NCT06482645

Brief Summary

The goal of this multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the efficacy of different prostate biopsy schemes, including perilesional biopsy (PB) and combination of systematic biopsy and targeted biopsy (TB+SB). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does PB promote the accurate diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer? What's the value of PB in improving the safety of prostate biopsy? Researchers will compare the cancer detection rates of PB and TB+SB to explore the efficacy of different prostate biopsy schemes. Participants will: Receive TB+PB or TB+SB.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection rate for TB+PB and TB+SB

    csPCa was defined as PCa with a grade group \> 2 or GS ≥ 7. The reference standard was the pathological result.

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • The PCa detection rate

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

  • The high-grade PCa detection rate

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

  • The clinically insignificant PCa (ciPCa) detection rate

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

  • The Gleason score (GS) of the biopsy sample

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

Other Outcomes (2)

  • The self-reported quality of life after the prostate biopsy

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

  • The Gleason score (GS) of radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

Study Arms (2)

TB+PB group

EXPERIMENTAL

For each predefined MRI suspicious lesion, TB cores were obtained within each predefined MRI suspicious lesion (region of interest, ROI), followed by ring-distributed PB cores within a 10-15 mm radius around the ROI. The location of these cores depended on the shape and location of the suspicious lesion.

Procedure: TB+PB

TB+SB group

EXPERIMENTAL

For patients in the TB+SB group, TB cores were obtained from the lesion, followed by 12-core SB.

Procedure: TB+SB

Interventions

TB+PBPROCEDURE

The biopsy procedure was conducted by highly skilled and experienced urologists who specializes in performing prostate biopsies. Prophylactic antibiotics were routinely used both before and one day prior to scheduled surgery. For each predefined MRI suspicious lesion, TB cores were obtained within each predefined MRI suspicious lesion (region of interest, ROI), followed by ring-distributed PB cores within a 10-15 mm radius around the ROI. The location of these cores depended on the shape and location of the suspicious lesion.

  • Patients with single suspicious lesion, complete MRI data, qualified image quality control, suspicious lesions, and Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2.1 (PI-RADS V2.1) of \> 3.
  • Patients were in accordance with the indication of prostate biopsy, including patients with suspicious prostate nodes found by digital rectal examination (DRE), the suspicious lesions found by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) or MRI, total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) \>10ng/mL, tPSA 4-10ng/mL with free-to-total PSA ratio (f/tPSA) \<0.16 or PSA density (PSAD) \>0.15.
  • The prostate biopsy pathological results were complete. The time interval between prostate biopsy and prostate MRI examination should not exceed one month.
  • Patients with complete clinical information.

You may not qualify if:

  • The MRI data was unqualified or incomplete.
  • Patients had received radiotherapy, chemotherapy, androgen deprivation therapy, or surgery treatment before prostate MRI examination or prostate biopsy.
  • Patients with previous biopsy.
  • Patients with PI-RADS V2.1 of \< 4.
  • Patients were not in accordance with the indication of prostate biopsy.
  • The patient could not cooperate to complete the prostate biopsy.
  • The patients or their family members refused to participate in this study.
  • Patients with incomplete clinical information.
