Effect of preoperative PI-RADS assessment on pathological outcomes in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the effect of preoperative MRI with standardized Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) assessment on pathological outcomes in prostate cancer (PCa) patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP).

Patients and methods

This retrospective cohort study included patients who had undergone prostate MRI and subsequent RP for PCa between January 2017 and December 2022. The patients were divided into the PI-RADS group and the non-PI-RADS group according to evaluation scheme of presurgery MRI. The preoperative characteristics and postoperative outcomes were retrieved and analyzed. The pathological outcomes included pathological T stage (pT2 vs. pT3-4) and positive surgical margins (PSMs). Patients were further stratified according to statistically
