Increased Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System Scores in Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging May Predict More Extensive Disease in Radical Prostatectomy Specimens

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between index lesion prostate imaging-reporting and data system (PI-RADS) version-2 score and histopathological outcomes of prostatectomy specimens. Materials and Methods: A total of 78 male patients with prostate cancer (PCa) treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between August 2015 and June 2020 were included in this study. In this cohort, suspicious lesions on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) were scored according to PI-RADS version-2 criteria. MpMRI-targeted prostate biopsy was performed for all suspicious lesions with a PI-RADS score of ≥3 followed by systematic prostate biopsy. The relationship between index lesion PI-RADS score and histopathological outcomes of prostatectomy specimens were evaluated statistically. Results: The mean age of the patients was 65.0±7.0 years. The distribution of PI-RADS scores of 3, 4, and 5 of the index lesions were 6 (7.7%), 29 (37.2%), and 43 (55.1%), respectively. Lower tumor volume and tumor volume ratio were observed in patients with a PI-RADS score of 3 when they were compared with patients with PI-RADS scores of 4 and PI-RADS-5 (p
