Objective To investigate prostate volume index (PVI), defined as the ratio of volume of the transitional zone on that of the peripheral zone, as a factor stratifying prostate cancer (PCA) risk in patients elected to a first random biopsy set. Methods The study evaluated 596 patients who were elected to a first random biopsy set because of suspected PCA in a period between September 2010 and September 2015. Prostate volume index was dichotomized to PVI ≤1 vs PVI >1. The multivariate logistic regression model investigated clinical factors with dichotomized PVI associating with PCA. Results The detection rate of PCA was 49%. The dichotomized PVI >1 stratified PCA risk (odds ratio [OR] 0.455; p<0.0001) beyond age (OR 1.062; p<0.0001), PSA (OR 1.167; p<0.0001), PV (OR 0.957; p<0.0001), and abnormal digital rectal examination (OR 2.094; p<0.0001). The goodness of fit statistics assessed model efficacy. Conclusions A large cohort of patients elected to a first random biopsy set had PCA risk stratified by dichotomized PVI beyond other clinical independent factors. Confirmatory studies are required.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer (PCA) alter the normal growth patterns of zonal anatomy with changes of prostate volume (PV). Chronic inflammatory infiltrates (CII) type IV are the most common non-cancer diagnosis of the prostate after biopsy. Objective: To evaluate associations of both PV index (PVI), i.e. the ratio of transitional zone volume (TZV) to peripheral zone volume (PZV), and CII with PCA in patients undergoing biopsy. Subjects and Methods: Between January 2007 and December 2008, 268 consecutive patients who underwent prostate biopsy were retrospectively evaluated. PV and TZV were measured by transrectal ultrasound. PZV was computed by subtracting the PV from the TZV. CII were evaluated according to standard criteria. Significant associations of PVI and the presence of CII (CII+) with PCA risk were assessed by statistical methods. Results and Limitations: We evaluated 251 patients after excluding cases with painful rectal examinations, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >20 μg/ml and metastases. The PCA detection rate was 41.1%. PVI was a negative independent predictor of PCA. A PVI ≤1.0 was directly [odds ratio (OR) = 2.36] associated with PCA, which was detected more frequently in patients with a PVI ≤1.0 (29.1%) than in those with a PVI >1.0 (11.9%). CII+ was inversely (OR = 0.57) and independently associated with PCA, which was detected less frequently in cases with CII (9.9%) than in those without CII (21.1%). Potential study limitations might relate to the fact that PV was not measured by prostatectomy specimens and there was PSA confounding for CII and PCA. Conclusions: Low values of PVI are directly associated with risk of PCA, which was almost 2.5 times higher in patients with a PVI ≤1.0. The PVI might be an effective parameter for clustering patients at risk of PCA. CII+ was inversely associated with risk of PCA and decreased the probability of detecting PCA by 43%. The role of the PVI and CII in PCA carcinogenesis needs further research.

