RESUMEN
PURPOSE: We examined rates of Grade Group 4 downgrading at radical prostatectomy among men diagnosed with high and very high risk prostate cancer at biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A pooled cohort of 1,776 patients from 3 tertiary referral centers who underwent radical prostatectomy for National Comprehensive Cancer Network® high risk (prostate specific antigen greater than 20 ng/ml, or Grade Group 4-5, or clinical stage T3 or greater) or very high risk (primary Gleason pattern 5, or more than 4 biopsy cores with Grade Group 4-5, or 2 or more high risk features) disease from 2005 to 2015 were reviewed. Overall 893 patients with Grade Group 4 disease at biopsy were identified and 726 patients were available for analysis. Multivariable logistic regression models were fit to determine factors associated with downgrading to Grade Group 3 or less at radical prostatectomy. RESULTS: Overall 333 (45%) cases were downgraded to Grade Group 3 or less at radical prostatectomy. Of these cases 198 (27%) had concordant Grade Group 4 biopsy and radical prostatectomy pathology and 195 (27%) were upgraded at radical prostatectomy to Grade Group 5. Of high risk cases with biopsy Grade Group 4 disease 49% had any downgrading vs 29% of very high risk cases (p <0.0001). Downgrading to Grade Group 2 or less occurred in 16% (98 of 604) of high risk and 7% (8 of 122) of very high risk cases (p <0.01). Downgraded cases had a lower prostate specific antigen, fewer positive biopsy cores and lower clinical stage (p <0.01). On multivariable analysis fewer positive biopsy cores were significantly associated with downgrading at radical prostatectomy (p <0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of patients with high risk/very high risk prostate cancer, downgrading from biopsy Grade Group 4 at radical prostatectomy occurred less frequently than in other published reports. Any downgrading was significantly less common in very high risk compared to high risk patients, and downgrading to Grade Group 2 or less occurred in a minority of cases in high risk and very high risk patients.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of systemic comorbidities on a validated health phenotype score (ACTIONS: Anxiety, Cardiovascular, Testosterone, Insulin/diabetes, Obesity, Neurologic, Sleep apnea) on outcomes of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) for symptoms and medication discontinuation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Comorbidities of men undergoing TURP for BPH from 2004 to 2015 were assessed with the validated ACTIONS phenotype totaling a score from 0 to 2 for each domain (Anxiety, Cardiovascular, Testosterone, Insulin/diabetes, Obesity, Neurologic, Sleep apnea). BPH medication discontinuation, change in International Prostate Symptom Score, postvoid residual, and patient satisfaction were assessed. Descriptive and comparative statistics were calculated with significance set at P <.05. RESULTS: The 319 men had a median age of 74.0 (interquartile range 67-78). Mean ACTIONS score was significantly lower in men who discontinued alpha-blockers or 5-alpha reductase inhibitors compared to those who did not (3.37 ± 2.14vs 4.79 ± 2.75, P <.0001). ACTIONS score <4 was significantly associated with medication discontinuation (P = .0014). Lower scores in Testosterone (Pâ¯=â¯.04), Neurologic (Pâ¯=â¯.003), and Sleep apnea (Pâ¯=â¯.04) domains were significantly associated with medication discontinuation. Total ACTIONS score was not independently associated with changes in International Prostate Symptom Score or postvoid residual. CONCLUSION: Lower ACTIONS score was associated with BPH medication discontinuation after TURP, suggesting men with lower comorbidity burdens do better after the procedure. The ACTIONS phenotype score is easily calculated and may aid the preoperative counseling of men undergoing TURP for BPH.
