Abstract
BACKGROUND

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers among men. Various strategies for targeted biopsy based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) have emerged, which may improve the accuracy of detecting clinically significant PCa in recent years.

AIM

To investigate the diagnostic efficiency of a template for cognitive MRI-ultrasound fusion transperineal targeted plus randomized biopsy in detecting PCa.

METHODS

Data from patients with an increasing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level but less than 20 ng/mL and at least one lesion suspicious for PCa on MRI from December 2015 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent cognitive fusion transperineal template-guided targeted biopsy followed by randomized biopsy outside the targeted area. A total of 127 patients with complete data were included in the final analysis. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted, and a two-sided P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS

PCa was detected in 66 of 127 patients, and 56 cases presented clinically significant PCa. Cognitive fusion targeted biopsy alone detected 59/127 cases of PCa, specifically 52/59 cases with clinically significant PCa and 7/59 cases with clinically insignificant PCa. A randomized biopsy detected seven cases of PCa negative on targeted biopsy, and four cases had clinically significant PCa. PSA density (OR: 1.008, 95%CI: 1.003-1.012, P = 0.001; OR: 1.006, 95%CI: 1.002-1.010, P = 0.004) and Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) scores (both P < 0.001) were independently associated with the results of cognitive fusion targeted biopsy combined with randomized biopsy and targeted biopsy alone.

CONCLUSION

This single-centered study proposed a feasible template for cognitive MRI-ultrasound fusion transperineal targeted plus randomized biopsy. Patients with higher PSAD and PI-RADS scores were more likely to be diagnosed with PCa.

Core Tip: Prostate biopsy remains the standard diagnostic modality before curative treatment. Cognitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-ultrasound fusion biopsy is a more accessible and economical biopsy technique for small-sample institutions to realize imaging-guided targeted biopsy. In this study, we proposed a customized template and reported a feasible approach for cognitive MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy with our single institutional experience. The results from this retrospective study revealed that a high yield of cancer, and that patients with higher prostate-specific antigen density and Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System scores are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer under this biopsy strategy.