Objectives To investigate the associations of clinical factors and intraprostatic chronic inflammatory infiltrate (CII) with the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) in a large contemporary cohort of patients elected to a first random biopsy set. Materials and Methods The study evaluated 596 patients who were elected to a first random biopsy set because of suspected PCa in the period between September 2010 and September 2015. The multivariate logistic regression model investigated the possible associations of clinical factors and intraprostatic CII with PCa. Results Prostate cancer was detected in 292 of 596 patients (49%). Intraprostatic CII was detected in 26.3% of cases. Age (odds ratio, OR = 1.060; p<.0001), prostate-specific antigen (PSA; OR = 1.174; p<.0001), prostate volume (PV; OR = 0.951; p<.0001) and abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE; OR = 2.170; p = 0.001) were independent predictors of PCa risk; moreover, intraprostatic CII was an important independent factor lowering the risk of PCa (OR = 0.258; p<.0001) in the multivariate clinical model. Conclusions In a large contemporary cohort of patients elected to a first random biopsy set, the detection of intraprostatic CII was not negligible (26.3%) and associated with a reduced risk of PCa. In the prostate microenvironment, intraprostatic CII might lower the risk of PCa by activating the response of the immune system at the early stages of cancer induction and progression. Specific serum biomarkers and imaging modalities associated with intraprostatic CII are required. Advanced basic science research is warranted to investigate and develop the controversial topic of intraprostatic chronic inflammation in relation to PCa.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relevance of prostate gland volume, transitional zone volume, and transitional zone index for the detection of prostate cancer by the first sextant biopsy. Material and methods. A total of 121 men with high risk of prostate cancer were included in our study (prostate-specific antigen level higher than 4 ng/mL and/or pathological digital rectal examination). We consulted the patients in Outpatient Department of Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital during 2003–2006. Total prostate volume and transition zone volume were measured, and all patients underwent transrectal ultrasoundguided sextant biopsy of the prostate. According to histological results of prostate biopsy, patients were divided into two groups: benign group (benign prostate hyperplasia and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia) and prostate cancer group. Statistical analysis was made by SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 12.0.1 for Windows. Results. After histological examination, prostate cancer was detected in 20.7% of patients (n=25). Prostate cancer was found in 24.6% of patients with a total prostate volume of less than 60 cm3 and only in 8.2% of patients with a total prostate volume greater than 60 cm3 (P=0.026). Prostate cancer was found in 27.1% of patients with transition zone volume smaller than 30 cm3 and only in 7.5% of patients with transition zone volume greater than 30 cm3 (P=0.007). A statistically significant difference was found when patients were divided into the groups according to transition zone index: when transition zone index was lower than 0.45, prostate cancer was detected in 37.1% of patients, and when transition zone index was higher than 0.45, prostate cancer was observed in 9.1% of patients (P=0.001). The possibility to detect prostate cancer was 5.9 times higher in patients with transition zone index lower than 0.45. Conclusions. Prostate cancer detection rate by first sextant prostate biopsy in patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen level and/or pathological digital rectal examination was higher when total prostate volume was less than 60 cm3, transition zone was less than 30 cm3, and transition zone index was less than 0.45.

Objective: To compare the validated calculators of Indonesian Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator  (IPCRC) vs Korean Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator (KPCRC) vs Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial Risk Calculator (PCPT-RC) vs European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator (ERSPC-RC) in predicting prostate cancer in our patients at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. Material & methods: This study is a prospective study conducted from August 2014 – December 2015 at Urology Clinic at Hasan Sadikin Hospital that included all patients with BPH or suspected PCa who have been undergoing prostate biopsy. Variables such as age, PSA level, prostate volume (transabdominal or transrectal ultrasound) and digital rectal examination (DRE) finding were recorded. Risk calculation was generated using each risk calculator. Data were analyzed using Chi-square analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and finally receiver operating characterisitic (ROC) curve. All statistical analyses were performed with SPSS version 20.  Results: There were 89 BPH and 43 PCa patients between August 2014 – December 2015. The mean age, PSA and prostate volume are 65.78 ± 8.33 years; 121.16 ± 375.76ng/ml; 55.86 ± 31.9ml respectively. Abnormal DRE was found in 27 PCas and 4 BPHs. Receiver operator curve analysis of IPCRC showed AUC 0.861 vs KPCRC (AUC=0.779) vs ERSPC-RC (AUC=0.745) vs PCPT-RC (AUC=0.794) vs PSA (AUC 0.794), sensitivity 81.4% and specificity 71.9% with cut-off point 19.67 for the IPCRC in predicting the prostate cancer in our center. Conclusion: IPCRC is better than KPCRC, PCPT-RC and ERSPC-RC in predicting prostate cancer in our center.

