Prostate volume does not provide additional predictive value to prostate health index for prostate cancer or clinically significant prostate cancer: results from a multicenter study in China.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate whether prostate volume (PV) would provide additional predictive utility to the prostate health index (phi) for predicting prostate cancer (PCa) or clinically significant prostate cancer, we designed a prospective, observational multicenter study in two prostate biopsy cohorts. Cohort 1 included 595 patients from three medical centers from 2012 to 2013, and Cohort 2 included 1025 patients from four medical centers from 2013 to 2014. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) and logistic regression models were used to evaluate the predictive performance of PV-based derivatives and models. Linear regression analysis showed that both total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) and free PSA (fPSA) were significantly correlated with PV (all P < 0.05). [-2]proPSA (p2PSA) was significantly correlated with PV in Cohort 2 (P< 0.001) but not in Cohort 1 (P= 0.309), while no significant association was observed between phi and PV. When combining phi with PV, phi density (PHID) and another phi derivative (PHIV, calculated as phi/PV0.5) did not outperform phi for predicting PCa or clinically significant PCa in either Cohort 1 or Cohort 2. Logistic regression analysis also showed that phi and PV were independent predictors for both PCa and clinically significant PCa (all P < 0.05); however, PV did not provide additional predictive value to phi when combining these derivatives in a regression model (all models vs phi were not statistically significant, all P > 0.05). In conclusion, PV-based derivatives (both PHIV and PHID) and models incorporating PV did not improve the predictive abilities of phi for either PCa or clinically significant PCa.

Project description:BackgroundThe introduction of multiparameter MRI and novel biomarkers has greatly improved the prediction of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). However, decision-making regarding prostate biopsy and prebiopsy examinations is still difficult. We aimed to establish a quick and economic tool to improve the detection of csPCa based on routinely performed clinical examinations through an automated machine learning platform (AutoML).MethodsThis study included a multicenter retrospective cohort and two prospective cohorts with 4747 cases from 9 hospitals across China. The multimodal data, including demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and ultrasound reports, of consecutive participants were retrieved using extract-transform-load tools. AutoML was applied to explore potential data processing patterns and the most suitable algorithm to build the Prostate Cancer Artificial Intelligence Diagnostic System (PCAIDS). The diagnostic performance was determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) for discriminating csPCa from insignificant prostate cancer (PCa) and benign disease. The clinical utility was evaluated by decision curve analysis (DCA) and waterfall plots.ResultsThe random forest algorithm was applied in the feature selection, and the AutoML algorithm was applied for model establishment. The area under the curve (AUC) value in identifying csPCa was 0.853 in the training cohort, 0.820 in the validation cohort, 0.807 in the Changhai prospective cohort, and 0.850 in the Zhongda prospective cohort. DCA showed that the PCAIDS was superior to PSA or fPSA/tPSA for diagnosing csPCa with a higher net benefit for all threshold probabilities in all cohorts. Setting a fixed sensitivity of 95%, a total of 32.2%, 17.6%, and 26.3% of unnecessary biopsies could be avoided with less than 5% of csPCa missed in the validation cohort, Changhai and Zhongda prospective cohorts, respectively.ConclusionsThe PCAIDS was an effective tool to inform decision-making regarding the need for prostate biopsy and prebiopsy examinations such as mpMRI. Further prospective and international studies are warranted to validate the findings of this study.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR2100048428. Registered on 06 July 2021.

Project description:ObjectivesTo create a radiomics approach based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) features extracted from an auto-fixed volume of interest (VOI) that quantifies the phenotype of clinically significant (CS) peripheral zone (PZ) prostate cancer (PCa).MethodsThis study included 206 patients with 262 prospectively called mpMRI prostate imaging reporting and data system 3-5 PZ lesions. Gleason scores > 6 were defined as CS PCa. Features were extracted with an auto-fixed 12-mm spherical VOI placed around a pin point in each lesion. The value of dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging(DCE), multivariate feature selection and extreme gradient boosting (XGB) vs. univariate feature selection and random forest (RF), expert-based feature pre-selection, and the addition of image filters was investigated using the training (171 lesions) and test (91 lesions) datasets.ResultsThe best model with features from T2-weighted (T2-w) + diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) + DCE had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.870 (95% CI 0.980-0.754). Removal of DCE features decreased AUC to 0.816 (95% CI 0.920-0.710), although not significantly (p = 0.119). Multivariate and XGB outperformed univariate and RF (p = 0.028). Expert-based feature pre-selection and image filters had no significant contribution.ConclusionsThe phenotype of CS PZ PCa lesions can be quantified using a radiomics approach based on features extracted from T2-w + DWI using an auto-fixed VOI. Although DCE features improve diagnostic performance, this is not statistically significant. Multivariate feature selection and XGB should be preferred over univariate feature selection and RF. The developed model may be a valuable addition to traditional visual assessment in diagnosing CS PZ PCa.Key points• T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging features are essential components of a radiomics model for clinically significant prostate cancer; addition of dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging does not significantly improve diagnostic performance. • Multivariate feature selection and extreme gradient outperform univariate feature selection and random forest. • The developed radiomics model that extracts multiparametric MRI features with an auto-fixed volume of interest may be a valuable addition to visual assessment in diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer.

Project description:PurposeTo develop and evaluate machine learning models based on MRI to predict clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) and International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade group as well as explore the potential value of radiomics models for improving the performance of radiologists for Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) assessment.Material and methodsA total of 1616 patients from 4 tertiary care medical centers were retrospectively enrolled. PI-RADS assessments were performed by junior, senior, and expert-level radiologists. The radiomics models for predicting csPCa were built using 4 machine-learning algorithms. The PI-RADS were adjusted by the radiomics model. The relationship between the Rad-score and ISUP was evaluated by Spearman analysis.ResultsThe radiomics models made using the random forest algorithm yielded areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of 0.874, 0.876, and 0.893 in an internal testing cohort and external testing cohorts, respectively. The AUC of the adjusted_PI-RADS was improved, and the specificity was improved at a slight sacrifice of sensitivity. The participant-level correlation showed that the Rad-score was positively correlated with ISUP in all testing cohorts (r > 0.600 and p < 0.0001).ConclusionsThis radiomics model resulted as a powerful, non-invasive auxiliary tool for accurately predicting prostate cancer aggressiveness. The radiomics model could reduce unnecessary biopsies and help improve the diagnostic performance of radiologists' PI-RADS. Yet, prospective studies are still needed to validate the radiomics models further.Critical relevance statementThe radiomics model with MRI may help to accurately screen out clinically significant prostate cancer, thereby assisting physicians in making individualized treatment plans.Key points• The diagnostic performance of the radiomics model using the Random Forest algorithm is comparable to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) obtained by radiologists. • The performance of the adjusted Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) was improved, which implied that the radiomics model could be a potential radiological assessment tool. • The radiomics model lowered the percentage of equivocal cases. Moreover, the Rad-scores can be used to characterize prostate cancer aggressiveness.
