A PI-RADS-Based New Nomogram for Predicting Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: PurposeTo develop and validate a PI-RADS-based nomogram for predicting the probability of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) at initial prostate biopsy.Patients and MethodsFrom February 2015 to October 2018, 573 consecutive patients made up the development cohort (DC), and another 253 patients were included as an independent validation cohort (VC). Univariate and multivariate analysis were used for determining the dependent clinical risk factors for csPCa. Prediction model1 was constructed by integrating independent clinical risk factors. T?hen added the PI-RADS score to model1 to develop the prediction model2 and present it in the form of a nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was assessed by receiver operating characteristic curve, net reclassification improvement analysis, calibration curve, and decision curve.ResultsAll clinical candidate factors were significantly different between csPCa and non-csPCa in both the DC and VC. Age, PSA density (PSAD), and free-to-total PSA ratio (f/t) were ultimately determined as dependent clinical risk factors for csPCa and integrated into prediction model1. Then, prediction model2 was developed and presented in a nomogram. In the DC, the nomogram (AUC=0.894) was superior to model1, PI-RADS score, or other clinical factors alone in detecting csPCa. Similar result (AUC=0.891) was obtained in the VC. NRI analysis showed that the nomogram improved the classification of patients significantly compared with model1. Furthermore, the nomogram showed favorable calibration and great clinical usefulness.ConclusionThis study developed and validated a nomogram that integrates PI-RADS score with other independent clinical risk factors to facilitate prebiopsy individualized prediction in high-risk patients with csPCa.

Project description:Objectives: To develop and validate a predictive model for discriminating clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) from clinically insignificant prostate cancer (ciPCa). Methods: This retrospective study was performed with 159 consecutively enrolled pathologically confirmed PCa patients from two medical centers. The dataset was allocated to a training group (n = 54) and an internal validation group (n = 22) from one center along with an external independent validation group (n = 83) from another center. A total of 1,188 radiomic features were extracted from T2WI, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images derived from DWI for each patient. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to develop the model, incorporating the radiomic signature, ADC value, and independent clinical risk factors. This was presented using a radiomic nomogram. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to assess the predictive efficacy of the radiomic nomogram in both the training and validation groups. The decision curve analysis was used to evaluate which model achieved the most net benefit. Results: The radiomic signature, which was made up of 10 selected features, was significantly associated with csPCa (P < 0.001 for both training and internal validation groups). The area under the curve (AUC) values of discriminating csPCa for the radiomics signature were 0.95 (training group), 0.86 (internal validation group), and 0.81 (external validation group). Multivariate logistic analysis identified the radiomic signature and ADC value as independent parameters of predicting csPCa. Then, the combination nomogram incorporating the radiomic signature and ADC value demonstrated a favorable classification capability with the AUC of 0.95 (training group), 0.93 (internal validation group), and 0.84 (external validation group). Appreciable clinical utility of this model was illustrated using the decision curve analysis for the nomogram. Conclusions: The nomogram, incorporating radiomic signature and ADC value, provided an individualized, potential approach for discriminating csPCa from ciPCa.

Project description:Rationale and objectiveThe Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADSv2) published a set of minimum technical standards (MTS) to improve image quality and reduce variability in multiparametric prostate MRI. The effect of PIRADSv2 MTS on image quality has not been validated. We aimed to determine whether adherence to PI-RADSv2 MTS improves study adequacy and perceived quality.Materials and methodsSixty-two prostate MRI examinations including T2 weighted (T2W) and diffusion weighted image (DWI) consecutively referred to our center from 62 different institutions within a 12-month period (September 2017 to September 2018) were included. Six readers assessed images as adequate or inadequate for use in PCa detection and a numerical image quality ranking was given using a 1-5 scale. The PI-RADSv2 MTS were synthesized into sets of seven and 10 rules for T2W and DWI, respectively. Image adherence was assessed using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) metadata. Statistical analysis of survey results and image adherence was performed based on reader quality scoring (Kendall Rank tau-b) and reader adequate scoring (Wilcoxon test for association) for T2 and DWI quality assessment.ResultsOut of 62 images, 52 (83%) T2W and 38 (61%) DWIs were rated to be adequate by a majority of readers. Reader adequacy scores showed no significant association with adherence to PI-RADSv2. There was a weak (tau-b = 0.22) but significant (p value = 0.01) correlation between adherence to PIRADSv2 MTS and image quality for T2W. Studies following all PI-RADSv2 T2W rules achieved a higher median average quality score (3.58 for 7/7 vs. 3.0 for <7/7, p = 0.012). No statistical relationship with PI-RADSv2 MTS adherence and DWI quality was found.ConclusionAmong 62 sites performing prostate MRI, few were considered of high quality, but the majority were considered adequate. DWI showed considerably lower rates of adequate studies in the sample. Adherence to PI-RADSv2 MTS did not increase the likelihood of having a qualitatively adequate T2W or DWI.

Project description:BackgroundMultiparametric MRI (mp-MRI) combined with machine-aided approaches have shown high accuracy and sensitivity in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis. However, radiomics-based analysis has not been thoroughly compared with Prostate Imaging and Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADS v2) scores.PurposeTo develop and validate a radiomics-based model for differentiating PCa and assessing its aggressiveness compared with PI-RADS v2 scores.Study typeRetrospective.PopulationIn all, 182 patients with biopsy-proven PCa and 199 patients with a biopsy-proven absence of cancer were enrolled in our study.Field strength/sequenceConventional and diffusion-weighted MR images (b values = 0, 1000 sec/mm2 ) were acquired on a 3.0T MR scanner.AssessmentA total of 396 features and 385 features were extracted from apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images and T2 WI, respectively. A predictive model was constructed for differentiating PCa from non-PCa and high-grade from low-grade PCa. The diagnostic performance of each radiomics-based model was compared with that of the PI-RADS v2 scores.Statistical testsA radiomics-based predictive model was constructed by logistic regression analysis. 70% of the patients were assigned to the training group, and the remaining were assigned to the validation group. The diagnostic efficacy was analyzed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) in both the training and validation groups.ResultsFor PCa versus non-PCa, the validation model had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.985, 0.982, and 0.999 with T2 WI, ADC, and T2 WI&ADC features, respectively. For low-grade versus high-grade PCa, the validation model had an AUC of 0.865, 0.888, and 0.93 with T2 WI, ADC, and T2 WI&ADC features, respectively. PI-RADS v2 had an AUC of 0.867 in differentiating PCa from non-PCa and an AUC of 0.763 in differentiating high-grade from low-grade PCa.Data conclusionBoth the T2 WI- and ADC-based radiomics models showed high diagnostic efficacy and outperformed the PI-RADS v2 scores in distinguishing cancerous vs. noncancerous prostate tissue and high-grade vs. low-grade PCa.Level of evidence3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J.
