Conducting Active Surveillance Without Prostate Biopsy for Patients With Low-risk Suspected Prostate Cancer

Sponsor: Anhui Provincial Hospital

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the role of the USTC diagnostic model in risk-adaptive strategies for biopsy decision-making in patients with low-risk suspected prostate cancer in order to reduce unnecessary biopsy. Based on the USTC diagnostic model (website: https://ustcprostatecancerprediction.shinyapps.io/dynnomapp/) and serum PSA levels, patients with low-risk suspected prostate cancer are enrolled and received active surveillance rather than biopsy. The main questions to be answered is: • The safety and feasibility of conducting biopsy-free active monitoring in patients with low-risk suspected prostate cancer accessed by the USTC diagnostic model and serum PSA levels. Participants will be required to undergo serum PSA testing every 3 months, mpMRI testing every 6 months, and reassessment of the probability of developing prostate cancer using the USTC model every 3 months. Patients who do not meet the inclusion criteria and are at increased risk will no longer receive active surveillance and will be advised to undergo biopsy. Dynamic changes in PI-RADS score and biopsy results will also be recorded.
