PI-RADS® Category as a Predictor of Progression to Unfavorable Risk Prostate Cancer in Men on Active Surveillance.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We identified baseline imaging and clinical characteristics of patients that may improve risk stratification among patients being evaluated for active surveillance.

Materials and methods

From July 2007 to January 2020 patients referred to our institution for prostate cancer were evaluated and those who remained on active surveillance were identified. Men underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging upon entry into our active surveillance protocol during which baseline demographic and imaging data were documented. Patients were then followed and outcomes, specifically progression to Gleason Grade Group (GG)3 or greater disease, were recorded.

Results

Of the men placed on active surveillance 344 had at least 1 PI-RADS score documented. For those with an
