Prediagnostic Risk Assessment with Prostate MRI and MRI-Targeted Biopsy
Bjurlin, Marc A; Taneja, Samir S
Prostate MRI is commonly used in the detection of prostate cancer to reduce the detection of clinically insignificant disease; maximize the detection of clinically significant cancer; and better assess disease size, grade, and location. The clinical utility of MRI seems to apply to men with no prior biopsy, who have had a previous negative biopsy, and men who are candidate for active surveillance. In conjunction with traditional clinical parameters and secondary biomarkers, MRI may allow more accurate risk stratification and assessment of need for prostate biopsy.

Reduced Field-of-View Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Prostate at 3 Tesla: Comparison With Standard Echo-Planar Imaging Technique for Image Quality and Tumor Assessment
Tamada, Tsutomu; Ream, Justin M; Doshi, Ankur M; Taneja, Samir S; Rosenkrantz, Andrew B
OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to compare image quality and tumor assessment at prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging (rFOV-DWI) and standard DWI (st-DWI). METHODS:A total of 49 patients undergoing prostate MRI and MRI/ultrasound fusion-targeted biopsy were included. Examinations included st-DWI (field of view [FOV], 200 × 200 mm) and rFOV-DWI (FOV, 140 × 64 mm) using a 2-dimensional (2D) spatially-selective radiofrequency pulse and parallel transmission. Two readers performed qualitative assessments; a third reader performed quantitative evaluation. RESULTS:Overall image quality, anatomic distortion, visualization of capsule, and visualization of peripheral/transition zone edge were better for rFOV-DWI for reader 1 (P ≤ 0.002), although not for reader 2 (P ≥ 0.567). For both readers, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for tumor with a Gleason Score (GS) of 3 + 4 or higher were not different (P ≥ 0.289). Lesion clarity was higher for st-DWI for reader 2 (P = 0.008), although similar for reader 1 (P = 0.409). Diagnostic confidence was not different for either reader (P ≥ 0.052). Tumor-to-benign apparent diffusion coefficient ratio was not different (P = 0.675). CONCLUSIONS:Potentially improved image quality of rFOV-DWI did not yield improved tumor assessment. Continued optimization is warranted.

HistoScanningTM to Detect and Characterize Prostate Cancer-a Review of Existing Literature
Wysock, James S; Xu, Alex; Orczyk, Clement; Taneja, Samir S
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The widely acknowledged limitations of the standard prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostic paradigm have provided an impetus to explore novel imaging modalities to diagnose, localize, and risk stratify PCa. As the body of literature focused on HistoScanning(HS) grows, there is need for a comprehensive review of the clinical efficacy of this technology. RECENT FINDINGS: Eighteen original, English language articles were found to adequately study the use of HistoScanning for prostate cancer diagnosis in the clinical setting. The articles were found by conducting a bibliographic search of PubMed in April 2017 in addition to utilizing references. The studies are divided into four groups based on study design. Study methods and quantitative data are summarized for each of the relevant articles. The results are synthesized to evaluate the utility of HistoScanning for the purpose of diagnosing PCa. Despite the promise of early pilot studies, there is a lack of consistent results across a number of further investigations of HistoScanning. This becomes increasingly evident as study size increases. As various other modern diagnostic modalities continue to develop, the future of HistoScanning, both alone and in conjunction with these technologies, remains unclear.

A multicentre randomised controlled trial assessing whether MRI-targeted biopsy is non-inferior to standard transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer in men without prior biopsy: a study protocol
Kasivisvanathan, Veeru; Jichi, Fatima; Klotz, Laurence; Villers, Arnauld; Taneja, Samir S; Punwani, Shonit; Freeman, Alex; Emberton, Mark; Moore, Caroline M
INTRODUCTION: The classical pathway for the diagnosis of prostate cancer is transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) biopsy of the prostate initiated on the basis of a raised prostate-specific antigen (PSA). An alternative pathway is to perform multi-parametricMRI (MPMRI) to localise cancer and to use this information to influence the decision for, and conduct of, a subsequent biopsy, known as an MPMRI-targeted biopsy. An MPMRI pathway has been shown to detect a similar or greater amount of clinically significant cancer as TRUS biopsy but has several advantages, including the potential to biopsy fewer men with fewer cores. METHODS: This is a pragmatic, international, multicentre, parallel group randomised study in which men are allocated in a 1:1 ratio to an MPMRI or TRUS biopsy pathway. This study will assess whether an MPMRI-targeted biopsy approach is non-inferior to a standard TRUS biopsy approach in the diagnosis of clinically significant cancer.Men in the MRI arm will undergo targeted biopsy of suspicious areas only and no biopsy will be carried out if the MRI is non-suspicious. Men in the TRUS biopsy will undergo a standard 10-12-core TRUS biopsy. The main inclusion criteria are a serum PSA =20 ng/mL, a digital rectal examination finding of T2 or less and no prior prostate biopsy.The primary outcome is the proportion of men with clinically significant cancer detected. A sample size of at least 470 patients is required. Key secondary outcomes include the proportion of clinically insignificant cancer detected. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval was obtained from the National Research Ethics Committee East Midlands, Leicester (15/EM/0188). Results of this study will be disseminated through national and international papers. The participants and relevant patient support groups will be informed about the results of the study. REGISTRATION DETAILS: NCT02380027; Pre-results.

AUA Standard Operating Procedure for MRI of the Prostate
Fulgham, Pat F; Rukstalis, Daniel B; Turkbey, Ismail Baris; Rubenstein, Jonathan N; Taneja, Samir; Carroll, Peter R; Pinto, Peter A; Bjurlin, Marc A; Eggener, Scott
PURPOSE: The purpose of this review is to summarize the available data about the clinical and economic effectiveness of MRI in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer and to provide practical recommendations for the use of MRI in the screening, diagnosis, staging and surveillance of prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A panel of clinicians with expertise in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer evaluated the current published data regarding the use and effectiveness of MRI in the management of prostate cancer. For those clinical scenarios where adequate studies are available for analysis, recommendations are made on the basis of data; where such studies are not available; recommendations are made on the basis of expert consensus. RESULTS: At this time the data support the use of MRI for patients with a previous negative biopsy and ongoing concerns about increased risk of prostate cancer. The data regarding the utility of MRI for initial biopsy suggest a possible role for MRI in an initial biopsy in some circumstances. There is currently insufficient evidence to recommend MRI for screening, staging or surveillance of prostate cancer. CONCLUSION: MRI offers superior anatomic detail, the ability to evaluate cellular density based on water diffusion and blood flow based on contrast enhancement. MRI-targeted biopsy may increase the diagnosis of clinical significant cancers by identifying specific lesions not visible on conventional ultrasound. MRI adds cost to the management of prostate cancer. The clinical indications for the use of MRI in the management of prostate cancer are rapidly evolving.
