Abstract
Objective: To report on the outcomes of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/ultrasonography (US)-fusion transperineal prostate (TP) biopsy at a tertiary medical centre in the Middle East including detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), complications, and tolerability of the procedure. Patients and methods: Between May 2019 and June 2020, 98 MRI/US-fusion TP biopsies were performed in the US suite using light sedation. All patients had pre-biopsy 3-T multiparametric MRI. Data on patient characteristics, PCa detection rate and complication rates were collected retrospectively. A Gleason score ≥3 + 4 was defined as csPCa.
Results: There were 98 patients, with a mean (SD) age of 65 (9.1) years, and a median (SD) prostate-specific antigen level prior to biopsy of 7.53 (12.97) ng/mL and prostate volume of 51 (31.1) mL. PCa was detected in 54 (55%) patients, with csPCa detected in 43 (44%). A total of 124 Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 3-5 lesions were targeted. Grade Group ≥2 PCa was found in 35.5% of the targeted lesions. Random biopsies detected one csPCa Gleason score 3 + 4 in one patient with a negative target. None of the patients had post-biopsy haematuria or retention. Only one patient developed acute prostatitis requiring in-patient intravenous antibiotics.
Conclusions: MRI/US-fusion TP biopsy has an adequate detection rate of csPCa with minimal complications and low infection rates after biopsy. This is one of the first TP biopsy series in the Middle East paving the way for wider adoption in the region.
期刊介绍:
The Arab Journal of Urology is a peer-reviewed journal that strives to provide a high standard of research and clinical material to the widest possible urological community worldwide. The journal encompasses all aspects of urology including: urological oncology, urological reconstructive surgery, urodynamics, female urology, pediatric urology, endourology, transplantation, erectile dysfunction, and urinary infections and inflammations. The journal provides reviews, original articles, editorials, surgical techniques, cases reports and correspondence. Urologists, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and scientists are invited to submit their contributions to make the Arab Journal of Urology a viable international forum for the practical, timely and state-of-the-art clinical urology and basic urological research.
