在前列腺癌患者中比例均高于活检阴性人群。将单因素回归有意义的因素纳入多因素逐步Logistic分析,结果显示,年龄、t PSA、f/t PSA、PV和PSAD是经直肠反复前列腺活检阳性的独立影响因素,其比值比(ORs)及其相应的95%可信区间(95%CIs)分别为1.07(1.05~1.16)、1.05(1.02~1.15)、0.97(0.86~0.99)、0.98(0.87~0.96)和1.79(1.48~2.06)。根据其OR值,设定年龄>71岁(中位数)、t PSA>14.1μg/L(中位数)、f/t PSA<14.07(中位数)、PV<42.8 ml(中位数)、PSAD>0.31μg/L/ml(中位数)分别各计1分,总分为5分。将385例患者的资料通过评分系统计算前列腺癌的检出率,发现评分为0、1、2、3、4、5分的患者前列腺癌的检出率分别为7.69%、8.98%、15.19%、39.39%、54.55%和72.15%。ROC曲线提示曲线下面积为0.82(95%CI:0.80~0.84,P<0.01)。另外,评分3~5分的患者比0~2分的患者前列腺癌的检出率高50%以上(64%vs 11%,P<0.01)。结论:该评分系统可以帮助泌尿科医师确定需要行前列腺活检的患者。

Efficacy and morbidity of transrectal ultrasound-guided 12-core biopsy for detection of prostate cancer in Japanese men

BACKGROUND: The objectives of the present study were to determine whether an extensive biopsy scheme contributes to enhanced detection of prostate cancer in Japanese men and to assess the associated pain and morbidity. METHODS: A total of 147 patients were included in this analysis, with 12 biopsy cores being obtained from each patient. Standard systematic sextant biopsy at the apex, mid-prostate and base of the prostate gland was carried out under local anesthesia and this was followed by the acquisition of additional sextant cores at the same levels from the far lateral peripheral zone. Each patient answered a self-administered questionnaire on pain and morbidity during the 5 days following biopsy. RESULTS: Overall, 39 patients (26.5%) received a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Nine patients (23.1%) were positive only at the standard sextant sites, three patients (7.7%) were positive exclusively at the far lateral sites and the remaining 27 patients (69.2%) were positive at both sites. Cancer was found most frequently in cores obtained from the apex (P = 0.009), with this trend being more evident in patients with abnormal rectal findings, positive sonographic findings, gland volume < 40 cm(3) and prostate-specific antigen density > 0.15 ng/mL/cm(3) (P < 0.03). These findings were also true for those with a prostate-specific antigen range from 4.1 to 20.0 ng/mL. A gradual decrease in incidence and grade of pain, hematuria and rectal bleeding was observed during the first 5 days after biopsy (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Using this 12-core biopsy scheme, we found cancer most frequently in cores taken at the level of the apex. While the extensive procedure only marginally enhanced overall detection of prostate cancer, it was well tolerated with gradually decreasing pain and morbidity over a brief postbiopsy period. Further efforts to optimize biopsy schemes are warranted.     

Transrectal ultrasound-guided transperineal 14-core systematic biopsy detects apico-anterior cancer foci of T1c prostate cancer

AIM: The optimal biopsy strategy for prostate cancer detection, especially in men with isolated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) elevation, remains to be defined. We evaluated diagnostic yield and safety of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided transperineal systematic 14-core biopsy and compared the spatial distribution of cancer foci detected with this technique in men with and without abnormality on digital rectal examination (DRE). METHODS: In a prospective study, 289 men aged between 50 and 87 years (median age, 70 years) underwent TRUS-guided transperineal systematic 14-core prostate biopsy because of elevated PSA and/or abnormal DRE findings. Using the fan technique, 12 cores from the peripheral zone and two cores from the transition zone were obtained systematically. To characterize the spatial distribution of cancer positive cores, site-specific overall and unique cancer detection rates were compared between stage T1c and T2 cancers. RESULTS: Prostate cancer was detected in 105 of the 289 patients (36%). Major complications requiring prolonged hospital stay or re-hospitalization during a 4-week postbiopsy period were rare (1.4%). Sixty-seven stage T1c cancers were identified. These cancers were associated with significantly lower PSA and a smaller number of cancer positive cores when compared with stage T2 cancers (n= 38). The overall cancer detection rate was highest at the anterior peripheral zone and the posterior peripheral zone in stage T1c and stage T2 cancers, respectively. The unique cancer detection rate at the anterior peripheral zone was significantly higher in stage T1c cancers than in stage T2 cancers. Therefore, when the prostate is extensively biopsied using the transperineal approach, cancer positive cores are characteristically distributed anteriorly in stage T1c cancers and posteriorly in stage T2 cancers. CONCLUSIONS: TRUS-guided transperineal systematic 14-core biopsy showed an apico-anterior distribution of cancer foci in stage T1c prostate cancers.     

