Abstract

Objectives: An increasing number of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) undergo assessment with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT). This offers comprehensive multimodality staging but can lead to discrepancies. The objective was to assess the rates and types of discordance between MRI and PSMA-PET/CT for primary PCa assessment.

Materials and methods: Consecutive men diagnosed with intermediate and high-risk PCa who underwent MRI and PSMA-PET/CT in 2021-2023 were retrospectively included. MRI and PSMA-PET/CT were interpreted using PI-RADS v2.1 and PRIMARY scores. Discordances between the two imaging modalities were categorized as "minor" (larger or additional lesion seen on one modality) or "major" (positive on only one modality or different index lesions between MRI and PSMA-PET/CT) and reconciled using radical prostatectomy or biopsy specimens.

Results: Three hundred and nine men (median age 69 years, interquartile range (IQR) 64-75) were included. Most had Gleason Grade Group ≥ 3 PCa (70.9% (219/309)). Median PSA was 9.0 ng/mL (IQR 5.6-13.6). MRI and PSMA-PET/CT were concordant in 157/309 (50.8%) and discordant in 152/309 (49.1%) patients; with 39/152 (25.7%) major and 113/152 (74.3%) minor discordances. Of 27 patients with lesions only seen on MRI, 85.2% (23/27) were clinically significant PCa (csPCa). Of 23 patients with lesions only seen on PSMA-PET/CT, 78.3% (18/23) were csPCa. Altogether, lesions seen on only one modality were csPCa in 80.0% (36/45).

Conclusion: MRI and PSMA-PET/CT were discordant in half of patients for primary PCa evaluation, with major discrepancies seen in roughly one out of eight patients.

Key points: Question While both MRI and PSMA-PET/CT can be used for primary tumor assessment, the discordances between them are not well established. Findings MRI and PSMA-PET/CT were discordant in about half of the patients. Most prostate lesions seen on only one modality were significant cancer. Clinical relevance MRI and PSMA-PET/CT are often discordant for assessing the primary prostate tumor. Using both modalities for primary prostate tumor evaluation can provide complementary information that may substantially impact treatment planning.

期刊介绍: European Radiology (ER) continuously updates scientific knowledge in radiology by publication of strong original articles and state-of-the-art reviews written by leading radiologists. A well balanced combination of review articles, original papers, short communications from European radiological congresses and information on society matters makes ER an indispensable source for current information in this field. This is the Journal of the European Society of Radiology, and the official journal of a number of societies. From 2004-2008 supplements to European Radiology were published under its companion, European Radiology Supplements, ISSN 1613-3749.
