RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To describe the association between prenatal imaging and neurodevelopmental outcomes of fetuses with rhombencephalosynapsis (RES). STUDY DESIGN: Thirty-four pregnancies complicated by RES were identified from our institutional databases based on US and/or MRI findings. Genetic testing results were gathered. In cases of termination of pregnancy, we studied the association between prenatal imaging and neuropathologic findings. For those who opted for expectant management, comprehensive developmental assessments and postnatal MRI imaging were evaluated. RESULTS: Over one third of fetuses in our cohort had complete RES. Common intracranial anomalies identified were mesencephalosynapsis, aqueduct stenosis and diencephalosynapsis. The degree of RES was not associated with the frequency of additional central nervous system anomalies. MRI had a good correlation with neuropathologic findings with regard to the degree of RES, aqueduct stenosis and mesencephalosynapsis. Postmortem autopsy showed that one third of our cases had VACTERL-H and almost all of those had complete RES. All liveborn neonates(n = 6) had aqueduct stenosis requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunting within days of delivery (median 5 days). While a large proportion of prenatally suspected complete RES were found to have partial RES on postnatal imaging, prenatal diagnosis of aqueduct stenosis remained unchanged. All children that were at least 2 years old (n = 3) had global developmental delay. CONCLUSION: Prenatal assessment of the RES severity is challenging and may be unreliable. Nevertheless, postnatal prognosis is poor for both complete and partial RES. Associated aqueductal stenosis, can be reliably assessed prenatally and this may contribute to worse postnatal prognosis than the degree of RES.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To investigate short-term neonatal developmental outcomes in fetuses with an isolated wide or narrow cavum septi pellucidi (CSP) using new reference ranges. METHODS: A cross-sectional study on fetuses at 16 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks of gestation between December 2020 and January 2022. CSP width reference ranges were constructed from low-risk pregnancies. Wide and narrow CSPs were defined as measurements above the 95th percentile and below the 5th percentile, respectively. For the primary outcome fetuses with normal neurosonograms were included. Neonatal developmental outcomes were assessed using the Survey of Well-being of Young Children (SWYC). RESULTS: A total of 352 fetuses were included in this study, of whom 138 were healthy and had uncomplicated neonatal outcomes. These fetuses constituted the control group and were used to construct the CSP width reference ranges. Of 185 fetuses in the neurosonography group, 9.7% had wide and 7.6% had narrow CSPs, of whom 33.3% and 22.2%, respectively, scored below the SWYC threshold for expected developmental milestones, a rate similar to that reported in the general population. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of a prenatally isolated wide or narrow CSP does not appear to increase the risk of neonatal neurodevelopmental delay.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the short- and long-term outcome of fetuses with evidence of extension of the choroid plexus into the frontal horns. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study of fetuses diagnosed with isolated choroid plexi extending into the frontal horns. Fetuses with major central nervous system anomalies were excluded. Ultrasound and fetal/postnatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were evaluated. Postnatal outcomes, including developmental assessment, were obtained. RESULTS: Twenty nine fetuses were diagnosed with choroid plexus extension (22 unilateral and 7 bilateral). Gestational age at diagnosis was 19.3 weeks. Three cases (10.3%) presented with nonspecific extra-CNS findings. At presentation, 8/29 (28%) cases had single/multiple choroid plexus cysts (CPC). Twenty-six (89.6%) cases underwent antenatal MRI. On MRI, four cases had punctate susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) foci suggesting trace hemosiderin and two cases had ventriculomegaly. Antenatal follow-up demonstrated resolution of the choroid plexus extension in 90% (18/20). Gestational age at delivery was 39.6 weeks. All had normal neurologic examinations within 24 h of life. Postnatal MRI studies were notable for deep venous differences in seven cases. Long-term clinical outcome was assessed in 14 cases with a median follow-up of 1.75 years, with normal neurodevelopment reported in 13/14 (92.8%). CONCLUSIONS: Most fetuses with an anterior extension of the choroid plexus as the sole sonographic finding had favorable outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to develop and compare strategies that help optimize current prostate biopsy practice by identifying patients who may forgo concurrent systematic biopsy (SBx) in favor of MRI-targeted (TBx) alone. METHODS: Retrospective study on 745 patients who underwent combined MRI-TBx plus SBx. Primary outcome was the upgrade to clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa; grade group ≥ 2) on SBx versus MRI-TBx. Variables (age, previous biopsy status, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score, index lesion size/location, number of lesions, PSA, PSA density, prostate volume) associated with the primary outcome were identified by logistic regression and used for biopsy strategies. Clinical utility was assessed by decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS: SBx detected 47 (6%) additional men with csPCa. The risk of detecting csPCa uniquely on SBx was significantly lower in men with PI-RADS 5 (versus PI-RADS 3: OR 0.30, p = 0.03; versus PI-RADS 4: OR 0.33, p = 0.01), and previous negative biopsy (versus previous positive biopsy: OR 0.40, p = 0.007), and increased with age (per 10 years: OR 1.64, p = 0.016). No significant association was observed for other variables. DCA identified the following strategies as most useful: (a) avoid SBx in men with PI-RADS 5 and (b) additionally in those with previous negative biopsy, resulting in avoiding SBx in 201 (27%) and 429 (58%), while missing csPCa in 5 (1%) and 15 (2%) patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: Not all men benefit equally from the combination of SBx and MRI-TBx. SBx avoidance in men with PI-RADS 5 and/or previous negative biopsy may reduce the risk of excess biopsies with a low risk of missing csPCa. KEY POINTS: ⢠In men undergoing MRI-targeted biopsy, the risk of detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) only on additional systematic biopsy (SBx) decreased in men with PI-RADS 5, previous negative biopsy, and younger age. ⢠Using these variables may help select men who could avoid the risk of excess SBx. ⢠If missing csPCa in 5% was acceptable, forgoing SBx in men with PI-RADS 5 and/or previous negative biopsy enabled the highest net reduction in SBx.

Background In validation studies, risk models for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa; Gleason score ≥3+4) combining multiparametric MRI and clinical factors have demonstrated poor calibration (over- and underprediction) and limited use in avoiding unnecessary prostate biopsies. Purpose MRI-based risk models following local recalibration were compared with a strategy that combined Prostate Imaging Data and Reporting System (PI-RADS; version 2) and prostate-specific antigen density (PSAd) to assess the potential reduction of unnecessary prostate biopsies. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 385 patients without prostate cancer diagnosis who underwent multipara-metric MRI (PI-RADS category ≥3) and MRI-targeted biopsy between 2015 and 2019. Recalibration and selection of the best-performing MRI model (MRI-European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer [ERSPC], van Leeuwen, Radtke, and Mehralivand models) were undertaken in cohort C1 (n = 242; 2015-2017). The impact on biopsy decisions was compared with an alternative strategy (no biopsy for PI-RADS category 3 plus PSAd < 0.1 ng/mL per milliliter) in cohort C2 (n = 143; 2018-2019). Discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility were assessed by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration plots, and decision curve analysis, respectively. Results The prevalence of csPCa was 38% (93 of 242 patients) and 45% (64 of 143 patients) in cohorts C1 and C2, respectively. Decision curve analysis demonstrated the highest net benefit for the van Leeuwen and Mehralivand models in C1. Used for biopsy decisions in C2, van Leeuwen (AUC, 0.84; 95% CI: 0.77, 0.9) and Mehralivand (AUC, 0.79; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.86) enabled no net benefit at a risk threshold of 10%. Up to a risk threshold of 15%, net benefit remained inferior to the PI-RADS plus PSAd strategy, which avoided biopsy in 63 per 1000 men, without missing csPCa. Without prior recalibration in C1, three of four models (MRIERSPC, Radtke, Mehralivand) were poorly calibrated and not clinically useful in C2. Conclusion The number of unnecessary prostate biopsies in men with positive MRI may be safely reduced by using a prostate-specific antigen density-based strategy. In a risk-averse scenario, this strategy enabled better biopsy decisions compared with MRI-based risk models. ©RSNA, 2021 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Since the conception of the Gleason grading system, several modifications have been made, including the definition of Gleason pattern 5 (GP5) and its reporting in biopsies and prostatectomy specimens. This includes the addition of a few GP5 sub-patterns over time such as single file, solid cylinders and pseudorosetting. Comedonecrosis was also adopted as a GP5 pattern, but in 2014 the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) excluded intraductal carcinoma with comedonecrosis from the GP5 sub-patterns, although the vast majority of cases with comedonecrosis actually