Abstract

Pre-biopsy multiparametric MRI is now recommended by multiple guidelines, not only for men with persistent suspicion of prostate cancer after prior negative systematic biopsy, but also at initial screening before the first biopsy. The major benefit of pre-biopsy MRI in the diagnostic work-up is to promote individualized risk-adapted approaches for biopsy-decision management. Multiple MRI-directed diagnostic pathways can be conceived, with each approach having net-benefit trade-offs between benefits and harms, based on improved diagnostic yields of significant cancers and reduced biopsy testing and reduced detection of indolent prostate cancer. In this paper, we illustrate how clinical benefits can be maximized in men with MRI-negative and MRI-positive results, using the PI-RADS Multiparametric MRI and MRI-directed biopsy pathway. From a practice perspective, we emphasize five golden rules: (1) that multiparametric MRI approach including targeted biopsies be reserved for men likely to benefit from early detection and treatment of prostate cancer; (2) that there is a need to carefully assess risk of significant disease using PSA and clinical parameters before and after MRI; (3) do not offer immediate biopsy if the MRI is negative, unless other high-risk factors are present; (4) accept that not all significant cancers are found immediately and have robust ‘safety nets’ for men with negative MRI scans who avoid immediate biopsy and for positive MRI patients with negative or non-explanatory histology; and (5) use MRI-directed biopsy methods that minimize overdiagnosis and improve risk stratification.

Introduction

The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) MRI-directed biopsy pathway [1] enables the delivery of multiple diagnostic and clinical benefits to men suspected of having significant cancer according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), American Urological Association (AUA) and the European Association of Urology (EAU) [24]. Thereby, both biopsy-naive men and men at continued clinical suspicion after a negative systematic biopsy, with a higher than average risk of prostate cancer, may undergo MRI before prostate biopsy. We intent to clarify the earlier proposed MRI risk-adapted approach using PI-RADS assessment for the need for biopsy [1].

MRI-directed pathway

When prostate MRI is used to detect significant disease, several MRI-directed biopsy strategies can be adopted, each having different impacts on the number of needle cores used and on the detection rates of significant and insignificant prostate cancers [5]. MRI results can be used in two distinct ways. The first is the combined biopsy pathway, in which patients with negative MRI findings undergo systematic biopsy and those with positive MRI findings undergo both systematic and MRI-directed biopsy, thus maximizing the diagnostic yield of clinically significant cancers [1, 4, 5]. The second is the MRI pathway, which is distinct in that men with negative MRI findings do not undergo biopsy at all and men with positive findings undergo only MRI-directed biopsy (without systematic cores), thus minimizing the diagnosis of indolent disease. Several other MRI-directed biopsy combinations can also be envisioned each of which balances the detection of significant and insignificant prostate cancers [5].

Clinical benefits

When determining the clinical utility of prostate cancer diagnosis, it is important to identify only those men that are likely to benefit from timely diagnoses. Clinical benefit is therefore the detection and appropriate treatment of clinically significant prostate cancer. Clinical harms include redundant (unnecessary) testing and the likelihood of having complications of testing (such as rectal bleeding, urine retention, bacteremia and urosepsis). Remembering that many of the cancers detected may never become clinically evident; therefore, overdiagnoses and subsequent over-treatments can also contribute to harms.
In the prostate cancer diagnostic work-up of biopsy-naïve men, the main advantage of the MRI pathway is to reduce the number of men who need biopsies and to reduce the total number of biopsy cores in men with positive MRI findings, thus helping to limit overdiagnoses of clinically insignificant disease [68]. Furthermore, MRI-directed biopsies improve tumor grade classifications, tumor volume estimations and subsequently improve patient risk assessments [9], all of which are important for the accurate guidance of treatment decisions.

Patient selection for MRI

Patient selection criteria for MRI prior to biopsy are not clear because of limited inclusion criteria within clinical studies that often exclude men with low and very high risk of having clinically significant cancers. Few studies have evaluated MRI benefits by clinical inclusion criteria beyond looking at biopsy naïve versus prior negative biopsy cases. Even in these groups, there are inconsistencies between the NCCN, AUA and EAU guidelines regarding the use of MRI. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that MRI should be used whenever a prostate biopsy is indicated (Table 1).

