1. More is better!
2. Go Lateral!
De La Taille Study 303 men with different indications for biopsy 6 cores 22,7% + 6 lateral cores 28.3% + 6 TZ cores 30.7% + 3 mid-line cores 31.3% +12% De la Taille et al. Urology, 61: 1181-86, 2003
Jones Study Saturation Technique (24 cores) Does Not Improve Cancer Detection as an Initial Prostate Biopsy Strategy Men with PSA 2.5 to 9.9 ng/dl: cancer in 53 of 122 (43.4%) saturation biopsies and 26 of 58 (44.8%) 10-core biopsies Jones et al., J Urol,February 2006

WHERE DOES TRUS BIOPSY STAND IN 2017?
TRANSRECTAL 16 SECTOR BIOPSY
TEMPLATE TRANSPERINEAL BIOPSY Mabjeesh et al, BJU Int, 2012 Hu Y et al, BJU Int, 2012 1. Standard 12 cores 10mm RLE 2. Standard 12 cores 15mm RLE 3. 14 (12 PZ + 2TZ) cores 5mm RLE 4. 18 (12 PZ + 6 Ant) cores 10mmRLE 14
Accuracy of TRUS biopsy for PCa >/=0.5cc Lecornet et al. BAUS ONC 2010 Mabjeesh et al., BJU Int, 2012 16
bibliographic search using PubMed covering the period up to July 2012 yielded approximately 550 articles! - 10/12 core schemes better than traditional sextant - If cores > 12, then the increase in diagnostic yield is only marginal - Only limited evidence supports the use of more than 12 cores or saturation on initial Bx - Apical and laterally directed sampling increases cancer detection rate

How reliable are Standard TRUS prostate biopsies?
How reliable are prostate biopsies? Changes in prostate cancer grade on serial biopsy in men with Low Risk PCa Porten SP et al., J Clin Oncol 2011
How reliable are prostate biopsies? Changes in prostate cancer volume on serial biopsy in men undergoing active surveillance Volume increase in 25% Porten SP et al., J Urol 2011
Conventional TRUS Biopsy unable to predict unilateral disease! Tareen, et al, BJU Int, 2009
What is the Core Problem? n=3453 Bx The Operator was a significant multivariate Predictor of Biopsy outcome OR 0.67 to 0.89, p=0.003

Fusion biopsy MR-US fusion allows the information from MRI to be used to direct biopsy needles under TRUS guidance 2 Types: - Cognitive Fusion - Device Fusion Sonn GA, Margolis DJ, Marks LS.

Siddiqui et al. Eur Urol 2013 582 pts - With lesion MRI (3T ERC) (T2,DWI,DCE,MRSI) - SBx and FBx (Philips software with electromagnetic tracking) - Overall CDR similar for both, but fusion detected more clinically significant PCa using fewer cores. - Targeted biopsy detected 67% more Gleason 4+3 than SBx alone MRI/US Fusion preferentially detects higher grade PCa while missing lower grade tumors
BUT Does mp MRI solves the problem?
How Negative is a Negative mpmri? Retrospective study of 101 RPE spec. with mpmri 68% T1c, mpsa 7.5ng/mL 11% had pt3a & 6%pT3b 2% had pn1 13% had primary GG 4 50% had secondary GG 4 or 5 BUT with Expert Reading: No pt3, less primary GG 4 C: Negative mpmri does NOT exclude significant PCa Need quality assurance Branger, Eur Urol, 2016, A 501
How Negative is a Negative mpmri? Prostate Health Index (PHI) Repeat BX setting, N=168 If mp MRI neg: 47% had cancer and 34% were GS >7 At cut off >35, PHI predicted 86% of cancers if mpmri was negative Sens 86%, Spec 48% and NPV 80% For GS>7: Sens 100%, Spec 48%, NPV 100% Gnanapragasam, Eur Urol, 2016, A384
Where do we still need TRUS Bx? 41 men with unilateral positive biopsy Specimen and MRI blindly rereviewed and mapped for cancer location NPV for uninvolved lobe: TRUS 46.7% MRI 71.4% Both 100 %
Do we need additional SysPBx with Fusion PBx? CDR was 40% for Fus-PBX (75% GS >7) CDR 32% for Sys-PBX (69% GS>7) 15% of GS>7 detected by Sys PBx ALONE! In MVA, max PI-RADs is the strongest predictor of GS>7 in Com-PBx!! To detect High risk PCA, combine Fus-PBX with Sys- PBx Borkowetz et al., Eur Urol, 2016, A503
Do we need additional SysPBx with Fusion PBx? Both Techniques miss apical lesions MR-Bx most often missed cancers in the dorsolateral part (58%) TRUS-Bx missed cancer in the anterior part (79%) We still need both targeted and systemic TRUS Bx Schoutten et al., Eur Urol, 2016
AUA Consensus mp MRI and Biopsy 2017 use mp MRI in combination with sys TRUS biopsy Presentation Title 39
How to get the best out of TRUS biopsy? use 18 G needle with a minimum 17 mm core length improve grey scale TRUS capabilities adequate sampling (16 sector biopsy) correlate number of cores to volume target pararectal, anterior and apical zones separately
Why we still need TRUS Bx mp MRI will increase cancer detection of HG prostete cancer mpmri: Less Biopsies Overall mp MRI Bx Misses GS 6 Prostate cancer Need to combine TRUS + mpmri
Summary Our notion of low risk is going to change The pathway will become dominated by imaging Location and focality (cancer mapping) will become essential
