Comparison of contrast enhanced color Doppler targeted biopsy with conventional systematic biopsy: impact on prostate cancer detection

PURPOSE: We performed a prospective study to determine whether a limited biopsy approach with contrast enhanced color Doppler ultrasound targeted biopsy of the prostate would detect cancer as well as gray scale US guided systematic biopsy with a larger number of biopsy cores. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 230 male screening volunteers with a total prostate specific antigen of 1.25 ng./ml. or greater and free-to-total prostate specific antigen less than 18%. Two independent examiners evaluated each subject and a single investigator performed 5 or fewer contrast enhanced targeted biopsies into hypervascular regions in the peripheral zone during intravenous infusion of the US contrast agent Levovist (Schering, Berlin, Germany). Subsequently another examiner performed 10 systematic prostate biopsies. The cancer detection rates of the 2 techniques were compared. RESULTS: Cancer was detected in 69 of the 230 patients (30%), including 56 (24.4%) by contrast enhanced targeted biopsy and in 52 (22.6%) by systematic biopsy. Cancer was detected by targeted biopsy alone in 17 patients (7.4%) and by systematic biopsy alone in 13 (5.6%). The overall cancer detection rate by patient was not significantly different for targeted and systematic biopsy (p = 0.58). The detection rate for targeted biopsy cores (10.4% or 118 of 1,139 cores) was significantly better than for systematic biopsy cores (5.3% or 123 of 2,300 cores, p <0.001). Contrast enhanced targeted biopsy in a patient with cancer was 2.6-fold more likely to detect prostate cancer than systematic US guided biopsy. CONCLUSIONS: Contrast enhanced color Doppler targeted biopsy detected as many cancers as systematic biopsy with fewer than half the number of biopsy cores. Although an increase in cancer detection was achieved by combining targeted and systematic techniques in this screening population, contrast enhanced targeted biopsy alone is a reasonable approach for decreasing the number of biopsy cores.     

Prostate cancer detection in men with prostate specific antigen 4 to 10 ng/ml using a combined approach of contrast enhanced color Doppler targeted and systematic biopsy

PURPOSE: Transrectal gray scale ultrasound guided biopsy is the standard method for diagnosing prostate cancer (PC). Improved cancer detection with ultrasound contrast agents is related to better detection of tumor vascularity. We evaluated the impact of a combined approach of contrast enhanced, color Doppler targeted biopsy (CECD) and systematic biopsy (SB) for the PC detection rate in men with prostate specific antigen (PSA) 4.0 to 10 ng/ml. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 380 screening volunteers with a total PSA of 4.0 to 10 ng/ml (percent free PSA less than 18). CECD was always performed before SB. Another investigator blinded to contrast enhanced findings performed 10 SBs. The cancer detection rate for the CECD, SB and combined approaches was assessed. RESULTS: PC was detected in 143 of 380 patients (37.6%, mean total PSA 6.2 ng/ml). The PC detection rate for CECD and for SB was 27.4% and 27.6%, respectively. The overall cancer detection rate with the 2 methods combined was 37.6%. For targeted biopsy cores the detection rate was significantly better than for SB cores (32.6% vs 17.9%, p <0.01). CECD in a patient with cancer was 3.1-fold more likely to detect PC than SB. CONCLUSIONS: CECD allows for the detection of lesions that cannot be found on gray scale ultrasound or SB. CECD allows for assessment of neovascularity associated with PC. However, the combined use of CECD and SB allows for maximal detection of PC with a detection rate of 37.6% in our patients with PSA 4 to 10 ng/ml.     

Limitations of biopsy Gleason grade: implications for counseling patients with biopsy Gleason score 6 prostate cancer

PURPOSE: We examined the implications of underestimating Gleason score by prostate biopsy in patients with biopsy Gleason 6 prostate cancer with respect to adverse pathological findings and biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed clinical and pathological data on a cohort of 531 patients with Gleason score 6 on prostate biopsy who underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy between June 1992 and January 2002. Patients were excluded if they received neoadjuvant androgen deprivation. Concordance between biopsy and radical prostatectomy Gleason score was examined. A comparison was made with respect to final radical prostatectomy specimen pathology and the risk of biochemical recurrence between cases that remained Gleason 6 and those with a final grade of 7 or greater. RESULTS: A total of 451 patients were included in the analysis. Mean followup was 55.1 months (range 12 to 123.4). Of the patients 184 (41%) had a Gleason score of 7 or greater after a review of the entire prostate, while 37 (8%) had a score of less than 6 and 230 remained with Gleason 6. Patients who were under graded were more likely to have extraprostatic extension (22% vs 4%, p <0.01), seminal vesicle invasion (9% vs 2%, p <0.01) and biochemical recurrence (10% vs 3%, p <0.01) compared to those who remained with Gleason score 6. CONCLUSIONS: Gleason grade on needle biopsy is an inexact predictor of the final grade following radical prostatectomy. Patients with biopsy Gleason score 6 who are under graded are at significantly higher risk for adverse pathological features and biochemical recurrence than patients who remain with Gleason score 6 or less on final pathology findings.     

