Abstract
BACKGROUND: Novel methods of risk stratification are needed for men with prostate cancer. The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) uses multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) to assign a score indicating the likelihood of clinically significant prostate cancer. We evaluated pretreatment mpMRI findings, including PI-RADS score, as a marker for outcome in patients treated with primary radiation therapy (RT). METHODS: One hundred and twenty-three men, 64% and 36% of whom had National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) intermediate-risk and high-risk disease, respectively, underwent mpMRI prior to RT. PI-RADS score and size of the largest nodule were analyzed with respect to freedom from biochemical failure (FFBF) and freedom from distant metastasis. RESULTS: A PI-RADS score of ≤3, 4, or 5 was defined in 7%, 49%, and 44%; with a median nodule size of 0, 8, and 18 mm, respectively (P < 0.001). Median follow-up was 67 months. Men with PI-RADS ≤ 3, 4, or 5 disease had 7-year FFBF of 100%, 92%, and 65% (P = 0.002), and a 7-year freedom from distant metastasis of 100%, 100%, and 82%, respectively (P = 0.014). PI-RADS (Hazard Ratio 5.4 for PI-RADS 5 vs. 4, P = 0.006) remained associated with FFBF when controlling for NCCN risk category (P = 0.063) and receipt of androgen deprivation therapy (P = 0.535). Nodule size was also associated with FFBF (Hazard Ratio 1.08 per mm, P < 0.001) after controlling for NCCN risk category (P = 0.156) and receipt of androgen deprivation therapy (P = 0.776). CONCLUSION: mpMRI findings, including PI-RADS score and nodule size, may improve risk stratification in men treated with primary RT.
