Mp11-18 the Concordance Between Conventional Computed Tomography and Nuclear Medicine Bone Scintigraphy in the Identification of Prostate Cancer Metastases to Bone

Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: A previously reported Prostatype algorithm (P-score) incorporating a three-gene signature (IGFBP3, F3, VGLL3) with clinical parameters (Gleason score, PSA and T-stage) was developed and validated in 596 historical patients selected from a population-based cohort. This study aims to retrospectively validate Prostatype algorithms capability to predict the risk of metastasis and prostate cancer (PCa) specific mortality in new diagnosed PCa patients.METHODS: All 716 patients included were diagnosed with PCa using core needle biopsy from January 2008 to December 2010 at Skåne University hospital Malm€ o and Lund Sweden with a follow-up time 8-10 years after diagnosis. Gene expression was assessed by RT-qPCR on all core needle biopsies from diagnosis. A predefined genes score was computed from the expression of the three-gene signature and then combined with clinical parameters (Gleason score, PSA and T-stage) to calculate the P-score (units: 0-15). Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to evaluate the association of gene signature with clinical outcomes. The risk stratification of the score system was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curve. The receiver operating characteristic analysis and decision-curve analysis were used to assess the prediction accuracy and the net-benefit, respectively. Analysis results were compared to known risk scores such as DAmico.RESULTS: Total 365 had valid data, 316 patients were without metastasis at diagnosis, 47 had secondary metastasis during follow up and 33 died due to PCa. All patients that died had a high P-score. The gene signature added significant prognostic information for metastasis (p<0.01) and PCa-specific death (p<0.01). One unit change in P-score has a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.6(95% CI: 1.41-1.82, p<0.0001) for predicting PCa death and HR of 1.48 (95% CI: 1.35-1.63, p<0.0001) for predicting PCa-specific death. P-score was significantly better than DAmico for predicting end-point PCa death (0.89 v.s 0.77, p<0,0001) and metastasis (0.86 v.s 0.77, p<0,0001), unrelated to which treatment was given. Gene signature alone showed a similar prediction power as D'Amico for both end-points. P-score has a much higher net-benefit than D'Amico as revealed by decision curve analysis.CONCLUSIONS: P-score gave improved prognostic evaluation for metastasis and death in PCa compared to other known risk indicators. P-score can be a beneficial tool when treatment decision is made for patients with localised PCa.

Correlation of PSA Level and ISUP Grade Group with Scintigraphic Bone Metastases Detection in 36 Prostate Cancer Patients

“…Prostate cancer is more and more diagnosed in Benin since the introduction of TRUS-guided prostate biopsy in 2013 [2] The advent of choline and PSMA positron emission tomography has revealed that the whole-body scintigraphy can miss up to 24% bone metastatic prostate cancer patients [12]. The computed tomography is available in our country, but it does not perform better than bone scintigraphy [13]. The whole-body magnetic resonance imaging if it is available, may be helpful in non-claustrophobic patients [14] [15].…”
