In mpMRI based multivariate analyses, the maximum diameter of the index lesion (HR 1.081, 95%Cl 1.015–1.151, p = 0.015) the presence of PI-RADS 5 lesions (HR 2.604, 95%Cl 1.043–6.493, p = 0.04), ≥iT3a stage (HR 2.403, 95%Cl 1.013–5.714, p = 0.046) and ISUP grade ≥4 on biopsy (HR 2.440, 95%Cl 1.123–5.301, p = 0.024) were independent predictors of BCR. In regression tree analysis, patients were stratified into three risk groups: maximum diameter of index lesion, biopsy ISUP grade, and clinical stage on mpMRI. The regression tree–derived risk stratification model had moderate-good accuracy in predicting early BCR (AUC 77 %)</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Straightforward mpMRI and mpMRI-derived biopsy-based risk stratification for BCR prediction provide an additional clinical predictive model to the currently available pathological risk tools.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51185,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Oncology-Oxford","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 102150"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142331950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
