SUO 2017: Utilization of MRI and Genomic Markers in Surveillance and Treatment Selection Among Patients Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer
Methods: The records of men diagnosed with NCCN very low to intermediate risk PCa from a single center between January 2013 and September 2016 with Oncotype Dx were reviewed. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess participation in an AS protocol or primary intervention protocol.
Results: A total of 389 men were identified. Patients who selected an AS protocol (235, 60%) or primary intervention (154, 40%) were followed for median of 19 (IQR: 11−31) months. Median age at diagnosis was 64 years (IQR: 59−69). In addition to standard trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy, 217 (56%) men received MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy. On multivariable logistic regression, a higher genomic prostate score (favorable pathology) correlated with increased participation in an AS protocol (HR 1.05, p= 0.002); while an increased number of lesions found on mp−MRI (OR: 0.57, p = 0.012), and higher PSA level at presentation (OR: 0.82, p = 0.001), correlated with less participation in an AS protocol.
Conclusion: In this single center study, both Oncotype Dx score and mp−MRI lesions correlated with the shared decision to participate in an AS protocol.
