Volume in diagnosed cancersJ Urol. 1993 Jun;149(6):1478-81.5 year followup. Still one third is ‘relevant ‘cancer Is tumor volume an independent predictor of progression following radical prostatectomy? A multivariate analysis of 185 clinical stage B adenocarcinomas of the prostate with 5 years of followup. Epstein JI , Carmichael M , Partin AW , Walsh PC . Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland. Comment in: Abstract Tumor volume has been shown to be proportionate to Gleason grade, capsular penetration, seminal vesicle invasion, lymph node metastases and capsular margins of resection. Because these variables are often interrelated, it is crucial to determine which of these parameters provides independent prediction of prognosis in prostate cancer. The current study analyzed 185 men who underwent radial retropubic prostatectomy for clinical stage B adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Patients with seminal vesicle invasion or lymph node metastases were excluded, since these findings are almost invariably associated with progression. All patients were followed for a minimum of 5 years after radical prostatectomy. Only 2 men received postoperative adjuvant therapy. At 5 years after radical prostatectomy 58 men (31%) experienced progression, defined by either an elevated postoperative serum prostate specific antigen level, local recurrence or distant metastases. Although by themselves capsular penetration, tumor volume and per cent of the prostate involved by tumor predicted progression, in a stepwise regression analysis they did not provide independent prognostic information. In this multivariate analysis Gleason score was the best predictor of progression (p < 0.0001); surgical margin was the only other variable that enhanced prediction, although it was less influential than grade (p = 0.018). This strong predictability provided by Gleason score was all the more impressive given the relatively few patients in our study with either low or high grade tumor. Although an accurate preoperative assessment of tumor volume remains desirable for the management of patients with prostate cancer, our study demonstrates that measurement of tumor volume in radical prostatectomy specimens need not be performed as part of the routine pathological analysis of radical prostatectomy specimens, since it does not provide additional information beyond that of Gleason score and the status of capsular margins.
Cystoprostatectomy specimens were evaluated in 66 male patients operated on for a pathological condition of the bladder with no evidence of prostatic malignancy on preoperative clinical assessment. There were 38 prostate cancers identified in 25 of 66 patients (38 per cent). Multiple foci of adenocarcinoma were noted in 10 of 25 patients (40 per cent). The mean tumor volume was 0.11 cc, with half of the cancers being less than or equal to 0.01 cc in volume. All 38 cancers were completely localized to the prostate and exact anatomical sites of origin for each of the cancers within the prostate were mapped. Whereas anatomical distribution of the cancers in the anteroposterior dimension was roughly uniform, a distinct predominance of apical prostatic cancers was observed. Possible anatomical explanations and implications of these findings in terms of the apical surgical margins at radical prostatectomy and cystoprostatectomy, and the new technologies currently available for diagnosis of prostate cancer are discussed

At initial screening the fraction of positive biopsies was 29% (541 of 1850). Applying an additional P(biop+) cut-off of 12.5% implied that 613 of the 1850 men (33%) would not have been biopsied. This would result in an increase in the positive predictive value (PPV) to 38% (468 of 1237). At repeat screening a similar P(biop+) cut-off would result in an increase in the PPV from 19% (225 of 1201) to 25% (188 of 760). Thirteen percent of PC cases would not have been diagnosed, of which 70% (initial screening) and 81% (repeat screening) could be considered as potentially indolent. None of the deadly PC cases would have been missed. A PSA cut-off of 4.0 ng/ml resulted in similar numbers of biopsied cases saved but considerably higher numbers of missed diagnoses.

The ERSPC RC performs well in a clinical setting. phi plus DRE outperform the classical approach for risk assessment (PSA plus DRE outcome). There is additional value of phi to the ERSPC RC (not significant), however specificity increases considerably. The combination of phi and DRE, results in equal performance (expressed as AUC) with the ERSPC RC for HG PC but circumvents the need of prostate volume assessment.

The value of EZH2, p27(kip1), BMI-1 and MIB-1 on biopsy specimens with low-risk prostate cancer in selecting men with significant prostate cancer at prostatectomy. Wolters T , Vissers KJ , Bangma CH , Schröder FH , van Leenders GJ . Department of Urology, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. t.wolters@erasmusmc.nl Abstract OBJECTIVE: To assess the additional prognostic value of the molecular markers EZH2, MIB-1, p27(kip1) and BMI-1 on needle biopsies from men with low-risk prostate cancer, as this disease in needle biopsies shows a heterogeneous clinical outcome, and while it is known that the expression of these tissue markers is predictive of the clinical outcome after radical prostatectomy (RP) their value in prostate biopsies is largely unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included men participating in a screening study, diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer and subsequently treated with RP. Immunohistochemical staining for EZH2, MIB-1, p27(kip1) and BMI-1 on the needle biopsies were (semi)quantitatively scored and expression levels were related to significant disease at RP. Clinical low-risk prostate cancer was defined as a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of < or =10 ng/mL, clinical T-stage < or =2, biopsy Gleason score < or =6, a PSA density of <0.20 ng/mL/g and two or fewer positive cores. Significant PC at RP was defined as presence of any of extracapsular extension, Gleason pattern 4/5, or tumour volume > or =0.5 mL. RESULTS: In all, 86 biopsy specimens were included; there was high EZH2 expression (>1.0%) in 42% and a low p27(kip) expression (<90%) in 63%. Significant disease was present in 44 (51%) RP specimens. A high EZH2 (odds ratio 3.19, P = 0.043) and a low p27(kip1) (4.69, P = 0.036) were independent predictors for significant prostate cancer at RP. CONCLUSIONS: The determination of EZH2 and p27(kip1) on diagnostic needle biopsies supports the selection of men with indolent prostate cancer at RP. Especially p27(kip1) could improve the pretreatment risk assessment of patients with low-risk prostate cancer.