对比超声引导系统穿刺活检与超声造影靶向活检诊断前列腺癌

目的比较前列腺系统穿刺活检（SB）与CEUS靶向活检对前列腺癌（PCa）的检出率。方法选取可疑PCa患者61例随机分为CEUS靶向活检组和SB组,分别进行CEUS靶向活检及11点系统活检,并进行病理学检查。结果 61例病例中,病理检查证实为PCa共19例（19/61,31.15%）,CEUS组漏诊1例,漏诊率1.64%（1/61）。SB组PCa检出率为26.67%（8/30）,CEUS靶向活检组PCa检出率为35.48%（11/31）;11点穿刺活检获得组织330条,其中癌组织21条;CEUS靶向活检获得组织257条,其中癌组织29条。两组PCa检出率差异无统计学意义（P〉0.05）,但CEUS靶向活检组每个靶点获得癌组织的概率（29/257,11.28%）较11点穿刺活检时每个穿刺点获得癌组织的概率（21/330,6.36%）明显提高（P〈0.05）。结论两组对于PCa的检出率无明显差异;CEUS靶向活检可减少穿刺点数,且每个靶点获得癌组织的概率较SB有所提高。     

Predicting the risk of patients with biopsy Gleason score 6 to harbor a higher grade cancer

PURPOSE: Prostate cancer Gleason score 3 + 3 = 6 is currently the most common score assigned on prostatic biopsies. We analyzed the clinical variables that predict the likelihood of a patient with biopsy Gleason score 6 to harbor a higher grade tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study population consisted of 448 patients with a mean age of 59.1 years who underwent radical prostatectomy between February 2003 to October 2006 for Gleason score 6 adenocarcinoma. The effect of preoperative variables on the probability of a Gleason score upgrade on final pathological evaluation was evaluated using logistic regression, and classification and regression tree analysis. RESULTS: Gleason score upgrade was found in 91 of 448 patients (20.3%). Logistic regression showed that only serum prostate specific antigen and the greatest percent of cancer in a core were significantly associated with a score upgrade (p = 0.0014 and 0.023, respectively). Classification and regression tree analysis showed that the risk of a Gleason score upgrade was 62% when serum prostate specific antigen was higher than 12 ng/ml and 18% when serum prostate specific antigen was 12 ng/ml or less. In patients with serum prostate specific antigen lower than 12 ng/ml the risk of a score upgrade could be dichotomized at a greatest percent of cancer in a core of 5%. The risk was 22.6% and 10.5% when the greatest percent of cancer in a core was higher than 5% and 5% or lower, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The probability of patients with a prostate biopsy Gleason score of 6 to conceal a Gleason score of 7 or higher can be predicted using serum prostate specific antigen and the greatest percent of cancer in a core. With these parameters it is possible to predict upgrade rates as high as 62% and as low as 10.5%.

Evaluation of color Doppler in guiding prostate biopsy after HIFU ablation

OBJECTIVE: Transrectal ultrasound cannot accurately depict early cancer recurrences after prostate high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. We evaluated transrectal color Doppler (CD) in guiding post-HIFU prostate biopsy. METHODS: Prostate CD-guided sextant biopsies were obtained in 82 patients who had undergone prostate HIFU ablation for cancer, 24 of whom had hormone therapy before the treatment. At the time of biopsy, a subjective CD score was given to all biopsy sites (0=no flow; 1=minimal flow; 2=suspicious flow pattern). CD findings were compared with biopsy results. RESULTS: CD was a significant predictor of biopsy findings, according to univariate and multivariate site-by-site analysis. However, only 36 of 94 sites with residual cancer had positive CD findings, and thus, negative CD findings should not preclude random biopsy. There was a significant interaction between CD diagnostic capability and a history of hormone therapy before HIFU treatment. CD was a significant and independent predictor of biopsy findings in patients who had not received hormone therapy (odds ratio: 4.4; 95%CI: 2.5-7.9; p<0.0001), but not in those who had (odds ratio: 1.3; 95%CI: 0.5-3.4; p>0.5). CONCLUSION: Biopsy taken in CD-positive sites were 4.4 times more likely to contain cancer in patients who did not receive hormone therapy. CD could not reliably depict cancer recurrence in patients with history of hormone therapy.     

