To predict prostate cancer by ultrasound radiomics in ultrasound fusion prostate targeted biopsy.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Researchers plan to develop a diagnostic and prognostic evaluation model for prostate cancer by analyzing abnormal echoes in prostate ultrasound images through radiomics. This model will be used to guide ultrasound radiomics-fusion prostate biopsy, and its accuracy will be compared with that of systematic biopsy.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

55 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients aged above 55 who had an indication for prostate biopsy will be screened for eligibility.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥55 years old.
  2. Patients had tPSA/fPSA within 1 month before biopsy.

  3. Patients had any of the following indications for prostate biopsy:

    • Suspicious prostate nodules were found by digital rectal examination
    • Suspicious lesions were detected by B-ultrasound or MRI
    • PSA>10ng/ml
    • PSA 4-10ng/ml, with abnormal f/tPSA and/or PSAD values

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. malignant tumors other than prostate adenocarcinoma indicated by pathology.
  2. Combined with other malignant tumors (such as rectal cancer, bladder cancer, testicular cancer, etc.) that may affect the imaging findings of transrectal ultrasound or mpMRI.
  3. Other conditions that would preclude needle biopsy: cachexia, decompensation of organ function, hemorrhagic diseases, local infection, etc

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy
Prostate ultrasound had abnormal echo and radiomics analysis showed high scores
Diagnostic test: Targeted biopsy
For the high-risk targets identified by the radiomics model, perform targeted biopsy under ultrasound fusion.
Systematic biopsy
Patients meeting the indications for prostate biopsy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Positive rate of ultrasound radiomics fusion targeted biopsy
Time Frame: Up to seventh day when the pathological results were obtained after the targeted biopsy
Positive rate of ultrasound radiomics fusion targeted biopsy
Up to seventh day when the pathological results were obtained after the targeted biopsy
Positive rate of mpMRI cognitive fusion targeted biopsy
Time Frame: Up to seventh day when the pathological results were obtained after the targeted biopsy
Positive rate of mpMRI cognitive fusion targeted biopsy
Up to seventh day when the pathological results were obtained after the targeted biopsy
Positive rate of systematic biopsy
Time Frame: Up to seventh day when the pathological results were obtained after the targeted biopsy
Positive rate of systematic biopsy
Up to seventh day when the pathological results were obtained after the targeted biopsy
Ultrasound radiomics parameters
Time Frame: The 30min following the transrectal ultrasonography
The ultrasound images are obtained by transrectal ultrasound while prostate biopsy. Then investigators use 3D-Slicer/ITK-SNAP software to draw the area of interest (ROI). "Pyradiomics" library will be used to extract the radiomics features.
The 30min following the transrectal ultrasonography

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Gleason's score of positive tissue
Time Frame: Up to seventh day when the pathological results were obtained after the targeted biopsy
Gleason's score of positive tissue from targeted prostate biopsy. Prostate cancer was graded by Gleason score (GS) ranging from 6 to 10. Tumors of GS 6 (3 + 3) are considered low grade (LG), while GS ≥7 are high grade (HG).
Up to seventh day when the pathological results were obtained after the targeted biopsy
PI-RADS score
Time Frame: Within one month prior to prostate biopsy.
Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score was obtained according to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. PI-RADS is used to standardize interpretation of prostate MRI. Each lesion is assigned a score from 1 to 5 indicating the likelihood of clinically significant cancer. PI-RADS 1: clinically significant cancer is highly unlikely to be present; PI-RADS 2: clinically significant cancer is unlikely to be present; PI-RADS 3: the presence of clinically significant cancer is equivocal; PI-RADS 4: clinically significant cancer is likely to be present; PI-RADS 5: clinically significant cancer is highly likely to be present.
Within one month prior to prostate biopsy.
Incidence of complications
Time Frame: Up to the first month after the targeted biopsy
Incidence of complications associated with prostate biopsy
Up to the first month after the targeted biopsy
