{"title":"A 10-year analysis of MRI-driven prostate cancer diagnosis and active surveillance: trends and implications","authors":"Nikita Sushentsev, Rosita Comune, Kazim Ayberk Sinci, Oleg Blyuss, Iztok Caglič, Christof Kastner, Tristan Barrett","doi":"10.1111/bju.16743","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/bju.16743","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Since the 2012 publication of the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) recommendations [<span>1</span>], pre-biopsy MRI has emerged as the first-line diagnostic test in patients with suspected clinically localised prostate cancer (PCa). Initially endorsed by European and British guidelines in 2019 [<span>2, 3</span>] and subsequently reflected in the major North American guidelines [<span>4, 5</span>], this approach is supported by Level-1 evidence showing MRI reduces unnecessary biopsies in patients without MRI-identified suspicious lesions, while maintaining acceptable detection rates for clinically significant PCa (csPCa). These guidelines also recommend MRI for eligibility assessment and subsequent follow-up of patients with PCa on active surveillance (AS), a management strategy with increasing global uptake [<span>6</span>].</p>\u0000<p>In October 2014, our centre was among the first to implement dedicated MRI-driven diagnostic and AS programmes. Here, we present their impact on csPCa detection and AS enrolment over a decade.</p>\u0000<p>The local ethics committee approved this retrospective analysis of the local database, with consent taken from patients undergoing diagnostic procedures at our institution (Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Integrated Research Application System identifier [IRAS ID]: 313163 for pre-biopsy MRI data, Cambridge University Hospitals [CUH]/18/3592 for AS data). Data were analysed from all patients undergoing pre-biopsy prostate MRI during a 10-year period (October 2014 to October 2024) (Fig. 1A). csPCa was defined as biopsy-confirmed Grade Group (GG) ≥2 disease. Patients who commenced AS in our centre over the same period and had ≥12 months of follow-up were also included (Fig. 1D). AS misclassification was recorded if a patient showed either radiological progression to ≥rT3 stage or histological progression to GG ≥3 disease within 12 months of AS enrolment. Considering the COVID-19 disruption to imaging services, two observation periods were defined: pre-pandemic (Years 1–5) and post-pandemic (Years 7–10), with the latter also reflecting the impact of the 2019 national guidance recommending the omission of biopsies in patients without MRI-visible disease [<span>3</span>]. A two-sample <i>z</i>-test for proportions was used to compare the relevant csPCa diagnosis and AS progression rates between these two independent periods.</p>\u0000<figure><picture>\u0000<source media=\"(min-width: 1650px)\" srcset=\"/cms/asset/cf9e1b78-6715-472e-82db-f8e07ab86c76/bju16743-fig-0001-m.jpg\"/><img alt=\"Details are in the caption following the image\" data-lg-src=\"/cms/asset/cf9e1b78-6715-472e-82db-f8e07ab86c76/bju16743-fig-0001-m.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"/cms/asset/f6de0524-9867-4db5-8fcf-f364ff24e016/bju16743-fig-0001-m.png\" title=\"Details are in the caption following the image\"/></picture><figcaption>\u0000<div><strong>Fig. 1<span style=\"font-weight:normal\"></span></strong><div>Open in figure viewer<i aria-hidden=\"true","PeriodicalId":8985,"journal":{"name":"BJU International","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143827571","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}
