Abstract

Purpose

The diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) still relies on the performance of both targeted (TB) and systematic biopsies (SB). Micro-ultrasound (mUS)-guided biopsies demonstrated a high sensitivity in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), which could be comparable to that of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-TB, but their added value has not been compared to SB yet.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, based on Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science, in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, to compare mUS-guided biopsies to SB.

Results

Based on the literature search of 2957 articles, 15 met the inclusion criteria (2967 patients). Most patients underwent mUS-guided biopsies, followed by MRI-TB and SB. Respectively 5 (n = 670) and 4 (n = 467) studies, providing raw data on SB, were included in a random-effect meta-analysis of the detection rate of csPCa, i.e. Gleason Grade Group (GGG) ≥ 2 or non-csPCa (GGG = 1). Overall, PCa was detected in 56–71% of men, with 31.3–49% having csPCa and 17–25.4% having non-csPCa. Regarding csPCa, mUS-guided biopsies identified 196 and SB 169 cases (Detection Ratio (DR): 1.18, 95% CI 0.83–1.68, I2 = 69%), favoring mUS-guided biopsies; regarding non-csPCa, mUS-guided biopsies identified 62 and SB 115 cases (DR: 0.55, 95% CI 0.41–0.73, I2 = 0%), also favoring mUS-guided biopsies by decreasing unnecessary diagnosis.

Conclusion

Micro-ultrasound-guided biopsies compared favorably with SB for the detection of csPCa and detected fewer non-csPCa than SB. Prospective trials are awaited to confirm the interest of adding mUS-guided biopsies to MRI-TB to optimize csPCa detection without increasing overdiagnosis of non-csPCa.
