RESUMO
PURPOSE: To validate the Barcelona-magnetic resonance imaging predictive model (BCN-MRI PM) for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in Catalonia, a Spanish region with 7.9 million inhabitants. Additionally, the BCN-MRI PM is validated in men receiving 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A population of 2,212 men with prostate-specific antigen serum level > 3.0 ng/ml and/or a suspicious digital rectal examination who underwent multiparametric MRI and targeted and/or systematic biopsies in the year 2022, at ten participant centers of the Catalonian csPCa early detection program, were selected. 120 individuals (5.7%) were identified as receiving 5-ARI treatment for longer than a year. The risk of csPCa was retrospectively assessed with the Barcelona-risk calculator 2 (BCN-RC 2). Men undergoing 5-ARI treatment for less than a year were excluded. CsPCa was defined when the grade group was ≥ 2. RESULTS: The area under the curve of the BCN-MRI PM in 5-ARI naïve men was 0.824 (95% CI 0.783-0.842) and 0.849 (0.806-0.916) in those receiving 5-ARI treatment, p 0.475. Specificities at 100, 97.5, and 95% sensitivity thresholds were to 2.7, 29.3, and 39% in 5-ARI naïve men, while 43.5, 46.4, and 47.8%, respectively in 5-ARI users. The application of BCN-MRI PM would result in a reduction of 23.8% of prostate biopsies missing 5% of csPCa in 5-ARI naïve men, while reducing 25% of prostate biopsies without missing csPCa in 5-ARI users. CONCLUSIONS: The BCN-MRI PM has achieved successful validation in Catalonia and, notably, for the first time, in men undergoing 5-ARI treatment.

Concerns exist regarding the effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) on multipa-rametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection. Our objective is to analyze the effect of 5-ARI on the prostate imaging-reporting and data system (PI-RADS) distribution and csPCa and insignificant PCa (iPCa) detection. Among 2212 men with serum prostate-specific antigen levels of >3.0 ng/mL and/or suspicious digital rectal examinations who underwent mpMRI and targeted and/or systematic biopsies, 120 individuals exposed to 5-ARI treatment for over a year were identified. CsPCa was defined when the grade group (GG) was >2. The overall csPCa and iPCa detection rates were 44.6% and 18.8%, respectively. Since logistic regression revealed independent predictors of PCa, a randomized matched group of 236 individuals was selected for analysis. The PI-RADS distribution was comparable with 5-ARI exposure (p 0.685). The CsPCa detection rates in 5-ARI-naïve men and 5-ARI-exposed men were 52.6% and 47.4%, respectively (p 0.596). IPCa was detected in 37.6 and 62.5%, respectively (p 0.089). The tumor GG distribution based on 5-ARI exposure was similar (p 0.149) to the rates of csPCa and iPCa across the PI-RADS categories. We conclude that exposure to 5-ARI in suspected PCa men did not change the PI-RADS distribution and the csPCa and iPCa detection rates.

The primary objective of this study was to analyse the current accuracy of targeted and systematic prostate biopsies in detecting csPCa. A secondary objective was to determine whether there are factors predicting the finding of csPCa in targeted biopsies and, if so, to explore the utility of a predictive model for csPCa detection only in targeted biopsies. We analysed 2122 men with suspected PCa, serum PSA > 3 ng/mL, and/or a suspicious digital rectal examination (DRE), who underwent targeted and systematic biopsies between 2021 and 2022. CsPCa (grade group 2 or higher) was detected in 1026 men (48.4%). Discrepancies in csPCa detection in targeted and systematic biopsies were observed in 49.6%, with 13.9% of csPCa cases being detected only in systematic biopsies and 35.7% only in targeted biopsies. A predictive model for csPCa detection only in targeted biopsies was developed from the independent predictors age (years), prostate volume (mL), PI-RADS score (3 to 5), mpMRI Tesla (1.5 vs. 3.0), TRUS-MRI fusion image technique (cognitive vs. software), and prostate biopsy route (transrectal vs. transperineal). The csPCa discrimination ability of targeted biopsies showed an AUC of 0.741 (95% CI 0.721-0.762). The avoidance rate of systematic prostate biopsies went from 0.5% without missing csPCa to 18.3% missing 4.6% of csPCa cases. We conclude that the csPCa diagnostic accuracy of targeted biopsies is higher than that of systematic biopsies. However, a significant rate of csPCa remains detected only in systematic biopsies. A predictive model for the partial omission of systematic biopsies was developed.