Diagnostic value of systematic biopsy methods in the investigation of prostate cancer: a systematic review

PURPOSE: Several new extended prostate biopsy schemes (greater than 6 cores) have been proposed. We compared the cancer detection rates and complications of different extended prostate biopsy schemes for diagnostic evaluation in men scheduled for biopsy to identify the optimal scheme. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a systematic review we searched 13 electronic databases, screened relevant urological journals and the reference lists of included studies, and contacted experts. We included studies that compared different systematic prostate biopsy methods using sequential sampling or a randomized design in men scheduled for biopsy due to suspected prostate cancer. We pooled data using a random effects model when appropriate. RESULTS: We analyzed 87 studies with a total of 20,698 patients. We pooled data from 68 studies comparing a total of 94 extended schemes with the standard sextant scheme. An increasing number of cores were significantly associated with the cancer yield. Laterally directed cores increased the yield significantly (p = 0.003), whereas centrally directed cores did not. Schemes with 12 cores that took additional laterally directed cores detected 31% more cancers (95% CI 25 to 37) than the sextant scheme. Schemes with 18 to 24 cores did not detect significantly more cancers. Adverse events for schemes up to 12 cores were similar to those for the sextant pattern. Adverse event reporting was poor for schemes with 18 to 24 cores. CONCLUSIONS: Prostate biopsy schemes consisting of 12 cores that add laterally directed cores to the standard sextant scheme strike the balance between the cancer detection rate and adverse events. Taking more than 12 cores added no significant benefit.     

Prostate cancers scored as Gleason 6 on prostate biopsy are frequently Gleason 7 tumors at radical prostatectomy: implication on outcome

PURPOSE: Differentiation between Gleason score 6 and 7 in prostate biopsy is important for treatment decision making. Nevertheless, under grading errors compared with the actual pathological grade at radical prostatectomy are common. We compared the characteristics and outcomes of tumors that were scored 6 on prostate biopsy but were 7 on subsequent radical prostatectomy pathological evaluation to those in tumors with a consistent rating of Gleason score 6 or 7 at biopsy and surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective database analysis from our referral center (1989 to 2004). We compared pre-prostatectomy characteristics, radical prostatectomy pathological features and the post-radical prostatectomy prostate specific antigen failure rate, defined as any 2 consecutive detectable prostate specific antigen measurements, in 3 subgroups of patients, including 156 with matched Gleason score 6 in the prostate biopsy and radical prostatectomy, 205 with upgraded Gleason score 6/7, that is prostate biopsy Gleason score 6 and radical prostatectomy Gleason score 7, and 412 with matched Gleason score 7 in the prostate biopsy and radical prostatectomy. RESULTS: Radical prostatectomy Gleason score matched the prostate biopsy score in 38.2% of biopsy Gleason score 6 and 81.4% of biopsy Gleason score 7 cases. Higher prostate specific antigen was associated and an increased percent of cancer in the prostate biopsy was predictive of discordance between the prostate biopsy and radical prostatectomy Gleason scores (p <0.001). Margin (p = 0.0075) or seminal vesicle involvement (p = 0.0002), cancer volume (p <0.001) and the prostate specific antigen failures rate (p = 0.014) were significantly higher in under graded Gleason score 7 cancer compared to those in matched Gleason score 6 cases. However, they were comparable to those with a matched Gleason score 7 tumor grade (p = 0.66). CONCLUSIONS: Almost half of tumors graded Gleason score 6 at biopsy are Gleason score 7 at surgery. Upgraded Gleason score 6 to 7 tumors have outcomes similar to those of genuine Gleason score 7 cancer. For prostate biopsy Gleason score 6 tumors clinicians should consider the overall likelihood of tumor upgrading as well as specific patient characteristics, such as prostate specific antigen and the percent of tumor in the prostate biopsy, when contemplating treatments that are optimized for low grade tumors, including watchful waiting or brachytherapy.     

靶向穿刺与靶向联合系统穿刺对前列腺PI-RADS评分4~5分患者的诊断效能比较

Increasing the number of biopsy cores improves the concordance of biopsy Gleason score to prostatectomy Gleason score

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate taking more biopsy cores for predicting the radical prostatectomy (RP) Gleason score compared with the biopsy Gleason score, as although random sextant biopsies are the standard for a tissue diagnosis of prostate cancer, and taking more biopsies increases the detection rate, it is uncertain whether taking more cores improves the prediction of the RP Gleason score. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analysed retrospectively 404 patients from three centres (Seattle 162, Washington 107 and Chicago 135) who had RP for prostate cancer. Six, eight or 10 biopsies were taken based on the physician's preference and the patient's characteristics. RESULTS: Before RP, 158 (39%) patients had six, 65 (16%) had eight and 181 (45%) had 10 biopsy cores taken. The accuracy of the Gleason sum of the three groups was 65/158 (41%), 26/65 (40%) and 104/181 (57.5%), respectively (P < 0.004, 10-core vs six-core). However, when comparing the Gleason score separately (i.e. 4 + 3 is not equal to 3 + 4), the accuracy of the three groups was 48/158 (30%), 20/65 (31%), and 95/181 (52.5%), respectively (P < 0.001, 10-core vs six core). CONCLUSIONS: Taking more biopsy cores improves the accuracy of the biopsy Gleason score in predicting the final Gleason score at RP; the predictive accuracy of the final Gleason score may be increased from 41% to 58% by increasing the number of biopsies from six to 10.
