Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Despite a negative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), some patients may still harbor clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa, Gleason grade group ≥2). High-resolution micro-ultrasound (microUS) is a novel imaging technology that could visualize csPCa that is missed by MRI.
METHODS
This retrospective review included 1011 consecutive patients biopsied between September 2021 and July 2023 in Alberta, Canada. Among them were 103 biopsy-naive patients with negative MRI (Prostate Imaging Reporting & Data System [PI-RADS] ≤2) undergoing microUS-informed prostate biopsy (n=56) scored using Prostate Risk Identification Using Micro-ultrasound (PRI-MUS) or standard transrectal ultrasound prostate biopsy (n=47). The primary outcome was detection rate of csPCa stratified by biopsy technique and PRI-MUS score.
RESULTS
MicroUS biopsy identified csPCa in 14/56 (25%) compared to standard biopsy in 8/47 (17%) (p=0.33). Patients with lesions PRI-MUS ≥3 had csPCa detected at a higher rate compared to patients with PRI-MUS ≤2 (42% vs. 16%, p=0.03). The csPCa detection rate was significantly different comparing patients with PSA density <0.15 and PRI-MUS ≤2 compared to patients with PSA density ≥0.15 and PRI-MUS ≥3 (14% vs. 60%, p=0.02).
CONCLUSIONS
MicroUS may aid in the detection of csPCa for patients with negative MRI.
