Summary: Introduction: This study was conducted to describe the repeat multiparametric MRI (mpMRI)
changes occurring in prostate cancer (PCa) patients during active surveillance (AS), and to study
possible associations between mpMRI-related parameters in predicting prostate biopsy (Bx)
Gleason score (GS) upgrading >3+3 (GU) and protocol-based treatment change (TC).
Materials and methods: The study cohort consisted of 76 AS patients with GS 3+3 PCa
and at least two consecutive mpMRIs of the prostate performed between 2006 and 2015. Patients
were followed according to the Prostate Cancer Research International Active Surveillance (PRIAS) protocol and additional mpMRIs. The primary end points were GS upgrading (GU) (>3+3) in protocol-based biopsies and protocol-based TC.
Results: 53/76 (69%) patients had progression (PIRADS upgrade, size increase or new
lesion[s]), 18/76 (24%) had radiologically stable disease, and 5/76 (7%) had regression
(PIRADS or size decrease, disappearance of lesion[s]) in repeat mpMRIs during AS. PIRADS
scores 4 to 5 in the initial mpMRI was associated with GU (p=0.008) and protocol-based TC
(p=0.009). Tumour progression on repeat mpMRIs was associated with TC (p=0.045) but not with
GU (p=1.00). PIRADS scores 4-5 predict GU (sensitivity 0.80 [95% confidence interval (CI);
0.51-0.95, specificity 0.62 [95% CI; 0.52-0.77]) with PPV and NPV values of 0.34 (95% CI;
0.21-0.55) and 0.93 (95% CI; 0.80-0.98), respectively.
Conclusion: mpMRI is a useful tool not only to select but also to monitor PCa
patients on AS.

Can't find your Protocol?
We recommend that you click next to the search bar to check some helpful tips on searches and refine your search firstly. If you want to find a specific protocol and you know the DOI of the protocol already, it's easier to enter a DOI to search. You can refine the search results using Facets on the left side of the search results page. If you are on the table view, you can also search in a specific column by clicking the column title and enter the keywords.
If you still could not find your protocol in the search results, please help us by adding it into the system — it's easy. Create and publish your protocols at Protocols.io.
