    Abstract: 51 Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics remains challenging due to fear of over-diagnosis and overtreatment. Due to low accuracy of PSA too many men are biopsied that do not have a subsequent PCa diagnosis or that have indolent disease. Furthermore, persistent risk factors and fear of missed PCa leads to many unnecessary repeat biopsies. Most prostate tumors have epigenetic DNA-methylation aberrations, which display a field effect that can be observed in normal-appearing surrounding tissue, and that could help alleviate biopsy-sampling errors. Methods: A training cohort of methylation-positive men with a negative index biopsy followed by either a Gleason score (GS) ≥ 7 (n=43) or cancer-negative (n=226) repeat biopsy was evaluated. Using the initial negative biopsy, men were stratified for the likelihood of harboring high-grade PCa focusing on a methylation intensity algorithm involving GSTP1, RASSF1 and APC. This algorithm was validated in a cohort of 102 men, with either a PCa-free (n=20), GS6 (n=46), or GS≥7 (n=36) biopsies. Results: The methylation intensity-based algorithm was developed on PCa-negative index biopsies and optimized to predict the presence of GS≥7 cancer in a repeat biopsy. The methylation intensity was significantly higher in GS≥7 compared to PCa-free repeat biopsies (p 〈 0.001). Men with GS6 PCa detected upon repeat biopsy exhibited intermediate intensities. When combined into one model with clinical risk factors (age, pathology, DRE, PSA), an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.762 was obtained, which was significantly higher than the AUC of PSA (0.574; p=0.004) or the AUC of the clinical risk as calculated by the PCPT risk calculator (0.618; p=0.029). In the validation set, an AUC of 0.818 was obtained, with higher intensities for men with GS≥7 disease compared to men with GS6 PCa (p=0.002). Conclusions: The risk score can identify clinically significant cancer in PCa-negative biopsies and is strongly correlated with the GS of PCa-positive biopsies. The risk score could better stratify men for the need for repeat biopsy and the risk of harboring occult clinically significant PCa. The same algorithm could be used to segregate likely under-graded men from active surveillance candidates.

    Abstract: We assessed outcomes of men with prostate cancer enrolled in active surveillance. Patients and Methods Since 1995, a total of 769 men diagnosed with prostate cancer have been followed prospectively (median follow-up, 2.7 years; range, 0.01 to 15.0 years) on active surveillance. Enrollment criteria were for very-low-risk cancers, defined by clinical stage (T1c), prostate-specific antigen density 〈 0.15 ng/mL, and prostate biopsy findings (Gleason score ≤ 6, two or fewer cores with cancer, and ≤ 50% cancer involvement of any core). Curative intervention was recommended on disease reclassification on the basis of biopsy criteria. The primary outcome was survival free of intervention, and secondary outcomes were rates of disease reclassification and exit from the program. Outcomes were compared between men who did and did not meet very-low-risk criteria. Results The median survival free of intervention was 6.5 years (range, 0.0 to 15.0 years) after diagnosis, and the proportions of men remaining free of intervention after 2, 5, and 10 years of follow-up were 81%, 59%, and 41%, respectively. Overall, 255 men (33.2%) underwent intervention at a median of 2.2 years (range, 0.6 to 10.2 years) after diagnosis; 188 men (73.7%) underwent intervention on the basis of disease reclassification on biopsy. The proportions of men who underwent curative intervention (P = .026) or had biopsy reclassification (P 〈 .001) were significantly lower in men who met enrollment criteria than in those who did not. There were no prostate cancer deaths. Conclusion For carefully selected men, active surveillance with curative intent appears to be a safe alternative to immediate intervention. Limiting surveillance to very-low-risk patients may reduce the frequency of adverse outcomes.

    Abstract: To assess the predictive ability of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) velocity (PSAV) and doubling time (PSADT) for biopsy progression and adverse pathology at prostatectomy among men with low-risk prostate cancer enrolled on an active-surveillance program. Methods We evaluated 290 men who met criteria for active surveillance (ie, PSA density 〈 0.15 ng/mL/cm 3 and Gleason score ≤ 6 with no pattern ≥ 4, involving ≤ 2 cores with cancer, and ≤ 50% involvement of any core by cancer) with two or more serial PSA measurements after diagnosis from 1994 to 2008. Follow-up included twice-yearly digital rectal exam and PSA measurements and yearly surveillance biopsy. Treatment was recommended for biopsy progression (ie, Gleason score ≥ 7, or 〉 2 positive cores, or 〉 50% core involvement). Sensitivity and specificity of postdiagnostic PSAV and PSADT were explored by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results Overall, 188 (65%) men remained on active surveillance, and 102 (35%) developed biopsy progression at a median follow-up of 2.9 years. PSADT was not significantly associated with subsequent adverse biopsy findings (P = .83), and PSAV was marginally significant (P = .06). No PSAV or PSADT cut point had both high sensitivity and specificity (area under the curve, 0.61 and 0.59, respectively) for biopsy progression. In those who eventually underwent radical prostatectomy, PSAV (P = .79) and PSADT (P = .87) were not associated with the presence of unfavorable surgical pathology. Conclusion Postdiagnostic PSA kinetics do not reliably predict adverse pathology and should not be used to replace annual surveillance biopsy for monitoring men on active surveillance.
