Some factors that could cause a discrepancy in results between these two procedures were also evaluated. Among the 318 cases reviewed, 191 cases were selected for inclusion in this comparative Study, We divided the patients into two groups using the Gleason score: an intermediate/high-grade group (≥7) and a low-grade group (〈6). Exploratory analyses were conducted for comparisons between groups. We also performed comparisons between TRUSBX and RP for tumor laterality. TRUSBX overestimated 6% and underestimated 24% cases in comparison with RP for Gleason score, and overestimated 2.6% and underestimated 46% cases compared with RP for tumor laterality. Biopsy specimens were slightly smaller in TRUSBX cases with underestimated tumor laterality (P〈 0.05), and no relationship between the biopsy specimen size and underestimated Gleason score in TRUSBX was found. Prostatic volume showed no statistical correlation with the likelihood of under or overestimation (P 〉 0.05). Thus, our study showed that TRUSBX has a high likelihood of underestimating both the Gleason score and tumor laterality in prostate cancer (PCa). The size of the fragment appears to be an important factor influencing the likelihood of laterality underestimation and Gleason score overestimation via TRUSBX. Due to the high likelihood of underestimation of the Gleason score and tumor laterality by 12-core prostate biopsy, we conclude that this type of biopsy should not be used alone to guide therapy in Pca.展开更多

文摘目的旨在评估动态对比增强磁共振成像(dynamic contrast-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging,DCE-MRI)结合扩散加权成像(diffusion weighted imaging,DWI)在预测前列腺癌(prostate cancer,PCa)Ki-67表达和Gleason评分中的诊断效能。材料与方法回顾性分析了2019年1月至2023年10月自贡市第四人民医院收治的66例PCa患者的临床及影像资料。结合T2WI、DWI序列和由DWI自动计算出的表观扩散系数(apparent diffusion coeffieient,ADC),在DCE-MRI图像上手动勾画肿瘤感兴趣区(region of interest,ROI),计算ROI药代动力学参数,包括容积转运常数(volume transfer contrast,K^(trans))、速率常数(rate contrast,K_(ep))、血管外细胞外容积分数(extravascular extracellular volume fraction,Ve),并测量ADC值。根据靶向穿刺病理诊断Gleason评分和Ki-67表达水平,分为Ki-67高表达组(Ki-67>10%)和低表达组(Ki-67≤10%),Gleason评分低级别(GG 1~2)和高级别(GG 3~5)组。组间差异比较使用两独立样本t检验或非参数检验,采用Spearman相关分析评价DCE-MRI参数和ADC值与Ki-67、Gleason评分的相关性,并建立logistic回归模型,通过受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)曲线评估诊断效能。结果ADC值与Ki-67表达、Gleason评分均呈负相关(P<0.001),K^(trans)、K_(ep)、Ve与Ki-67表达均呈正相关(P<0.001),K^(trans)、K_(ep)与Gleason评分均呈正相关(P<0.001)。Ki-67高、低表达组K^(trans)、K_(ep)、Ve、ADC值比较差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.01),Gleason评分高、低级别组K^(trans)、K_(ep)、ADC值比较差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.01);Ki-67表达的ROC曲线分析显示,联合模型K^(trans)+K_(ep)+Ve+ADC诊断效能最好,曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)为0.940;Gleason评分分级的ROC曲线分析显示,联合模型K^(trans)+K_(ep)+ADC诊断效能最好,AUC为0.861。结论DCE-MRI的药代动力学参数和ADC值相结合,在预测PCa的Ki-67表达和Gleason评分中显示出高诊断效能。联合使用DCE-MRI定量参数与ADC值可提高PCa病理分级和生物侵袭性的预测准确性。
文摘背景与目的:前列腺癌穿刺标本的Gleason评分是术前进行预后判断及制定治疗方案的重要参考之一,其准确性直接影响对预后的评价及具体治疗措施的选择。本研究主要探讨前列腺癌穿刺标本与根治标本Gleason评分的差异,分析影响穿刺标本Gleason评分准确性的可能因素。方法:收集穿刺活检证实为前列腺癌并接受根治术的前列腺癌患者126例,采用新Gleason分级评分标准对穿刺和根治标本进行重新评分,并采用Kappa一致性检验及配对卡方检验,对两者的Gleason评分进行比较,对可能影响两者符合率的因素进行二分类Logistic回归分析。结果:126例患者中穿刺标本的Gleason评分与根治标本71例(56.3%)一致,17例(13.5%)偏高,38例(30.2%)偏低,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。将两者评分划分为不同的预后组,差异仍具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。偏差与年龄、术前前列腺特异抗原(prostate specific antigen,PSA)水平、前列腺体积、临床分期及每针最大癌累及无显著相关性(P>0.05),而与穿刺阳性针数百分比显著相关(OR=2.482,P<0.05)。结论:穿刺标本与根治标本的Gleason评分一致性一般,多数情况穿刺标本评分偏低,少数评分偏高;穿刺的阳性针数百分比是影响评分准确性的可能因素。