represent intraductal carcinoma. The 2019 conference on prostate cancer grading re-adopted comedonecrosis as GP5, also if found in intraductal carcinoma. It is well-established that presence of GP5 conveys an unfavourable prognosis for the patient with regards to risk of lymph node and distant metastasis as well as death of disease. However, there is a paucity of data on the prognostic impact of individual GP5 sub-patterns. In biopsies the frequency of diagnosis of GP5 is about 1-5% in most published series and the most common GP5 sub-pattern is single files and single cells. In an institutional biopsy review study we noted an increase in GP5 diagnosis over time which could not be attributed to the adoption of new GP5 sub-patterns or to overdiagnosis, but might be associated with changing biopsy indications. Further studies on the prognostic impact of GP5 sub-patterns and their molecular genetic profile are indicated.

PURPOSE: We assessed whether the visibility of Grade Group (GG) 1 prostate cancer on baseline multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging affects clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 454 men who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging between 2006 and 2018 with maximum GG1 prostate cancer inclusive of magnetic resonance imaging targeted biopsy. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging was graded as negative, equivocal or positive. Assessed outcomes were treatment-free survival, biopsy upgrade-free survival and unfavorable disease at radical prostatectomy (pT 3 or greater and/or GG3 or greater). Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazard analyses were used to estimate the impact of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and clinicopathological variables (age, year, prostate specific antigen density and measures of tumor volume on biopsy) on outcomes. RESULTS: During followup (median 45.2 months) 61 men had disease upgraded on followup biopsy and 139 underwent definitive treatment. In men with negative, equivocal and positive baseline multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging at 5 years, treatment-free survival was 79%, 73% and 49% (p <0.0001), treatment-free survival was 89%, 82% and 70% (p=0.002), and survival without unfavorable disease at radical prostatectomy was 98%, 98% and 86% (p=0.007), respectively. At multivariable analysis positive (HR 1.93, 95% CI 1.21-3.09, p=0.006) and equivocal multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (HR 2.02, 95% CI 1.11-3.68, p=0.02) were associated with shorter treatment-free survival, and positive multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging was a significant prognostic factor for upgrade-free survival (HR 2.03, 95% CI 1.06-3.86, p=0.03) and unfavorable disease at radical prostatectomy (HR 4.45, 95% CI 1.39-18.17, p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Men with positive multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and GG1 prostate cancer on magnetic resonance imaging targeted biopsy are at increased risk for intervention, upgrading and unfavorable disease at radical prostatectomy compared to those with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging invisible GG1 prostate cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Digital rectal examination (DRE) is part of the clinical evaluation of men on active surveillance (AS). The purpose of the present study is to analyze the value of DRE as a predictor of upgrading in a population of men with prostate cancer (PCa) treated with AS. METHODS: We used the prostate biopsy (PBx) database from an academic center, including PBx from 2006-2018, and identified 2029 confirmatory biopsies (CxPBx) of men treated with AS, of which 726 men had both diagnostic (initial) and CxPBx information available. We did a descriptive analysis and evaluated sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of DRE for the detection of clinically significant PCa (csPCa). Multivariable regression analysis was done to identify predictors of csPCa. The primary outcome was to evaluate DRE as a predictor of the presence of csPCa at CxPBx. RESULTS: Among the 2029 patients with a CxPBx, 75% had PCa, and of these, 30.3% had upgrading to International Society of Urologic Pathologists (ISUP) grade ≥2. Thirteen percent of men had a suspicious DRE (done by their treating physician). Sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values of DRE to detect csPCa were best with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) <4 ng/ml (27%, 88%, 31%, and 87%, respectively). A suspicious DRE at CxPBx, particularly if the DRE at diagnosis was negative, was a predictor of csPCa (odds ratio [OR] 2.34, p=0.038). The main limitation of our study is the retrospective design and the lack of magnetic resonance imaging. CONCLUSIONS: We believe DRE should still be used as part of AS and can predict the presence of csPCa, even with low PSA values. A suspicious nodule on DRE represents a higher risk of upgrading and should prompt further assessment.

