PURPOSE: This study evaluates the diagnostic value of the ESUR scoring system (PI-RADS) regarding prostate cancer detection using MR-guided in-bore biopsies (IB-GB) as the reference standard.
METHODS: 566 lesions in 235 consecutive patients (65.7±7.9 years, PSA 9.9±8.5ng/ml) with a multiparametric (mp)-MRI (T2WI, DWI, DCE) of the prostate at 3T were scored using the PI-RADS scoring system. PI-RADS single (PSsingle), summed (PSsum), and overall (PSoverall) scores were determined. All lesions were histologically verified by IB-GB.
RESULTS: Lesions with a PSsum below 9 contained no prostate cancer (PCa) with Gleason score (GS)≥4+3=7. A PSsum of 13-15 (PSoverall V) resulted in 87.8% (n=108) in PCa and in 42.3% (n=52) in GS≥4+3=7. Transition zone (TZ) lesions with a PSsum of 13-15 (PSoverall V) resulted in 76.3% (n=36) in PCa and in 26.3% (n=10) in GS≥4+3=7, whereas for peripheral zone (PZ) lesions cancer detection rate at this score was 92.9% (n=79) and 49.4% (n=42) for GS≥4+3=7. Using a threshold of PSsum≥10, sensitivity was 86.0%, and negative predictive value (NPV) was 86.2%. For higher grade PCa sensitivity was 98.6%, and NPV was 99.5%.
CONCLUSION: A PSsum below 9 excluded a higher grade PCa, whereas lesions with a PSsum ≥13 (PSoverall V) represented in 88% PCa, and in 42% higher grade PCa. The PSsum or PSoverall demonstrated a better diagnostic value for PZ lesions with higher detection rates for higher grade PCa compared to TZ lesions.