Transperineal 12-core systematic biopsy in the detection of prostate cancer

BACKGROUND: The present study was designed to determine the clinical value of transperineal 12-core systematic prostate biopsy guided by transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) in the detection of prostate cancer. METHODS: A total of 679 consecutive patients underwent systematic prostate biopsies because of abnormal results on digital rectal examination and/or TRUS and/or an elevated serum prostate-specific antigen level. Systematic six- and 12-core biopsies were taken in 138 patients between April 1994 and February 1995 and in the remaining 541 between March 1995 and February 2000, respectively. Twelve-core biopsy included two samples from the lateral portion of the peripheral zone and four from the anterior portion of the transition zone in addition to the conventional six-core biopsy. RESULTS: In the series overall, systematic biopsy revealed 156 cases of prostate cancer (23.0%). The detection rate increased by 5.2%, although this was statistically not significant, from 18.8% (26/138) by six-core biopsy to 24.0% (130/541) by 12-core biopsy. Out of 130 patients in whom prostate cancer was detected by 12-core biopsy, it was supposed that conventional six-core biopsy would have missed 18 cases (13.8%). CONCLUSIONS: Systematic 12-core biopsy might improve the detection rate for prostate cancer. However, further studies are needed to determine its clinical value in the diagnosis of the disease.     

Predictors of prostate cancer on repeat transrectal ultrasound-guided systematic prostate biopsy

BACKGROUND: We analyzed the outcome of repeated transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided systematic prostate biopsy in Japanese men whose clinical findings were suspected of prostate cancer after previous negative biopsies. METHODS: Between January 1993 and March 2002, 1045 patients underwent TRUS-guided prostate biopsy. Among them, 104 patients underwent repeat biopsy due to indications of persistent elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) or TRUS, increased PSA velocity, and/or previous suspicious biopsy findings. Several clinicopathological factors were evaluated for their ability to predict the detection of prostate cancer on repeat biopsy. RESULTS: Prostate cancer was detected in 22 of 104 patients (21.2%) who underwent repeat biopsies. PSA concentration and PSA density at both the initial and repeat biopsies, and PSA velocity in men with positive repeat biopsy were significantly greater than those in men with negative repeat biopsy. The incidence of abnormal findings in DRE and TRUS at initial biopsy in men with positive repeat biopsy was also significantly higher than that in men with negative repeat biopsy. However, neither the presence of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia nor number of biopsy cores at initial biopsy had a significant association with the results of the repeat biopsy. Furthermore, multivariate analysis revealed that PSA and PSA density at both the initial and repeat biopsies, PSA velocity, and DRE and TRUS findings at initial biopsy were independent predictors of malignant disease on repeat biopsy. CONCLUSION: Despite an initial negative biopsy, repeat TRUS-guided biopsy should be carried out to exclude prostate cancer in cases of suspicious clinical findings, such as elevated PSA or PSA-related parameters, or abnormal findings of DRE or TRUS.     

Effects of systematic 12-core biopsy on the performance of percent free prostate specific antigen for prostate cancer detection

PURPOSE: The performance characteristics of percent free (f) prostate specific antigen (PSA) for differentiating between benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer were originally established using primarily sextant biopsy. We determined whether the addition of 6 laterally directed cores to the traditional sextant prostate biopsy affects the performance of percent fPSA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated a cohort of 350 consecutive biopsies in men with negative digital rectal examinations and PSA between 4 and 10 ng/ml who underwent systematic 12 core biopsy (S12C) biopsy at Scott Department of Urology between March 1999 and January 2003. The effects of 6 additional, laterally directed biopsies on the sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve for percent fPSA was evaluated in the 277 men in whom percent fPSA was measured. RESULTS: Cancers detected exclusively in the 6 laterally directed cores were associated with percent fPSA values similar to those in patients with a benign S12C biopsy. This resulted in a modest and yet predictable decrease in the sensitivity of percent fPSA at each biopsy threshold value without affecting specificity. There was a nonstatistically significant decrease in the area under the ROC curve with the addition of 6 laterally directed cores to sextant biopsy (medial sextant cores 0.66 vs S12C 0.60). CONCLUSIONS: The 12 core biopsy strategies have a higher cancer detection rate than sextant biopsies and they are gaining widespread acceptance. The addition of 6 laterally directed cores to traditional sextant biopsy may result in a modest decrease in the sensitivity of percent fPSA at each selected biopsy threshold without affecting specificity.     