Objectives: To investigate associations of the transitional zone volume (TZV) with intraprostatic chronic inflammatory infiltrate (CII) and prostate cancer (PCa) risk in patients undergoing a first random biopsy set. Materials and Methods: The study included a homogenous population of 596 patients. The volume of the prostate and TZV were separately measured. Independent associations were investigated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The median TZV was 18 ml, CII was detected in 157 cases (26.3%), and PCa was present in 292 patients (49%). TZV was the only independent clinical factor associated with CII risk (OR = 1.014). After correcting for CII (OR = 0.276; p < 0.0001), independent factors associated with PCa risk included age (OR = 1.066), prostate specific antigen (OR = 1.177), TZV (OR = 0.919), and an abnormal digital rectal exam (OR = 2.024). Conclusion: In a patient population undergoing a first random prostate biopsy set because of suspected cancer, independent associations were detected among TZV, CII, and PCa. The association between TZV and CII was direct, but the relation between TZV and PCa was inverse. The measurement of the volume of the transitional zone was a useful parameter for evaluating chronic intraprostatic inflammation and PCa risk.

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A prosztatarák diagnosztikájában az utóbbi években paradigmaváltás történt. Az MR-vizsgálat fejlődése lehetővé tette a prosztatatumor gyanús elváltozásainak célzott mintavételét. Az mpMR fúziós biopszia pontos és költséghatékony módszer. Célkitűzés: Célkitűzésünk az volt, hogy összegezzük az mpMR fúziós biopsziák terén szerzett tapasztalatainkat. Módszer: A Semmelweis Egyetem Urológiai Klinikáján 2017 és 2019 között 40, mpMR fúziós biopsziát végeztünk a BioJet-program segítségével, transperinealis behatolásból. Az MR-vizsgálatok kiértékelése a PI-RADS v2 ajánlása szerint történt. Megvizsgáltuk, hogy a laesiók PI-RADS-besorolása, elhelyezkedése, mérete, az extraprosztatikus terjedés jeleinek megléte, a páciensek PSA-, illetve PSAD-értékei, valamint a prosztata volumene befolyásolja-e a mintavételek kimenetelét. Eredmények: A célzott mintavételek során pácienseink 80%-ánál igazolódott malignitás. PI-RADS 5. és 4. besorolású laesiók esetén a detektációs ráta 91%, illetve 85%, míg PI-RADS 3. laesióknál 20% volt. A perifériás zóna elváltozásainál szignifikánsan magasabb volt a pozitív eredmény valószínűsége, mint a tranzicionális zóna laesióinál (khi2(1) = 6,555, p = 0,010, Fisher-féle egzakt p = 0,017, V = 0,355). Az extraprosztatikus terjedés jelei és a magasabb PSAD-értékek növelték a pozitív minták valószínűségét (khi2(1) = 7,704, p = 0,006, Fisher-féle egzakt p = 0,004, V = 0,355; illetve 0,47 ± 0,50 ng/ml2 vs. 0,18 ± 0,17 ng/ml2; Z = 3,447, p<0,001), míg az elváltozások mérete nem befolyásolta a kimenetelt. A prosztatavolumen szignifikánsan magasabb volt azoknál, akiknél nem igazolódott malignitás (50,9 ± 18,8 ml vs. 119,6 ± 91,6 ml; Z = –3,505, p<0,001). Következtetések: Az elvégzett fúziós biopsziák detektációs rátája magasabb volt az irodalmi átlagnál. Eredményeink alapján a mintavételek kimenetelét befolyásolhatja az elváltozások PI-RADS-besorolása, elhelyezkedése, az extraprosztatikus terjedés, a PSAD-értékek, valamint a prosztatatérfogat. A fenti szempontok figyelembevételével kiválaszthatók azok a páciensek, akik a legtöbbet profitálhatnak a beavatkozásból. