ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate active surveillance (AS) outcomes including overall survival (OS), freedom from distant metastases (FDM), freedom from therapeutic intervention (FTI), and quality of life (QOL) outcomes in prostate cancer patients using transperineal template-guided mapping biopsy (TTMB) for patient selection.METHODS:
From April 2005-January 2016, 226 consecutive, prospectively evaluated prostate cancer patients underwent TTMB for either low-grade prostate cancer or persistently elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and/or the presence of ASAP. Evaluated outcomes included OS, FDM, FTI and QOL including urinary, bowel, sexual function and depression. Repeat biopsy was based on PSA kinetics and/or abnormal digital rectal examination.RESULTS:
Of the 226 patients, 212 (93.8%) were Gleason 3 + 3 and 14 (6.2%) were Gleason 3 + 4. The median follow-up was 5.0 years (range 0.8-13.0 years). The mean prostate volume was 61.3 cm3 with a mean of 59.5 TTMB cores/patient. At the time of AS enrollment, an average of 72.9 cores (TRUS + TTMB) had been obtained for each patient. At 8 years, OS, FTI and FDM were 92.5, 96.8 and 100%. Two hundred and twenty-two patients (98.2%) had a PSA doubling time of more than 3 years. No statistical changes in urinary function, bowel function or depression were noted. At 8 years, 73% of the patients maintained erectile function.CONCLUSION:
Within the confines of the follow-up of this study, the use of TTMB for patient selection identifies a cohort of patients unlikely to develop biochemical or clinical progression and maintain a favorable quality of life.Palabras clave
