Gleason Grade 1 Prostate Cancer Volume at Biopsy Is Associated With Upgrading but Not Adverse Pathology or Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy: Results From a Large Institutional Cohort

Kevin Shee et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between low-grade prostate cancer volume and outcomes in men who underwent primary radical prostatectomy. The results showed that tumor volume was associated with upgrading at radical prostatectomy, but not with adverse pathology or recurrence.

Systematic Review of Active Surveillance for Clinically Localised Prostate Cancer to Develop Recommendations Regarding Inclusion of Intermediate-risk Disease, Biopsy Characteristics at Inclusion and Monitoring, and Surveillance Repeat Biopsy Strategy

Peter-Paul M. Willemse et al.

Summary: This qualitative systematic review explores the criteria for recruitment, monitoring, and reclassification in active surveillance protocols for localized prostate cancer. The study found that a minority of protocols included the use of MRI, and it recommends improvements in biopsy strategies for protocols without mandatory MRI use.

Metastasis and Mortality in Men With Low- and Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer on Active Surveillance

P. Travis Courtney et al.

Summary: Active surveillance may not be safe for patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, as it may increase the risk of metastasis and prostate cancer-specific mortality. However, carefully selected patients with favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer may be suitable for active surveillance.

An Algorithm to Personalize Nerve Sparing in Men with Unilateral High-Risk Prostate Cancer

Alberto Martini et al.

Summary: This study challenges current guidelines by proving that wide bilateral excision in men with unilateral high-risk prostate cancer is not justified. The study proposes performing nerve sparing and incremental nerve sparing in case of contralateral low and intermediate extraprostatic extension risk, respectively.

The current role of MRI for guiding active surveillance in prostate cancer

Guillaume Ploussard et al.

Summary: Active surveillance is a recommended treatment option for prostate cancer management, preserving oncological and functional outcomes. Additional monitoring using relevant parameters and MRI can improve initial stratification and reduce invasive procedures. However, abandoning biopsies without MRI progression is not yet recommended in routine practice.

Grade group 1 prostate cancer on biopsy: are we still missing aggressive disease in the era of image-directed therapy?

Michael Baboudjian et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed European RP data to assess the rate of adverse features at final pathology in patients with GGG1 at mpMRI-targeted biopsy. The results showed that 34.1% of patients with cT1-T2 cN0 GGG1-PCa had adverse features at final pathology, with only unfavorable intermediate-risk/high-risk disease predicting adverse features.

EAU-EANM-ESTRO-ESUR-SIOG Guidelines on Prostate Cancer-2020 Update. Part 1: Screening, Diagnosis, and Local Treatment with Curative Intent

Nicolas Mottet et al.

Summary: The 2020 EAU-EANM-ESTRO-ESUR-SIOG guidelines on screening, diagnosis, and treatment of localized prostate cancer summarize the most recent recommendations for clinical practice, including risk-adapted strategies, medical imaging utilization, biopsy techniques, patient classification, and treatment options. Recommendations include consideration of moderate hypofractionation for intermediate-risk patients and a combination of local treatment with long-term hormonal therapy for cN1 PCa patients.

Edward Schaeffer et al.

Summary: The NCCN Guidelines for Prostate Cancer provide recommendations for staging and risk assessment post-diagnosis, with management options for localized, regional, and metastatic disease. The guidelines also cover disease monitoring and treatment of recurrent disease. The NCCN Prostate Cancer Panel meets annually to update recommendations based on new clinical data, aiming to provide the most effective care for patients.

Active Surveillance-Is It Feasible for Intermediate-risk Localised Prostate Cancer?

Subhabrata Mukherjee et al.

Summary: This study compared the outcome of active surveillance in low-risk and intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients, and found no significant difference in survival outcomes between the two groups. Carefully selected intermediate-risk patients could be offered the option of active surveillance.
