1 Prostate Focal Therapy: What s on the Horizon? Thomas J Polascik, MD FACS

2 Current State of Prostate Focal Therapy Patient Selection Focal Ablation Technology and Technique Follow-up/ Surveillance after Focal Therapy Long Term Outcomes

3 Patient Selection: Evolution in Consensus De la Rosette 2010 (48) Ahmed 2012 (49) Donaldson 2015 (50) Tay 2016 (51) Goal Eradication of all cancer Eradication of all cancer Eradication of clinically significant cancer Cancer Determination mpmri Can be recommended at state of art centers Disease Factors Eradication of clinically significant cancer Overall TMB TMB and mpmri TMB or systematic + mpmri mpmri + systematic biopsy Biopsy of suspicious lesion Biopsy of nonsuspicious area Recommended No clear recommendation Recommended as far as possible - To be studied Recommended Recommended, MRI-TRUS Fusion Biopsy - TMB Recommended Recommended, at least 12 core TRUS biopsy Risk Group Low to moderate risk - Intermediate Intermediate Maximum grade Maximum size Residual Disease Permissible Patient Factors Age/ Life Expectancy Sexual Function T2a clinically or T2b radiologically - No agreement Up to 1.5 ml or 3 ml if not crossing midline; up to 20% of prostate volume or 25% if crossing midline None None 3+3 up to core length 5mm 3+3 up to core length 1mm At least 10 year life expectancy Effect unknown, counselling recommended NA Not a primary determinant; best suited to life expectancy >10 years and not <5 years According to major guidelines. No upper or lower limit whereby focal is contraindicated NA NA Important, but not the only indication for choosing focal therapy

4 Patient Selection: today s pitfalls 12 Core Biopsy Selecting unilateral disease for hemi-ablation: 88.4% sensitivity, 34% specificity TTMB mpmri + Fusion Bx Higher detection rate Invasive Needs OR Complications Reader dependent Fusion biopsy has many moving parts High NPV but consensus still points towards need for systematic biopsy

5 mpmri Reader-dependent Lesion identification Excluding extra-capsular extension Fusion Biopsy Dependent on quality of fusion Tay KJ, Gupta RT, Brown AF, Silverman RK, Polascik TJ.

8 Newer Imaging Modalities PSMA-linked small molecules for imaging Evolution of radiolabels: 68 G vs 18 F (lower positron emission energy leading to greater contrast/ resolution) Multiparametric Ultrasound Development of advanced elastography techniques

9 PSMA-PET-MRI Fusion 68 Ga-PSMA PET MRI of a 50-year-old patient who had a rising serum PSA value (16 ng/ml at imaging) and two tumour-negative previous biopsy samples Maurer, T. et al. (2016) Current use of PSMA PET in prostate cancer management Nat. Rev. Urol. doi: /nrurol

10 PSMA-PET-MRI Fusion 68 G-PSMA-PET-MRI with Fusion Biopsy 16 cases, 6 histologically confirmed PCa of 7 suspicious cases Storz et al 18 F-DCFBC CT-PET with MRI Fusion 13 cases, PET was less sensitive than MR (0.17 vs 0.39) but more specific (0.96 vs 0.89) Rowe et al

11 Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) Imaging Matched B-mode, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) and histologic prostate images of patient A. The first row shows an axial view (regular imaging plane) of the prostate; the second and third rows are two parallel coronal views. The axial imaging... Liang Zhai, Thomas J.

22 Neutraceuticals: Vit D as a cryosensitizer 22

23 Follow-up/ Surveillance Unaddressed issues Have we attained sufficient quality in imaging to omit systematic biopsies at follow-up? What is the necessary frequency/ follow-up schedule for mpmri/ fusion biopsy or systematic biopsy? What is the role of PSA at follow-up?

24 SIU-ICUD Consensus Statement 2015 Definitions of Failure: Treated zone: small volume PGG1 or very small volume PGG2 (<0.2ml) acceptable Untreated zone: any foci of clinically significant cancer PSA Insufficient long term data To be collected for research purposes 24

25 SIU-ICUD Consensus Statement 2015 mpmri 3T or 1.5T w/ ERC At least once 6-12 months after treatment Periodically thereafter Biopsy MRI/ Fusion Biopsy Systematic Biopsy Treated Area Untreated area Mandatory biopsy at 3-6 months - MRI at months and again at 5 years months and again at 5 years months and again at 5 years 25

26 SIU-ICUD Consensus Statement 2015 Retreatment Cause of cancer persistence or recurrence in the treated zone is multifactorial. Patients should not be precluded from any of the standard prostate cancer treatment options, including additional focal therapy if clinically appropriate. Focal therapy can be performed in the salvage setting when the reasons for initial failure can be clearly identified and corrected. 26

27 Long Term Outcomes Loading

28 Moving Forward Evaluation of long term oncological outcomes Recurrence on mandatory biopsy Mortality Failure/ need for salvage treatment Randomized Trials or development of a Multicenter Focal Therapy Registry to capture outcomes in a standardized manner? 28
