Description
Hubert Krzepkowski and six colleagues test how well MRI suspicion scores predict truly serious prostate cancer and biopsy undergrading. They reviewed 564 men who had MRI-guided fusion biopsy and then surgery to remove the prostate. The final lab results after surgery served as the truth. Serious cancer meant grade group two or higher.
Serious cancer was found in 68.3 percent of patients. The PI-RADS imaging score was linked on its own to serious cancer. It was also linked to upgrading, which happened in 29.1 percent of cases when final results beat the biopsy grade. But its power to tell cases apart was modest. The authors say PI-RADS should be read with other clinical and lab factors, not alone, when advising surgical patients.
