Objective: Establish the prostate cancer (PCa) detection rate and the premalignant lesion incidence, as well as their importance in cancer detection at the first rebiopsy.

Materials And Methods: In the period 2006-2008, at the CCUS Urology Clinic, there were 585 prostate biopsies performed in 515 patients. 12% of the patients underwent the first biopsy due to premalignant lesion findings. The main characteristics of the patients--age, prostate specific antigen (PSAt)-total and PSA ratio (PSAr), the number of needle biopsies, Gleason score and the role of premalignant lesions in diagnosis of PCa at the first rebiopsy were processed retrospectively.

Results: Primarily detected PCa amounted to 32.4% (167/515), while the rebiopsy showed the detection rate of 35.7% (25/70). No statistically significant age or PSAt and PSAr difference was observed, while there was, however, a difference in the number of biopsy samples, 11 (6-18) vs. 12 (8-20) and in the Gleason score (6.5 vs. 5.9) among the observed groups (p < 0.05). Atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP) and high grade intra epithelial neoplasia (HGPIN), were found in 4.95% and 7.2% of the cases, while the ASAP + HGPIN combination was found in 1.5% of the cases. The PCa detection rate at the first rebiopsy in patients with ASAP, HGPIN and ASAP + HGPIN lesions was 50%, 23.6% and 50%, respectively. The ANOVA test showed a statistically significant shorter time period for rebiopsy in ASAP+HGPIN patients than that of patients with ASAP and HGPIN lesions.

Conclusion: A repeated positive biopsy establishes PCa in patients with lower PSAt values and the Gleason score, which is followed by an increased number of biopsy samples. ASAP and ASAP + HGPIN lesions carry a higher specificity of75% and 91%, respectively, while the PPV in prostate cancer detection for HGPIN is low (24%).

Purpose: Considering the inadequacy of PSA measurement in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, it is aimed to establish a potential liquid biopsy diagnostic panel.

Materials And Methods: 39 patients who underwent TRUS-biopsy and 15 healthy volunteers were included. Approximately 15 ml of venous blood samples taken from healthy volunteers and patients before biopsy were separated as plasma.

Purpose: We investigated the association of MRI findings in men with a previous diagnosis of atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP) or multifocal high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) with pathologic findings on repeat biopsy.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with ASAP/multifocal HGPIN undergoing a repeat biopsy in the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative registry. We included men with and without an MRI after the index biopsy demonstrating ASAP/multifocal HGPIN but before the repeat biopsy.

Purpose: To test any-cause discontinuation and ISUP GG upgrading rates during Active Surveillance (AS) in patients that underwent previous negative biopsies (PNBs) before prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis vs. biopsy naive patients.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 961 AS patients (2008-2020).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the prevalence of atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP) and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) in prostate biopsies in China, and the subsequent risk of prostate cancer (PCa) in follow-up biopsies.
  • Among 2,456 patients, initial biopsies showed a considerable rate of PCa (30%), with lower rates for ASAP (8.8%) and HGPIN (4%). Patients with ASAP were more likely to be diagnosed with PCa in subsequent biopsies as compared to those with HGPIN.
  • The results suggest that ASAP is a strong indicator for the need for