Improved detection of clinically significant, curable prostate cancer with systematic 12-core biopsy

PURPOSE: While systematic 12-core (S12C) biopsy detects more cancers than sextant biopsy, to our knowledge the clinical significance of these additionally detected tumors has not been established. We studied pathological parameters of prostatectomy specimens from patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer detected with a S12C biopsy to determine the clinical significance of these cancers in comparison with sextant detected cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 179 consecutive patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer detected by S12C biopsy were studied. The groups compared consisted of the sextant core subset of the S12C and the entire S12C set. Total tumor volume, Gleason score, organ confined status, surgical margin status, seminal vesicle invasion, lymph node involvement, and clinical significance of tumors detected by sextant and by S12C templates were compared. RESULTS: S12C biopsy detected a greater number of cancers scored as moderate (Gleason score 2 to 6) or high (Gleason score 7 or greater) grade, and cancers of all sizes regardless of organ confined status than the sextant cores alone (all p <0.05). S12C biopsy identified a greater number of biologically significant and insignificant tumors regardless of how they were defined. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the sextant set S12C biopsy detects a significantly greater number of surgically curable, biologically significant tumors as well as those that might be considered clinically insignificant.     

Importance of peripheral biopsies in maximising the detection of early prostate cancer in repeat 12-core biopsy protocols

OBJECTIVE: To assess cancer-detection rates in repeat 12-core biopsy protocols, as extended multicore prostate biopsy protocols have become standard when investigating men with a raised prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, but repeat prostate biopsy protocols are still developing. PATIENTS AND METHODS: During a 4.5-year period, 241 of 590 patients with persistently high age-specific PSA levels of 2.6-10 ng/mL and an initial benign biopsy were invited for repeat transrectal ultrasonography-guided 12-core prostatic biopsy. The protocol for repeat biopsy was identical to the first biopsy, and included a periprostatic nerve block. The first six biopsies were obtained from the periphery of the gland directed more laterally at the base, mid-zone and apices. The remainder were parasagittal sextant biopsies. Pathological findings were analysed on an individual core basis. RESULTS: The mean age of the 241 men was 63.4 years; cancer was diagnosed in 40 (16.6%) on repeat biopsy. Men with cancer were older and had a higher median PSA level. The median Gleason score was 6, with a median of two cores positive for cancer. Maximum cancer detection rates were from peripheral apices (37.5%), basal biopsies had the lowest detection rates (23.8% and 16.3%), and parasagittal biopsies missed 35% of detected cancers. Patients with cancer also had significantly lower prostate volumes and higher PSA densities (both P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: A low cancer yield from both peripheral basal and parasagittal basal specimens on repeat biopsy indicates adequate sampling at initial biopsy. The maximum cancer yield in the peripheral mid-zones and apical zones suggests the necessity for concentrated sampling of these zones in repeat biopsy protocols.     

Prediction of pathological stages before prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients: Analysis of 12 systematic prostate needle biopsy specimens

OBJECTIVE: To identify the most reliable predictor of the pathological stage among multiple parameters obtained by performing systematic biopsies and to assess the predictive value of any identified parameters in combination with the prostate specific antigen and the Gleason scores. METHODS: We examined 5 biopsy parameters from 12 systematic needle biopsy results in 104 consecutive prostate cancer patients who underwent prostatectomy: the number of cores positive for cancer, percentage of positive biopsy cores, total linear cancer length (absolute sum of tumor length at each core), percentage cancer length (total cancer length divided by total length of cores obtained x100), and maximum cancer core length. The predictive values of these parameters were assessed using multivariate logistic analysis and receiver operating characteristic analysis. We evaluated whether the most reliable biopsy parameter in combination with traditional variables show better predictability of the pathological stage than traditional variables alone by receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS: Of 104 patients, 85 (82.9%) had organ confined cancer and 19 (17.1%) showed extraprostatic extension. Of the five parameters examined, maximum cancer length was found to best predict pathological staging. Although insignificant, adding results of maximum cancer length to prostate specific antigen and Gleason scores improved predictability. Of 41 patients with a maximum cancer length of <0.9 cm, PSA of <16 ng/mL, and Gleason score of <7, none showed extraprostatic extension. CONCLUSIONS: The maximum cancer length was found to be the most reliable predictor of disease staging. The findings of a maximum cancer length of <0.9 cm, PSA of <16 ng/mL, and a Gleason score of <7 can suggest an organ-confined disease.
