Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that men with prostate cancer (PCA) and preoperative disease features considered favorable for focal treatment would be accurately characterized with transrectal biopsy and prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by performing a retrospective analysis of a selected cohort of such patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP). METHODS: A total of 202 patients with PCA who had preoperative MRI and low-risk biopsy criteria (no Gleason grade 4/5, 1 involved core, < 2 mm, PSA density < or = 0.10, clinical stage < or = T2a) were included in the study. Indolent RP pathology was defined as no Gleason 4/5, organ confined, tumor volume < 0.5 mL, and negative surgical margins. MRI ability to locate and determine the tumor extent was assessed. RESULTS: After RP, 101 men (50%) had nonindolent cancer. Multifocal and bilateral tumors were present in 81% and 68% of patients, respectively. MRI indicated extensive disease in 16 (8%). MRI sensitivity to locate PCA ranged from 2% to 20%, and specificity from 91% to 95%. On univariate analysis, MRI evidence of extracapsular extension (P = .027) and extensive disease (P = .001) were associated with nonindolent cancer. On multivariate analysis, only the latter remained as significant predictor (P = .0018). CONCLUSIONS: Transrectal biopsy identified men with indolent tumors favorable for focal treatment in 50% of cases. MRI findings of extracapsular extension and extensive tumor involving more than half of the gland are associated with unfavorable features, and may be useful in excluding patients from focal treatment. According to these data, endorectal MRI is not sufficient to localize small tumors for focal treatment.
