{"title":"Incidence, surveillance and natural history of high‐grade prostatic epithelial neoplasia in the era of multiparametric MRI and targeted biopsy","authors":"Nathalie Eid, Herbert Lepor","doi":"10.1111/bju.16748","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/bju.16748","url":null,"abstract":"ObjectivesTo determine the incidence of isolated high grade prostatic epithelial neoplasia (iHGPIN) following magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–ultrasonography co‐registration fusion targeted biopsy (MRFTB) coupled with systematic biopsy (SB) and to assess the detection rates of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa).Patients and MethodsBeginning in June 2012, most patients at our institution underwent multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) before prostate biopsy. Biopsies were performed between June 2012 and October 2021. The surveillance protocol for iHGPIN included prostate‐specific antigen assessment every 6 months, digital rectal examinations annually, and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) at 3 years. Repeat biopsies were recommended primarily for suspicious mpMRI, defined as a new Prostate Imaging‐Reporting and Data System (PI‐RADS) score >2 region of interest (ROI) or an increase in size of the pre‐existing ROI.ResultsOf the 628 biopsies, 230 (33.7%), 48 (7.0%), 404 (59.2%) were interpreted as benign, iHGPIN, or prostate cancer (PCa), respectively. Of these cancers 140 (34.7%) and 264 (65.3%) were low‐risk PCa and csPCa, respectively. iHGPIN was detected in MRRFTB only, SB only, and both MRFRB + SB in six (12.5%) 36 (75%), and six patients (12.5%), respectively. Of the 32 MRI scans performed at 3 years, a new PI‐RADS score >2 ROI or an increase in the size or PI‐RADS score of a pre‐existing ROI was observed in four and eight patients, respectively. Nine of these underwent biopsy. Three additional biopsies were performed on non‐suspicious mpMRI. csPCa was detected in two patients, both with an enlarging ROI.ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first study examining the incidence, natural history, and subsequent csPCa detection rates for iHGPIN in the era of mpMRI and MRI targeted biopsy. The lower prevalence of iHGPIN is attributed to the selection of biopsy candidates based on mpMRI and an increased likelihood of detecting pre‐existing csPCa. Our findings provide compelling evidence that biopsy strategies limited to MRI targets will almost eliminate iHGPIN detection while decreasing detection of csPCa. A 3‐year biopsy should be performed only in men with suspicious mpMRI.","PeriodicalId":8985,"journal":{"name":"BJU International","volume":"254 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PSM was stratified by extent (focal extensive). The CAPRA score was used for risk group stratification. BCR was defined as a prostate‐specific antigen level >0.2 ng/mL. Additional treatment was defined as salvage radiotherapy (sRT) and/or androgen‐deprivation therapy (ADT).ResultsIn total 227 patients had a PSM (21.8%).

A matched‐pair analysis of R‐RPLNDs and O‐RPLNDs was conducted based on the following criteria: surgical indication, histology, clinical stage (CS), and tumour size. The primary endpoint of this analysis was progression‐free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were peri‐operative parameters.ResultsBased on surgical indication, the R‐RPLND cohort was divided into four groups: CS II seminoma (Group 1, 42 patients); marker‐negative CS II non‐seminoma (Group 2, 15 patients); CS I non‐seminoma with high‐risk factors (Group 3, seven patients), and post‐chemotherapy patients (Group 4, 34 patients). Two patients were excluded due to uncommon testicular histology. With a mean follow‐up of 32, 31, 32 and 28 months in the four groups, respectively, relapses occurred in 10/42 of Group 1, 3/15 of Group 2, and 1/7 of Group 3, while all patients remained relapse‐free in Group 4. The matched‐pair analysis revealed that histological retroperitoneal lymph node dissection specimens, relapse rates, and PFS were similar in the R‐RPLND and O‐RPLND groups. R‐RPLND had advantages in terms of a shorter hospital stay as a surrogate for less morbidity.ConclusionIn selected patients and selected surgical indications, R‐RPLND represents a minimally invasive alternative to O‐RPLND in the management of patients with testicular germ cell tumours.","PeriodicalId":8985,"journal":{"name":"BJU International","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143857481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
