Investigating Efficient Risk-Stratified Pathways for the Early Detection of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer

Risk-stratified pathways (RSPs) are recommended by the European Association of Uro-logy (EAU) to improve the early detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). RSPs can reduce magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demand, prostate biopsies, and the over-detection of insignificant PCa (iPC...

Sumario:Risk-stratified pathways (RSPs) are recommended by the European Association of Uro-logy (EAU) to improve the early detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). RSPs can reduce magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demand, prostate biopsies, and the over-detection of insignificant PCa (iPCa). Our goal is to analyze the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of several RSPs by using sequential stratifications from the serum prostate-specific antigen level and digital rectal examination, the Barcelona risk calculators (BCN-RCs), MRI, and Proclarix™. In a cohort of 567 men with a serum PSA level above 3.0 ng/mL who underwent multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and targeted and/or systematic biopsies, the risk of csPCa was retrospectively assessed using Proclarix™ and BCN-RCs 1 and 2. Six RSPs were compared with those recommended by the EAU that, stratifying men from MRI, avoided 16.7% of prostate biopsies with a prostate imaging-reporting and data system score of <3, with 2.6% of csPCa cases remaining undetected. The most effective RSP avoided mpMRI exams in men with a serum PSA level of.