RESUMO
After diagnosis of prostate cancer is confirmed by a positive biopsy, the tumor may be surgically removed via radical prostatectomy (RP). However, many prostate cancer patients experience biochemical recurrence after surgery and/or undergo salvage radiotherapy or hormone therapy. Timely treatment is required to prevent the spread of disease in these cases, and biopsy tissue may hold potential for disease prognostication before surgery is ever performed. We previously developed a prognostic multigene methylation panel in RP specimens, including APC, CRIP3, HOXD3, and TGFB2. In the current study, this panel was applied to a cohort of biopsy specimens (n = 86), which were assessed for DNA methylation using the real-time quantitative PCR-based multiplex MethyLight. The biopsy-based methylation panel is significantly associated with biochemical recurrence when combined with the current clinical parameter of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels at diagnosis and is able to prognosticate the initiation of salvage radiotherapy, where it outperforms PSA, and/or hormone therapy after RP. In addition, this methylation panel is significantly associated with late recurrence occurring within 5 and 7 years after surgery, when combined with PSA at diagnosis. Combining DNA methylation and clinicopathologic markers at the biopsy stage will not only increase their prognostic ability but will also ensure effective patient management.

BACKGROUND: Extraprostatic extension (EPE) is defined as local spread of prostate cancer (PC) beyond prostate boundaries. Although extensively evaluated in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens, its significance in prostate biopsy (PB) specimens is understudied. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment outcomes for patients with nonmetastatic PC with EPE on diagnostic PB. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We identified all patients at Princess Margaret Cancer Center with EPE on their diagnostic PB between 2005 and 2016. All patients underwent definitive curative-intent treatment with either RP or radiotherapy (RT) with or without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSES: Clinicopathologic variables were compared using a χ2 or Kruskal-Wallis test; log-rank analyses were applied for outcomes comparison. Primary and secondary endpoints were 5-yr biochemical recurrence (BCR) and the occurrence of metastasis or cancer-specific death, respectively. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: A total of 127 patients with reported EPE in their PB were identified. One-third of patients underwent RP (n=43) and two-thirds received RT (n=84). Baseline prognostic variables (prostate-specific antigen, clinical T stage, biopsy pathologic grade group, and proportion of cores involved with PC) were similar between the treatment groups. More than two-thirds of RT patients received concomitant ADT (median duration 36 mo, interquartile range 24-36), while 39.5% of RP patients received postoperative radiotherapy±ADT. Of the RP patients, 95.3% had ≥pT3a disease and 27.9% had pN1 disease. Median follow-up after RP and RT was similar (43.7 vs 45.8 mo; p=0.516). The 5-yr BCR and metastasis rates in the RP versus RT groups were 25.6% versus 11.9% (p=0.09) and 7% versus 11.9% (p=0.386), respectively. Only one patient died from metastatic PC (RT group). Limitations include the single-center and retrospective design with a moderate sample size and relatively short follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: EPE on PB is an infrequent finding that is strongly associated with high-risk clinicopathologic prognostic features that accurately predict EPE in RP specimens. Despite entailing aggressive disease characteristics, EPE on PB should not preclude patients from receiving definitive radical local therapy. PATIENT SUMMARY: Extraprostatic extension on prostate biopsies is an uncommon finding, but is strongly correlated to additional aggressive disease features. This finding accurately predicts the presence of extraprostatic extension on the final prostate specimen after surgery. Despite the associated high-risk features, finding extraprostatic extension in prostate biopsies should not preclude patients from undergoing curative-intent radical local therapy.