Patient risk stratification is used in clinical practice to reduce unnecessary biopsies (and by extension the need for MR imaging) [4]. Clinical biopsy decisions are based on clinical factors such as serum PSA levels, rectal examination findings, prostate volume estimates, age and family history. Although the decision to biopsy is based on individual preferences, there is a need to balance harms (overdiagnosis, biopsy-related) and benefits (diagnosis and therapy of significant disease). As a general guideline, the EAU guideline advises that to avoid unnecessary biopsies, further risk assessments be undertaken of asymptomatic men with a normal digital rectal examination and a PSA level between 2 and 10 ng/mL prior to performing a prostate biopsy. These further risk assessments can include MRI (Fig. 1).
A major advantage of MRI is that it enables independent assessments of the likelihood of clinically significant disease based on image only observations. The likelihood of clinically significant cancer can be low (PI-RADS category 1 or 2), intermediate (PI-RADS category 3) or high (PI-RADS category 4 or 5) [10]. Men having an intermediate or high likelihood of having clinically significant cancer are regarded as having a ‘positive’ MRI, requiring prostate biopsies [1, 2, 4]. Men with negative MRI are stratified to a lower risk of having significant disease, a prostate biopsy can be considered depending on clinical risks, clinical priorities and patient preferences (Fig. 1) [1, 4].
However, MRI interpretations and the need for biopsy afterwards should also be in the context of patient care priorities, assessed by multidisciplinary teams. In general, in biopsy-naive men, there is an urgent need to minimize overdiagnosis, especially in lower-risk men. Of all biopsy-naïve men diagnosed with prostate cancer using the restricted selection criteria above, almost half are diagnosed with clinically insignificant prostate cancer [6] and opt for active surveillance. This proportion is too high and may be even higher in low-risk men undergoing MRI assessments. In other words, there continues to be overdiagnosis as we attempt to improve diagnosis of significant cancers. Therefore, MRI is a step-forward but is not a perfect test for detecting only significant cancers.

When MRI is negative

As already noted, PI-RADS scores provide independent risk assessments complimentary to clinical multivariate risk calculators [11]. Because of the high negative predictive value of PI-RADS–compliant MRI protocols [12, 13], a high proportion of men can avoid immediate biopsy after negative MRI findings without substantially affecting the detection rates of clinically significant cancers (Fig. 1).
The yields of ISUP grade 2 prostate cancers or higher (Gleason score ≥ 3 + 4) on systematic biopsy after negative MRI in biopsy-naïve men is about 8%; the majority are (microfocal) ISUP grade 2 cancers [6]. Microfocal ISUP grade 2 cancers are prognostically good [14, 15]. When treated, prognosis of these ISUP grade 2 cancers is similar to ISUP grade 1 prostate cancer, when cribriform growth is absent [16]. A negative prostate MRI misses few ISUP grade 3 cancers or higher (Gleason score ≥ 4 + 3) that are detected by immediate systematic biopsy (~ 3%) [6, 12].
A negative MRI strongly modulates likelihood of significant cancer and the need for biopsy, especially in men with large prostate gland volumes (Fig. 2). Furthermore, a negative MRI for prostate cancer can provide alternative explanations for raised PSA level, such as inflammation (Fig. 3). Yields of ISUP grade 1 prostate cancers (Gleason score = 3 + 3) on systematic biopsy after negative MRI in biopsy-naïve men (Fig. 4) is about 17%, which contributes significantly to overdiagnosis and overtreatment [6]. That is to say that for every man diagnosed with significant cancer by systematic biopsy after a negative MRI, there will be 2 men overdiagnosed with indolent disease [6]. To minimize overdiagnoses in MRI-negative men, biopsy rates should be minimized, reserving biopsies for men at higher clinical risk despite a negative MRI (Table 1).
The majority of emerging significant cancers in MRI-negative men appear within the first 2–3 years (Fig. 4) [17, 18]. Therefore, a monitoring safety net must be in place for patients who prefer deferring immediate biopsy after a negative MRI examination. The safety net should include periodic clinical examinations, laboratory assays and imaging, as per local clinical practices and be consistent with clinical goals for individual patients (Table 1) [1]. In such clinical circumstances, the clinical priorities, the roles and responsibilities of the participants, the underlying risks, and the circumstances that should trigger reinvestigations should all be clearly defined when counseling patients [4, 19].

