Yield of concurrent systemic biopsy during MRI-targeted biopsy according to Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 in patients with suspected prostate cancer.
OBJECTIVES
To investigate the yield of concurrent systemic biopsy (SB) during MRI-targeted biopsy (MRTB) as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2 (v2) interpretations in patients with suspected prostate cancer (PCa).


METHODS
A total of 285 patients with suspected PCa underwent prebiopsy 3-T MRI, followed by MRI-transrectal ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy and concurrent standard SB for lesions with PI-RADS v2 scores 3-5. Detection rates and positive core rates of PCa and clinically significant cancer (CSC) were evaluated.


RESULTS
In concurrent MRTB and SB, PCa and CSC detection rates were 18.9% and 9.4% for PI-RADS score 3, 45.9% and 32.4% for PI-RADS score 4, and 82.1% and 72.6% for PI-RADS score 5, respectively. Overall detection rate of CSCs (40.0%) for concurrent MRTB and SB was significantly higher than that of MRTB (34.4%, p = 0.004) or SB alone (27.7%, p < 0.001): an increase of 5.6% (16 patients) compared with MRTB alone. For patients with PI-RADS score 4 or 5, the CSC detection rate of concurrent MRTB and SB was 47.0%, an increase of 6.1% when compared with MRTB (40.9%) only (p < 0.001). Of the 110 patients with both MRTB- and SB-positive findings, 22 (20.0%) had the highest Gleason score in SB compared with that in MRTB. In 9.5% (27/285) patients including 12 patients with CSCs, only SB was positive, with negative MRTB.


CONCLUSION
Concurrent SB with MRTB based on PI-RADS v2 can yield a higher CSC detection rate compared with MRTB alone in patients with suspected PCa.


KEY POINTS
• Concurrent SB with MRTB yields an increase of 5.6% CSC detection compared with MRTB alone. • Of both MRTB- and SB-positive findings, 20.0% patients have upgraded Gleason score in SB. • In 18.4% patients, only SB was positive, with negative MRTB. Adding MRTB to SB is helpful for adequate risk stratification, reducing diagnostic uncertainty of PCa.