OBJECTIVE: Fetal myelomeningocele (fMMC) surgery improves infant outcomes when compared with postnatal surgery. Surgical selection criteria and the option of pregnancy termination, however, limit the number of cases that are eligible for prenatal surgery. We aimed to quantify what proportion of cases could ultimately benefit from fetal therapy. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all cases of fMMC referred to a large tertiary care center over a 10-year period and assessed their eligibility for fetal surgery, pregnancy termination rates, and actual uptake of the surgery. RESULTS: Of 158 cases, 67 (42%) were ineligible for fetal surgery based on surgical exclusion criteria. Eleven fetuses (7%) had chromosomal anomalies, 10 of which (91%) had other anomalies on ultrasound. Thirty-four patients had a combination of maternal and fetal contraindications. Of the remaining 91 eligible cases (58%), 45 (49%) pregnancies were terminated, leaving only 46 (29% of initial 158 cases) as potential candidates for fetal repair. Actual uptake of fetal surgery was 15% (n = 14 of 91), but this increased after a national program was started. CONCLUSION: Only a minority of fMMC cases will ultimately undergo fetal surgery. These numbers support the centralization of care in expert centers.

OBJECTIVE: To correlate the findings on 3T multiparametric prostate MRI using PIRADS version 2 with prostate biopsy results as the standard of reference. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 134 consecutive treatment naive patients (mean age 64 years, range 41-82 years) underwent MRI-directed prostate biopsy. MRI-TRUS fusion biopsy was used for 77 (77/134 = 57.5%) patients, cognitive fusion for 51 (51/134 = 38.0%) patients, and 6 patients (6/134 = 4.5%) without a target nodule had systematic biopsy only. Out of the 1676 biopsy sites, 237 (237/1676 = 14.1%) were positive on MRI for a PIRADS 3, 4, or 5 nodule. Fifty-eight (58/134, 43.3%) patients had clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). The findings on MRI using PIRADS version 2 were correlated with the biopsy results. RESULTS: The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of PIRADS ≥ 3 for csPCa were 89%, 76.5%, 89.7%, 31.7%, and 98.4%, respectively. The detection rates of csPCa for PIRADS 3, 4, and 5 nodules were 6.1% (4/66), 33.3% (42/126), and 64.4% (29/45), respectively. MRI did not identify a nodule in 23/1676 (1.4%) biopsy sites that contained csPCa. The MRI reader, biopsy operator, method of fusion biopsy, and zonal location of prostate nodule did not significantly affect the odds of having a biopsy result positive for csPCa. CONCLUSION: PIRADS ≥ 3 had high specificity and high negative predictive value for csPCa using biopsy results as the standard of reference. The presence of csPCa from a biopsy site was highly unlikely in the absence of a corresponding PIRADS ≥ 3 nodule.

