The Value of MultiSpectral 3 Tesla MRI in Active Surveillance of Prostate Cancer

July 8, 2013 updated by: Masoom Haider, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

To Determine if MultiSpectral 3 Tesla MRI Can Provide Added Value in the Detection of Significant Cancers in Patients o n Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer

MultiSpectral 3 Tesla MRI (MS3TMRI) can increase the yield of Trans Rectal Ultrasound Biopsy (TRUSBx) to improve identification of patients on active surveillance requiring treatment.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective single arm study. 120 patients at risk for significant occult prostate cancer on an active surveillance program will undergo MS3TMRI followed by a standard TRUSBx and additional biopsies guided by the MS3TMRI results. The positive predictive value (PPV) of MS3TMRI-TRUSBx for cancer requiring consideration of therapy will be compared to the PPV of TRUSBx alone. MS3TMRI consists of T2, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCEMRI), proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) interpreted by a radiologist and by CAD methods validated on whole mount prostate specimens.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of MS3TMRI-TRUSBx for detection of a patient with a cancer burden requiring consideration of immediate therapy.
Time Frame: The outcome measure will be evaluated at the time of the results of the TRUSbx which will be approximately 2 weeks after the biopsy
Compare the targeted biopsy to the random biopsies
The outcome measure will be evaluated at the time of the results of the TRUSbx which will be approximately 2 weeks after the biopsy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The number of cores required for diagnosis of prostate cancer for MS3TMRI-TRUSBx versus TRUSBx alone
Time Frame: The outcome measure will be evaluated at the time of the results of the TRUSbx which will be approximately 2 weeks after the biopsy
The outcome measure will be evaluated at the time of the results of the TRUSbx which will be approximately 2 weeks after the biopsy
