Abstract

PURPOSE: The PRECISE score estimates the likelihood of radiological progression in patients on active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer (PCa) with serial multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). A PRECISE score of 1 or 2 denotes radiological regression, PRECISE 3 indicates stability and PRECISE 4 or 5 implies progression. We evaluated the inter-reader reproducibility of different apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculations and their relationship to the PRECISE score. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Baseline and follow-up scans (on the same MR systems) of 30 patients with visible lesions from two different institutions were analysed by two radiologists. The PRECISE score was initially assessed in consensus. At least six weeks later, to reduce the likelihood of being influenced by the consensus PRECISE reading, each radiologist independently calculated ADC for the following: lesion, non-cancerous tissue and urine in the bladder. Normalised ADC ratios were calculated with respect to normal prostatic tissue (npADC) and urine. Spearman's correlation (ρ), intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), differences in ADC and ROC curves were computed. RESULTS: Interobserver reproducibility was very good (ρ > 0.8; ICC > 0.90). Lesion ADC (0.91 vs 0.73 × 10-3 mm2/s; p=0.025) and npADC ratio (0.68 vs 0.53; p=0.012) at follow-up mpMRI were different between patients with radiological regression or stability vs progression. Cut-offs of 0.77 × 10-3 mm2/s (lesion ADC) and 0.59 (npADC ratio) could differentiate the two groups (area under the curve: 0.74 and 0.77, respectively). CONCLUSION: The ADC, npADC ratio and the PRECISE score should be recorded for MRI-based AS.
