Detection of clinically significant prostate cancer by micro-ultrasound-informed systematic biopsy during MRI/micro-ultrasound fusion biopsy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

High-resolution micro-ultrasound (microUS) is a novel imaging technique that may visualize clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), including those missed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ), in real time during prostate biopsy.

Methods

From September 2021 to January 2022, 75 consecutive biopsy-naive men were entered into an observational cohort. All men underwent an MRI /microUS fusion prostate biopsy, completed by a single surgeon using the ExactVU device. At time of biopsy, each biopsy core was given a Prostate Risk Identification using MicroUS (PRI-MUS) score. Anonymized data were entered into a RED Cap database. Cancer detection stratified by Prostate Imaging-Reporting & Data System (PI-RADS ) and PRI-MUS score, and imaging modality was captured. Ou