PURPOSE: Longitudinal cohort studies and guidelines demonstrate that prostate specific antigen 1 ng/ml or greater in younger patients confers an increased risk of delayed prostate cancer death. At our institution we have used an aggressive biopsy strategy in younger patients with prostate specific antigen 1 ng/ml or greater. Our objective was to determine the proportion of detected cancer and specifically clinically significant cancer by this strategy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The prostate biopsy database at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre was queried for patients younger than 50 years who underwent a first prostate biopsy between 2000 and 2016. We included only patients who underwent prostate biopsy due to prostate specific antigen 1 ng/ml or greater and those with a suspicious digital rectal examination, a positive family history or a suspicious lesion on transrectal ultrasound. All clinical and pathological parameters were analyzed. Patients were stratified according to specific prostate specific antigen values. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to ascertain predictors of any prostate cancer diagnosis and of clinically significant prostate cancer. RESULTS: Of the 199 patients who met study inclusion criteria 37 (19%) were diagnosed with prostate cancer and 8 (22%) had a Gleason score of 7 or greater. Of those diagnosed with prostate cancer 25 (68%) had prostate specific antigen 1.5 ng/ml or greater and all men with a Gleason score of 7 or greater had prostate specific antigen 1.5 ng/ml or greater. Notably 19 patients (51%) had prostate cancer exceeding the Epstein criteria for active surveillance. Factors predicting prostate cancer included a positive family history, rising prostate specific antigen and lower prostate volume. CONCLUSIONS: Our results justify adopting an aggressive prostate biopsy strategy in men younger than 50 years with prostate specific antigen 1.5 ng/ml or greater while patients with prostate specific antigen less than 1.5 ng/ml are unlikely to have significant cancer. Special attention should be given to patients with a smaller prostate and a positive family history.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare biopsy detection of intraductal and cribriform pattern invasive prostate carcinoma in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging positive and negative regions of the prostate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We queried a prospectively maintained, single institution database to identify patients who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy and concurrent systematic sextant biopsy of magnetic resonance imaging negative regions between January 2013 and May 2016. All multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging targets were reviewed retrospectively by 2 readers for the PI-RADS™ (Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System), version 2 score, the maximum dimension, the apparent diffusion coefficient parameter and whether positive or negative on dynamic contrast enhancement sequence. Biopsy slides were reviewed by 2 urological pathologists for Gleason score/Grade Group and the presence or absence of an intraductal/cribriform pattern. RESULTS: A total of 154 patients were included in study. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy and systematic sextant biopsy of magnetic resonance imaging negative regions were negative for prostate carcinoma in 51 patients, leaving 103 available for the correlation of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and the intraductal/cribriform pattern. Prostate carcinoma was identified by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy in 93 cases and by systematic sextant biopsy of magnetic resonance imaging negative regions in 76 (p = 0.008). Intraductal/cribriform positive tumor was detected in 23 cases, including at the multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy site in 22 and at the systematic sextant biopsy of magnetic resonance imaging negative region site in 3 (p <0.001). The intraductal/cribriform pattern was significantly associated with a PI-RADS score of 5 and a decreasing apparent diffusion coefficient value (p = 0.008 and 0.005, respectively). In 19 of the 23 cases with the intraductal/cribriform pattern prior 12-core standard systematic biopsy was negative in 8 and showed Grade Group 1 disease in 11. CONCLUSIONS: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy was associated with significantly increased detection of intraductal/cribriform positive prostate carcinoma compared to systematic sextant biopsy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging negative regions. This supports the role of magnetic resonance imaging to enhance the detection of clinically aggressive intraductal/cribriform positive prostate carcinoma.

INTRODUCTION: To reduce unnecessary prostate biopsies while using novel tests judiciously, we created a tool to predict the probability of clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPC) vs. low-risk prostate cancer or negative biopsy (i.e., when intervention is likely not needed) among men undergoing initial or repeat biopsy. METHODS: Separate models were created for men undergoing initial and repeat biopsy, identified from our institutional biopsy database and the placebo arm of the REDUCE trial, respectively, to predict the presence of CSPC (Gleason≥7 or>33% of cores involved). Predictors considered included age, race, body mass index, family history of prostate cancer, digital rectal examination, prostate volume, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), free-to-total PSA, presence of high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia or atypical small acinar proliferation on prior biopsy, number of prior biopsies, and number of cores previously taken. Multivariable logistic regression models that minimized the Akaike Information Criterion and maximized out-of-sample area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) were selected. RESULTS: Of 7,963 biopsies (initial = 2,042; repeat = 5,921), 1,138 had CSPC (initial = 870 [42.6%]; repeat = 268 [4.5%]). Age, race, body mass index, family history, digital rectal examination, and PSA were included in the initial biopsy model (out-of-sample AUC = 0.74). Age, prostate volume, PSA, free-to-total PSA, prior high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, and number of prior biopsies were included in the repeat biopsy model (out-of-sample AUC = 0.81). CONCLUSION: These prediction models may help guide clinicians in avoiding unnecessary initial and repeat biopsies in men unlikely to harbor CSPC. This tool may also allow for the more judicious use of novel tests only in patients in need of further risk stratification before deciding whether to biopsy.

