Detection of prostate cancer using magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasonography image-fusion targeted biopsy in African-American men.
BJU International 2017 August
OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic yield of targeted prostate biopsy in African-American (A-A) men using image fusion of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) with real-time transrectal ultrasonography (US).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analysed 661 patients (117 A-A and 544 Caucasian) who had mpMRI before biopsy and then underwent MRI/US image-fusion targeted biopsy (FTB) between October 2012 and August 2015. The mpMRIs were reported on a 5-point Likert scale of suspicion. Clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPC) was defined as biopsy Gleason score ≥7.
RESULTS: After controlling for age, prostate-specific antigen level and prostate volume, there were no significant differences between A-A and Caucasian men in the detection rate of overall cancer (35.0% vs 34.2%, P = 0.9) and CSPC (18.8% vs 21.7%, P = 0.3) with MRI/US FTB. There were no significant differences between the races in the location of dominant lesions on mpMRI, and in the proportion of 5-point Likert scoring. In A-A men, MRI/US FTB from the grade 4-5 lesions outperformed random biopsy in the detection rate of overall cancer (70.6% vs 37.2%, P = 0.003) and CSPC (52.9% vs 12.4%, P < 0.001). MRI/US FTB outperformed random biopsy in cancer core length (5.0 vs 2.4 mm, P = 0.001), in cancer rate per core (24.9% vs 6.8%, P < 0.001), and in efficiency for detecting one patient with CSPC (mean number of cores needed 13.3 vs 81.9, P < 0.001), respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Our key finding confirms a lack of racial difference in the detection rate of overall prostate cancers and CSPC with MRI/US FTB between A-A and Caucasian men. MRI/US FTB detected more CSPC using fewer cores compared with random biopsy.
