Infection rate and complications after 621 transperineal MRI-TRUS fusion biopsies in local anesthesia without standard antibiotic prophylaxis.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the post biopsy infection rate, feasibility and prostate cancer (PCa) detection rate (CDR) by performing transperineal MRI-TRUS fusion biopsy of the prostate (TPBx) under local anesthesia (LA) without antibiotic prophylaxis (AP). METHODS: We prospectively screened 766 men with suspicious lesions on mpMRI, an elevated PSA level or a suspect digital examination undergoing MRI-TRUS-TPBx in LA, from May 2019 to July 2020. Patients with the need for antibiotic prophylaxis or without a PI-RADS target lesion were excluded from final analyses. We reported CDR, perioperative pain (0-10) and postoperative complications. PCa with an ISUP grade ≥ 2 was classified as clinically significant PCa (csPCa). RESULTS: We included 621 patients with a median age of 68 years (IQR 62-74), a PSA of 6.43 ng/mL (IQR 4.72-9.91) and a prostate volume of 45 cc (IQR 32-64). In median, 4 targeted (TB) (IQR 3-4) and 6 (IQR 5-7) systematic biopsies (SB) detected in combination overall 416 (67%) PCa and 324 (52%) csPCa. Overall CDR of TB for PI-RADS 3, 4 and 5 was 26%, 65% and 84%, respectively. Patients reported a median perioperative pain level of 2 (IQR 1-3). Four patients (0.6%) developed a post biopsy infection, one experienced urosepsis. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that transperineal MRI-TRUS fusion-guided prostate biopsy under LA without AP is feasible, safe and well tolerated.

Evaluación de la biopsia de fusión elástica vs. biopsia sistemática para la detección del cáncer de próstata: resultados de un estudio multicéntrico en 1.119 pacientes / Elastic fusion biopsy versus systematic biopsy for prostate cancer detection: Results of a multicentric study on 1.119 patients

Objetivos: Evaluar la precisión de las biopsias guiada y sistemática para la detección del cáncer de próstata (CP) y CP clínicamente significativo (CPCS) en la práctica diaria, analizando el requerimiento de biopsias sistemáticas adicionales en el momento de la biopsia guiada. Pacientes y métodos: De nuestra base de datos multicéntrica que incluye 2.115 pacientes sometidos a biopsia de fusión con el sistema Koelis(TM) entre 2010 y 2017, seleccionamos 1.119 pacientes que recibieron biopsias guiadas (una mediana de 3 por cada lesión), con posterior muestreo sistemático (12 a 14 núcleos). Se evaluó la tasa de detección de cáncer (TDC) global y clínicamente significativa de las biopsias de fusión de Koelis(TM), comparando la biopsia guiada con la sistemática. Como objetivo secundario, está la identificación de los predictores de detección de CP. Resultados: La TDC de la biopsia guiada fue del 48% para todos los tipos de cáncer y del 33% para el CPCS. El muestreo de próstata sistemático adicional mejoró la TDC global en un 15% y en un 12% para CPCS. Se detectó CP en el 35, 69 y 92% de los pacientes con lesiones calificadas como PI-RADS 3, 4 y 5, respectivamente. Una puntuación elevada de PI-RADS y un examen rectal digital positivo fueron factores predictores de CP, y la condición «biopsia naïve» se asoció con CPCS. Conclusión: En la práctica diaria, la biopsia guiada con Koelis(TM) logra una buena TDC para todos los CP y CPCS, y mejora significativamente con el muestreo sistemático posterior de la próstata. Los excelentes resultados de la biopsia por fusión se confirman también en pacientes naïve. La puntuación PI-RADS elevada y el examen rectal digital positivo están altamente asociados con la presencia de CP

Objectives: To assess the accuracy of targeted and systematic biopsies for the detection of prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant PCa (csPCa) in the everyday practice, evaluating the need for additional systematic biopsies at the time of targeted biopsy. Patients and methods: From our multicentric database gathering data on 2,115 patients who underwent fusion biopsy with Koelis(TM) system between 2010 and 2017, we selected 1,119 patients who received targeted biopsies (a median of 3 for each target), followed by systematic sampling of the prostate (12 to 14 cores). Overall and clinically significant cancer detection rate (CDR) of Koelis(TM) fusion biopsies were assessed, comparing target and systematic biopsies. Secondary endpoint was the identification of predictors of PCa detection. Results: The CDR of targeted biopsies only was 48% for all cancers and 33% for csPCa. The performance of additional, systematic prostate sampling improved the CDR of 15% for all cancers and of 12% for csPCa. PCa was detected in 35%, 69%, and 92% of patients with lesions scored as PI-RADS 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Elevated PI-RADS score and positive digital rectal examination were predictors of PCa, whereas biopsy-naïve status was associated with csPCa. Conclusion: In the everyday practice target biopsy with Koelis(TM) achieves a good CDR for all PCa and csPCa, which is significantly improved by subsequent systematic sampling of the prostate. The outstanding outcomes of fusion biopsy are confirmed also in biopsy-naïve patients. Elevated PI-RADS score and positive digital rectal examination are strongly associated with presence of PCa

[Cystosarcoma phylloides in adolescent women]. / Cystosarcoma phylloides u adolescentných zien.

The authors describe four cases of juvenile fibroadenoma (benign form of cystosarcoma phyllodes) in pubertal girls aged 11-15 years. They reflect on the variable behaviour of this rare tumour and differentiate the relations between fibroadenoma, virginal hypertrophy of the breast, juvenile fibroadenoma, giant fibroadenoma and cystosarcoma phyllodes. A dominant position is held by surgical treatment which is strictly individualized. The authors recommend, similarly as many other authors, an extensive excision of the tumour with a safety margin and in case of repeated relapses or the very rare malignant form which frequently behaves as a benign tumour. The operation is made in the submammary groove or on the lateral margin of the breast which ensures an excellent cosmetic effect. The authors do not consider excision of superfluous skin or reconstruction of the breast necessary with regard to the elastic properties of the skin and the capacity of the mammary gland to develop.