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(52): 2188–2194. Summary. Introduction: The past decade has seen some major changes in the diagnostics of prostate cancer. Progress in MR imaging has allowed us to better visualise prostate cancer and thus perform targeted biopsies of tumour suspect lesions. mpMRI-ultrasound fusion-guided prostate biopsy is a precise and cost-effective method to diagnose prostate cancer. Objective: The purpose of this study was to summarise our results in mpMRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy between 2017 and 2019 and compare them with the findings in the current literature. Method: Between 2017 and 2019, fully 40, mpMRI-ultrasound fusion biopsies were performed transperineally using the BioJet fusion system at Semmelweis University Urology Clinic. The MRI evaluations were done in line with the PI-RADS v2 guidelines. It was analysed whether the PI-RADS score, the location of the tumour, lesion size, the signs of extraprostatic extension, PSA/PSAD density and prostate volume have an influence on the outcome of mpMRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy. Results: Prostate cancer was diagnosed in 80% of the cases during targeted biopsies. The detection rate was 91%, 85%, and 20% for PI-RADS 5, 4 and 3 lesions, respectively. The detection rate was significantly higher for lesions located at the peripheral zone compared to the ones in the transitional zone (khi2(1) = 6.555, p = 0.010, Fisher-exact p = 0.017, V = 0.355). Signs of extraprostatic extension and higher PSAD correlated with better detection rate (khi2(1) = 7.704, p = 0.006, Fisher-exact p = 0.004, V = 0.355; and 0.47 ± 0.50 ng/ml2 vs. 0.18 ± 0.17 ng/ml2; Z = 3.447, p<0.001, respectively). The size of the lesions did not influence the outcome. The analysis showed a significant correlation between large prostate volumes and negative biopsies (50.9 ± 18.8 ml vs. 119.6 ± 91.6 ml; Z= –3.505, p<0.001). Conclusions: The detection rate of prostate cancer with targeted biopsies was higher than the data found in the international literature. The PI-RADS score, the location of the tumour, MRI signs of extraprostatic extension, PSAD and prostate volume had an influence on the detection rate. Our findings may promote a better selection of the best candidates for targeted biopsies in the future. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(52): 2188–2194.

Abstract Background Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used in screening tests for prostate cancer. As the low specificity of PSA results in unnecessary and invasive prostate biopsies, we evaluated the clinical significance of various PSAs and PSA density (PSAD) related to peripheral zones in patients with gray zone PSA level (4–10 ng/mL). Methods A total of 1300 patients underwent transrectal ultrasonography-guided prostate biopsy from 2014 to 2019. Among them, 545 patients in the gray zone were divided into the prostate cancer diagnosis group and the non-prostate cancer diagnosis group, and PSA, relative extra transitional zone PSA (RETzPSA), estimated post holmium laser enucleation of the prostate PSA (EPHPSA), PSAD, peripheral zone PSA density (PZPSAD) and extra-transitional zone density (ETzD) were compared and analyzed using receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) analysis after 1:1 matching using propensity score. Results Area under the ROC curve values of PSA, EPHPSA, RETzPSA, PSA density, ETzD, and PZPSAD were 0.553 (95% CI: 0.495–0.610), 0.611 (95% CI: 0.554–0.666), 0.673 (95% CI: 0.617–0.725), 0.745 (95% CI: 0.693–0.793), 0.731 (95% CI: 0.677–0.780) and 0.677 (95% CI: 0.611–0.719), respectively. PSAD had 67.11% sensitivity, 71.71% specificity, and 70.34% positive predictive rate at 0.18 ng/mL/cc. ETzD had 69.08% sensitivity, 64.47% specificity, and 66.04% positive predictive rate at 0.04 ng/mL/cc. When the cut-off value of PSAD was increased to 0.18 ng/mL/cc, the best results were obtained with an odds ratio of 5.171 (95% CI: 3.171–8.432), followed by ETzD with 4.054 (95% CI: 2.513–6.540). Conclusions These results suggested that volume-adjusted parameters (ETzD and PSAD) might be more sensitive and accurate than various PSA in gray zone patients who required prostate biopsy to reduce unnecessary biopsy.
