Abstract
PURPOSE:: Given the limitations of prostate specific antigen and standard biopsies in detecting prostate cancer (CaP), we evaluate the Cancer Detection Rate (CDR) and external validity of Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Transrectal Ultrasound (MR/TRUS) fusion-guided prostate biopsy system being utilized at NIH. MATERIALS AND METHODS:: Phase-III Trial of MR/TRUS fusion-guided prostate biopsy system with participants enrolled between 2012 and 2013. 153 men consented to the study who underwent a 3T multi-parametric MRI with an endorectal coil for a clinical suspicion for CaP and had lesions classified into low or moderate/high risk for CaP. MR/TRUS fusion-guided biopsies and standard 12-core prostate biopsies were performed, and 105 men were eligible for analysis. RESULTS:: The mean age and PSA were 65.8 years and 9.5ng/mL respectively. The overall CDR was 62.9 % (66/105). The CDR in those with moderate/high risk on MP-MRI was 72.3% (47/65) versus 47.5% (19/40) in those classified as low risk for CaP (p
