Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the concordance of treatment decisions made
in multidisciplinary consultation meeting based on targeted biopsies alone or targeted
biopsies associated with systematic biopsies in patients with suspected prostate cancer.
Detailed description:
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in France and is the third most common cancer
death in men.
Early detection is based on family and ethnic history, digital rectal examination and
total PSA testing. It is done at age 50 for the general population but is restricted to
men with an estimated survival of more than 10 years.
In case of clinical suspicion of prostate cancer, the diagnosis is based on the
realization of prostate biopsies. Until recently, 12 so-called "systematic" (BS) biopsies
were performed under ultrasound control, according to a standardized protocol, which
allowed sampling of the entire prostate.
Since the latest recommendations of the French Association of Urology in 2020, an MRI is
systematically indicated before performing biopsies. Indeed, MRI is a sensitive technique
that will increase the suspicion of significant prostate cancer. An MRI is considered
"positive" if at least one suspicious area with a PI-RADS score ≥ 3 is detected. In this
case, the French Association of Urology recommends performing so-called targeted biopsies
(BC) on these suspicious areas associated with the 12 SBs.
From a technical point of view, ultrasound is the reference examination for performing
targeted biopsies on suspicious lesions detected on MRI, either by visual guidance
(cognitive identification) or by image fusion techniques, MRI and ultrasound.
It is now technically possible to perform biopsies directly under MRI in clinical
practice, but the development of this approach remains limited in France. This technique
makes it possible to biopsy the suspect area without resorting to image fusion, thus
limiting targeting errors.
As only MRI can detect cancerous lesions, this study is based on the hypothesis that
targeted biopsies alone taken under MRI could make it possible to make a therapeutic
decision within the framework of a multidisciplinary consultation meeting (RCP) without
resorting to systematic biopsies under ultrasound.
