Diagnosis of prostate cancer with magnetic resonance imaging in men treated with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate if exposure to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) modifies the effect of MRI for the diagnosis of clinically significant Prostate Cancer (csPCa) (ISUP Gleason grade ≥ 2).

Methods

This study is a multicenter cohort study including patients undergoing prostate biopsy and MRI at 24 institutions between 2013 and 2022. Multivariable analysis predicting csPCa with an interaction term between 5-ARIs and PIRADS score was performed. Sensitivity, specificity, and negative (NPV) and positive (PPV) predictive values of MRI were compared in treated and untreated patients.

Results

705 patients (9%) were treated with 5-ARIs [median age 69 years, Interquartile range (IQR): 65, 73; median PSA 6.3 ng/ml, IQR 4.0, 9.0; median prostate volume 53 ml, IQR 40, 72] and 6913 were 5-ARIs naïve (age 66 years, IQR 60, 71; PSA 6.5 ng/ml, IQR 4.8, 9.0; prostate volume 50 ml, IQR 37, 65). MRI showed PIRADS 1-2, 3, 4, and 5 lesions in 141 (20%), 158 (22%), 258 (37%), and 148 (21%) patients treated with 5-ARIs, and 878 (13%), 1764 (25%), 2948 (43%), and 1323 (19%) of untreated patients (p < 0.0001). No difference was found in csPCa detection rates, but diagnosis of high-grade PCa (ISUP GG ≥ 3) was higher in treated patients (23% vs 19%, p = 0.013). We did not find any evidence of interaction between PIRADS score and 5-ARIs exposure in predicting csPCa. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of PIRADS ≥ 3 were 94%, 29%, 46%, and 88% in treated patients and 96%, 18%, 43%, and 88% in untreated patients, respectively.

Conclusions

Exposure to 5-ARIs does not affect the association of PIRADS score with csPCa. Higher rates of high-grade PCa were detected in treated patients, but most were clearly visible on MRI as PIRADS 4 and 5 lesions.

Project description:Importance5-alpha-reductase-inhibitors (5-ARIs) are approved for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and have been found to reduce prostate cancer (PCa) risk by 25%. However, trials also have shown 5-ARIs to be associated with high-grade PCa. Whether 5-ARIs increase mortality among those with a diagnosis of PCa remains unclear.ObjectiveTo determine long-term outcomes of clinically localized PCa arising in individuals taking 5-ARIs compared with nonusers.Design, setting, and participantsThis population-based cohort study was conducted between January 2003 and October 2017. Eligible participants were men aged 65 years or older in Ontario, Canada, who developed clinically localized PCa with complete pathological abstraction from the Ontario Health Administrative Databases. Data analysis occurred from November 2017 to November 2022.Exposure5-ARIs before PCa diagnosis.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcomes were overall mortality and PCa-specific mortality. Cause-specific hazard models with inverse probability treatment weights (IPTW) were used to examine associations of 5-ARI use with mortality outcomes. Sensitivity analyses based on prediagnostic 5-ARI use, Gleason score, comorbidity, 5-ARI indication, prostate-specific antigen modeling, and statin use were also performed.ResultsThe cohort included 19 938 patients with PCa. Of these, 2112 (10.6%; median [IQR] age, 74 [70-79] years) were 5-ARI users and 17 826 (89.4%; median [IQR] age, 71 [68-76] years) were nonusers. During a median (IQR) follow-up of 8.96 (6.28-12.17) years, 6053 (30.4%) died, including 1047 (5.3%) from PCa. 5-ARI use appeared to be associated with increased overall and PCa specific mortality in crude analyses; however, after IPTW, 5-ARI use was not associated with overall mortality (hazard ratio, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.90-1.07; P = .77) or PCa-specific mortality (hazard ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.83-1.25; P = .84).Conclusions and relevanceIn this population-based cohort study of 5-ARI use prior to PCa diagnosis including long-term follow-up and clinicopathologic details, prediagnostic 5-ARI use was not associated with PCa-specific or all-cause mortality. This study offers reassuring safety data for patients using 5-ARIs before PCa diagnosis for both BPH and chemopreventive reasons.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess the outcomes of pre-biopsy magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pathways, as a tool in biopsy-naïve men with suspicion of prostate cancer, in routine clinical practice. Secondary outcomes included a comparison of transrectal MRI-directed biopsy (TR-MRDB) and transperineal (TP)-MRDB in men with suspicious MRI.Patients and methodsWe retrospectively assessed a two-centre cohort of consecutive biopsy-naïve men with suspicion of prostate cancer who underwent a Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADS v2) compliant pre-biopsy MRI in a single, high-volume centre between 2015 and 2019 (Centre 1). Men with suspicious MRI scans underwent TR-MRDB in Centre 1 and TP-MRDB with additional random biopsies (RB) in Centre 2. The MRI and histopathology were assessed in the same institution (Centre 1). Outcomes included: (i) overall detection rates of Grade Group (GG) 1, GG ≥2, and GG ≥3 cancer in men with suspicious MRI; (ii) Biopsy-avoidance due to non-suspicious MRI; and (iii) Cancer detection rates and biopsy-related complications between TR- and TP-MRDB. To reduce confounding bias for MRDB comparisons, inverse probability weighting (IPW) was performed for age, digital rectal examination, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume, PSA density, and PI-RADS category.ResultsOf the 2597 men included, the overall GG 1, GG ≥2, and GG ≥3 prevalence was 8% (210/2597), 27% (697/2597), and 15% (396/2597), respectively. Biopsy was avoided in 57% (1488/2597) of men. After IPW, the GG 1, GG ≥2 and GG ≥3 detection rates after TR- and TP-MRDB were comparable at 24%, 57%, and 32%; and 18%, 64%, and 38%, respectively; with mean differences of -5.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] -13% to 1.4%), 6.1% (95% CI -2.1% to 14%), and 5.7% (95% CI -1.7% to 13%). Complications were similar in TR-MRDB (0.50%) and TP-MRDB with RB (0.62%; mean difference 0.11%, 95% CI -0.87% to 1.1%).ConclusionThis high-volume, two-centre study shows pre-biopsy MRI as a decision tool is implementable in daily clinical practice. Compared to recent trials, a substantially higher biopsy avoidance rate was achieved without compromising GG ≥2/GG ≥3 detection and coinciding with lower over detection rates of GG 1 cancer. Prostate cancer detection and complication rates were comparable for TR- and TP-MRDB.