INTRODUCTION: We sought to determine if prostate cancer (PCa) is associated with worse lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) than matched benign prostates, with attention to cancer characteristics, in a contemporary cohort. METHODS: Using a single-institution database (January 1, 2009-June 30, 2013), men diagnosed with PCa on biopsy and controls with negative biopsies were matched 1:1 on age, prostate volume, and a propensity score predicting the probability of PCa diagnosis. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was compared between PCa cases and controls using paired statistics, stratifying on grade, cancer volume, stage, and D'Amico risk group. Sensitivity analyses were performed separately, repeating the match for high-grade, high-volume, and high-stage cancers only, and excluding users of benign prostatic hyperplasia medications. RESULTS: In our cohort of 1330 men (665 with PCa), there were 284 (42.7%) Gleason 6 cancers (Grade Group 1), 315 (47.4%) Gleason 7 cancers (Grade Group 2-3), and 66 (9.9%) Gleason 8-10 cancers (Grade Group 4-5). There was no difference in IPSS between PCa cases (median 6.5, interquartile range [IQR] 3-12) and benign controls (median 7, IQR 3-13; p=0.34). Subgroup analyses based on cancer grade, volume, or stage, showed no significant differences in IPSS between men with and without PCa, except among men with cT2b-cT4 PC (median 9, IQR 5-16) vs. matched benign counterparts (median 8, IQR 3-12; p=0.03). Sensitivity analyses supported these findings. CONCLUSIONS: Modern PCa does not appear to be associated with worse LUTS compared to benign prostates of the same size. Outlet obstruction is likely a late event in the natural history of PCa. This has implications for timely PCa detection, which should ideally be prior to the onset of LUTS.
RESUMO
Background: There is a need for markers that can specifically identify individuals at increased risk of harboring aggressive forms of prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: We surveyed the Kallikrein ( KLK ) region ( KLK 1-15) for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with aggressive PCa (Gleason Score ≥ 8) in 1858 PCa patients. Discovery cohorts (Swiss arm of the European Randomized Study of Screening for PCa, n = 379; Toronto, Canada, n = 540) and a validation cohort (Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian [PLCO] screening trial, n = 939) were analyzed. Fine-mapping within the KLK region was carried out by genotyping and imputation in the discovery cohort, whereas PLCO data were provided through database of Genotypes and Phenotypes ( dbGaP ). The influence of SNPs of interest on biochemical-free survival was evaluated in a cohort of localized PCa from the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC; n = 130) analyzed with next-generation sequencing. Single- and multi-SNP association studies, as well as haplotype analyses, were performed. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results: Several SNPs in very strong linkage disequilibrium in the KLK 6 region and located within the same haplotype (rs113640578, rs79324425, rs11666929, rs28384475, rs3810287), identified individuals at increased risk of aggressive PCa in both discovery (odds ratio [OR] = 3.51-3.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.01 to 6.36, P = 1.0x10 -5 -8.4x10 -6 ) and validation (OR = 1.89-1.96, 95% CI = 0.99 to 3.71, P = .04-.05) cohorts. The overall test of haplotype association was highly statistically significant in each cohort ( P = 3.5x10 -4 and .006, respectively) and in the three data sets combined ( P = 2.3x10 -5 ). These germline SNPs independently predicted relapse in the ICGC cohort (hazard ratio = 3.15, 95% CI = 1.57 to 6.34, P = .001). Conclusions: Our fine-mapping study has identified novel loci in the KLK 6 region strongly associated with aggressive PCa.
