ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging improves the performance of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics through a better selection of patients. Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the detection rate (DR) of systematic and targeted cognitive biopsies in a cohort with the previous negative systematic biopsies. A secondary objective was to describe the value of prostate-specific antigen density (PSAd) in the detection of clinically significant PCa (CSPCa). Methods: We designed a prospective, single-center, and comparative study to determine the DR of systematic and targeted cognitive biopsies. The clinical and pathological characteristics of each patient were described. Results: A total of 111 patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System lesions > 3 were included in the study. PCa was detected in 41.4% (46 of 111 patients); 42 (91.3%) were detected by systematic biopsy and 30 (65.2%) by targeted biopsy. CSPCa was detected in 26 (23.4%), 23 (88.5%) by systematic biopsy, and 21 (76.9%) by targeted biopsy. PSAd > 0.15 was directly associated with CSPCa. Conclusion: The detection of PCa by systematic biopsy in this series was higher than 80%; hence, its routine use should not be replaced by targeted biopsy, since it continues to be the cornerstone of the diagnosis in patients with prior negative biopsies.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Clinoid segment aneurysms are cerebral vascular lesions recently described in the neurosurgical literature. They arise from the clinoid segment of the internal carotid artery, which is the segment limited rostrally by the dural carotid ring and caudally, by the carotid-oculomotor membrane. Even although clinoid segment aneurysms represent a common incidental finding in magnetic resonance studies, its prevalence has not been yet reported. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of incidental clinoid segment saccular aneurysms diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging as well as their anatomic architecture and their association with smoking, arterial hypertension, age, and sex of patients. METHODS: A total of 500 patients were prospectively studied with magnetic resonance imaging time-of-flight sequence and angioresonance with contrast material, to search for incidental saccular intracranial aneurysms. The site of primary interest was the clinoid segment, but the presence of aneurysms in any other location was determined for comparison. The relation among the presence of clinoid segment aneurysms, demographic factors, and secondary diagnosis of arterial hypertension, smoking, and other vascular/neoplastic cerebral lesions was analyzed. RESULTS: We found a global prevalence of incidental aneurysms of 7% (95% confidence interval, 5-9), with a prevalence of clinoid segment aneurysms of 3% (95% confidence interval, 2-4). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed a statistically significant relationship among incidental aneurysms, systemic arterial hypertension (P = 0.000), and smoking (P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: In the studied population, incidental clinoid segment aneurysms constitute the variety with highest prevalence.
