PURPOSE: We compared the performance of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for the prediction of extraprostatic extension in African American and Caucasian American men and evaluated racial disparities in pathological outcomes after radical prostatectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified 975 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy with preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging between January 2013 and April 2019 at our institution. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed predicting pathological extraprostatic extension, high grade prostate cancer (final pathology GGG [Gleason Grade Group] 3 or greater) in the overall population and pathological upgrading (final pathology GGG 3 or greater) in patients with a diagnosis of GGG 1-2 prostate cancer. Adverse pathology was defined as pT3 and/or GGG 3 or greater. RESULTS: A total of 221 (23%) patients were African American. Preoperatively 594 (60.9%) were GGG 1-2 (low risk group) and 381 (39.1%) GGG 3 or greater (high risk group). In the low risk group rates of pathological extraprostatic extension (18% vs 12.8%, p=0.14), adverse pathology (18% vs 13.4%, p=0.2) or upgrading (9.4% vs 12.1%, p=0.4) were similar between races. Similarly, in the high risk group there was no difference in rates of pathological extraprostatic extension. On multivariable analysis multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging predicted the presence of extraprostatic extension (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.29-2.50) and high grade prostate cancer (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.25-2.67) on final pathology. Conversely, race did not predict the outcomes of interest (all values p >0.05). Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging showed comparable sensitivity (22.22% vs 27.84%), specificity (89.2% vs 79.2%), positive predictive value (89.2% vs 83.4%) and negative predictive value (89.2% vs 83.4%) between African American and Caucasian America men, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in staging prostate cancer was similar in African American and Caucasian American patients and no difference was found between races in pathological outcomes after radical prostatectomy. These findings suggest that access to and use of advanced diagnostic tests may help mitigate prostate cancer racial disparities.
