Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the risk factors for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPCa) in patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score≤3 on multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the case data of 335 patients with suspected prostate cancer and PI-RADS score ≤3 who were admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2013 to October 2022. All patients underwent 24-needle prostate biopsy. Clinical data such as age, body mass index, past medical history, serological laboratory indicators, and mpMRI imaging data were collected. The patients were grouped according to whether the puncture pathology was CSPCa or not, and the differences in clinical data between the two groups were analyzed by t-test, rank sum test and Chi-test. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was further used to determine independent risk factors for MRI invisible prostate cancer, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were drawn. At the same time, further subgroup analysis was conducted based on whether prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was positive before puncture and PI-RADS score, respectively, and the same statistical method was used to further determine the influence of different serological indicators and PI-RADS score on the analysis results of risk factors. Results:Among all patients, 81 were CSPCa patients and 254 were non-CSPCa patients. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) and PI-RADS score of 3 were independent risk factors for MRI invisible prostate cancer. At the same time, compared with suspected lesions located only in the transitional zone, the incidence of CSPCa in patients with suspected lesions located in the peripheral zone would increase, and the incidence of CSPCa would further increase when suspected lesions were found in both the transitional zone and the peripheral zone. In PSA-negative patients, only suspected lesion location was an independent risk factor for MRI invisible prostate cancer, while in PSA-positive patients, prostate volume, PSAD, and PI-RADS scores were independent risk factors. In subgroup analysis with different PI-RADS scores, suspicious lesions in both the transitional zone and peripheral zone indicate a higher likelihood of CSPCa. For patients with PI-RADS scores of 1 to 2, suspicious lesions in the peripheral zone alone may also indicated CSPCa, while for patients with PI-RADS scores of 3, the lower free prostate-specific antigen/total prostate-specific anti-principle was more accurate in predicting CSPCa.Conclusions:For patients who are clinically suspected of prostate cancer but whose PI-RADS score is less than or equal to 3 points indicated by mpMRI, it is necessary to further focus on the results of different serological indicators according to whether their PSA is positive and PI-RADS score respectively to judge whether patients should receive systemic prostate puncture, instead of using PSA level as a single indication for puncture. At the same time, clinicians should also pay full attention to the location of suspected lesions, when they are located in the peripheral zone, or there are suspected lesions in both the peripheral zone and the transitional zone, the possibility of CSPCa should be fully considered.