When MRI is positive

Yields of ISUP grade 2 prostate cancers or higher (Gleason score ≥ 3 + 4) on targeted and systematic biopsy after a positive MRI in biopsy-naïve men is about 44%, showing the population enrichment with significant disease, and therefore the substantial value of MRI in patient risk assessments [6]. Using MRI as a roadmap to guide biopsy procedures also increases the detection of significant cancers. The cancer detection rate of significant disease is 1.12 (95% CI 1.01–1.23) times better for the MRI pathway than for the systematic biopsy alone, representing a significant 12% increase by the MRI pathway for patients in mixed urological settings. The maximum yield in MRI-positive men is obtained by combining both targeted and systemic biopsy procedures, which is currently recommended in prostate cancer guidelines [24, 19]. Utilizing the augmented MRI pathway (including systematic cores) increases significant cancer detection, but compromises on overdiagnoses, while the MRI pathway only (no systematic cores) minimizes the detection of insignificant cancers [5].
It may be possible to deploy only MRI-directed targeted biopsies for men with larger PI-RADS 5 lesions (Fig. 5), resulting in reductions of the number of biopsy cores per patient, reserving combined systematic and targeted biopsies for smaller PI-RADS 4 lesions (Fig. 6) or heterogenous PI-RADS 3 lesions, to improve tumor grade classification and tumor volume estimations [20]. MRI-guided focal saturation biopsy where cores are placed in the MRI depicted target and in sextants adjacent is a viable alternative to combined systematic and targeted biopsy [20, 21], although the exact number and placement of biopsy cores is not yet well documented. In addition, a diffuse abnormality does not require targeted biopsy, as systematic cores alone will usually be enough. Note also that for patients with clinically obvious disease (i.e., very high PSA levels and a suspicious rectal examination), a bi-parametric MRI for biopsy planning and pelvic staging purposes is often enough.
In men with positive MRI, the prevalence of significant cancers increases with increasing PI-RADS category scores. While PI-RADS score 5 has the highest likelihood of having clinically significant prostate cancer, not every PI-RADS 5 lesions will harbor clinically significant disease (Fig. 5). False positive results may be due to misinterpretations of nodules of stromal benign prostatic hyperplasia within the central gland, due to large ISUP = 1 cancers or due to inflammation [22, 23]. Non-cancer causes of positive MRI decrease with higher PI-RADS scores. However, it is unsafe to assume that all PI-RADS 5 lesions are significant cancers; biopsy is always needed for confirmation.

Golden rules for prostate MRI usage

The introduction of prostate MRI has substantially improved the accuracy of prostate cancer diagnosis, cancer grading and pre-treatment risk assessment. Following the current adoption of a pre-biopsy MRI in all men [24, 19], the radiological community has to deal with new challenges, such as improving quality of the entire diagnostic chain (Fig. 1) and increasing machine and manpower capacity. Implementation of this new diagnostic test in biopsy-naïve men needs the full attention of the radiological community. Within this emerging field, we need to commit to rules that guide physicians and patients to the optimal diagnostic work-up for identifying or excluding significant prostate cancer (Table 1).
The five golden rules of MRI for prostate cancer diagnosis (Fig. 7) are (1) reserve the comprehensive MRI approach including targeted biopsies for men likely to benefit from early detection and treatment of prostate cancer; (2) carefully assess risk of significant disease using PSA metrics and/or use risk calculators before and after MRI; (3) do not offer immediate biopsy if the MRI is negative, unless other high-risk factors are present; (4) accept that not all significant cancers are found immediately and have robust ‘safety nets’ for men with negative MRI scans who avoid immediate biopsy and for positive MRI patients with negative or non-explanatory histology; and (5) use MRI-directed biopsy methods that minimize overdiagnosis and improve risk stratification.
