Pathological features of prostate cancer detected on initial and repeat prostate biopsy: Results of the prospective European prostate cancer detection study

Abstract: At least 10% of patients with negative prostatic biopsy results will be diagnosed with CaP on repeat biopsy. Despite differences in location and multifocality, pathological and biochemical features of cancers detected on initial and repeat biopsy are similar, suggesting similar biological behavior and thus advocating for a repeat prostate biopsy in case of a negative finding on initial biopsy. Cancers missed on initial biopsy and subsequently detected on repeat biopsy are located in a more apico-dorsal locatio… Show more

“…Eskew's [9] ''5-region'' biopsy technique, which focuses on the far lateral and midregions of the gland, in addition to the standard sextant technique, is reported to have an impressive diagnostic yield. Cancers missed on initial biopsy and subsequently detected on repeat biopsy are often located in a more apicodorsal location, so repeat biopsies could be preferentially directed to include this spared area [10]. Alternatively, emerging evidence claims that the use of transurethral resection of the prostate combined with a set of needle biopsies of the lateral portion of the gland has a high diagnostic yield after repeated negative biopsies in those with increasing PSA levels [11].…”

“…The second round of biopsies in this large study detected an additional 10% of cancers. The chance of finding PCa after the second biopsy decreases dramatically [3]. There is evidence that saturation biopsies are helpful to detect PCa in patients where multiple sets of biopsies have failed.…”

“…Most patients with a negative first biopsy undergo at least one rebiopsy. After two sets of ten or more negative core biopsies it seems that the risk of missing/overlooking cancer in patients with stable PSA levels [3] is acceptably low. Particularly in those patients with rising PSA levels, multiple biopsies are often performed without prostate cancer (PCa) being detected.…”

“…De kans op een fout-negatieve uitslag bij een eerste biopt is vrij hoog, namelijk 20-25 %. Bij een tweede biopt ligt dit percentage rond de 10-15 [5][6][7]. Het is dan ook wenselijk om een nieuwe diagnostische test te ontwikkelen, die beter kan discrimineren tussen het gezonde individu en de patiënt met prostaatkanker.…”
