Purpose
To determine the characteristics of missed prostate cancer (PCa) lesions on 3T multiparametric-MRI (mpMRI) based on PI-RADSv2 with whole-mount histopathology (WMHP) correlation.
Materials and methods
This IRB-approved, HIPAA-compliant study, included 614 consecutive men with 3T mpMRI prior to prostatectomy at a single tertiary center between 12/2009 and 4/2017. Clinical, mpMRI, and pathologic features were obtained. PI-RADSv2-based MRI detected lesions were matched with previously finalized WMHP by a genitourinary (GU) radiologist and a GU pathologist. Patients with no mpMRI detected PCa lesion, but with at least one lesion ≥ 1 cm on WMHP, were reviewed retrospectively and assigned a PI-RADSv2 score. Tumor characteristics were compared between missed and detected lesions.
Result
The final cohort included 518 patients with 1085 WMHP lesions. 51.9% (563/1085) of lesions were missed on 3T mpMRI. 71.4% (402/563), 21.7% (122/563), 4.4% (25/563), and 2.5% (14/563) of the missed lesions were Gleason scores (GS) 3 + 3, 3 + 4, 4 + 3, and 8 − 10, respectively. Missed PCa lesions had significantly lower proportion of GS ≥ 7 (p < 0.001) and smaller size for overall (p < 0.001) and index subcohorts (p < 0.001), as compared to detected lesions. 34.5% (194) of overall and 71.2% (79) index missed lesions were larger than 1 cm. In 13.7% (71/518) of patients without MR detected PCa, 149 lesions were detected on WMHP, with 70 (47%) lesions ≥ 1 cm. In retrospective review of these lesions, 42.9% (30), 18.6% (13), 21.5% (15), 10% (7), and 7% (5) were PI-RADSv2 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
Conclusion
3T mpMRI has an excellent per patients diagnostic performance for PCa and majority of missed lesions are clinically nonsignificant.
