Abstract
Background: To report active surveillance (AS) outcomes in patients with Grade Group (GG) 2 prostate cancer (PCa) according to the baseline amount of pattern 4 on image-guided biopsy.
Methods: Our database includes GG2 PCa patients managed with AS in ten European centers.
Results: In total, 104 patients were included (median pattern 4: 10%, ranges 5-40). The percentage of pattern 4 was not statistically correlated with upgrading (Spearman, r = 0.073, p = 0.5) or downgrading on confirmatory biopsy (r = -0.049, p = 0.6). The median follow-up was 33 months. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, percentage of pattern 4 was not associated with GG3 upgrading (p = 0.6) or definitive treatment (p = 0.4).
Conclusions: Patients with GG2 PCa should not be excluded from AS solely because of grade 4 > 10% when other parameters are otherwise favorable.
期刊介绍:
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases covers all aspects of prostatic diseases, in particular prostate cancer, the subject of intensive basic and clinical research world-wide. The journal also reports on exciting new developments being made in diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy, drug discovery and medical management.
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases is of interest to surgeons, oncologists and clinicians treating patients and to those involved in research into diseases of the prostate. The journal covers the three main areas - prostate cancer, male LUTS and prostatitis.
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases publishes original research articles, reviews, topical comment and critical appraisals of scientific meetings and the latest books. The journal also contains a calendar of forthcoming scientific meetings. The Editors and a distinguished Editorial Board ensure that submitted articles receive fast and efficient attention and are refereed to the highest possible scientific standard.
