Summary

Standardizing prostate biopsy techniques improves local treatment planning. A consensus project harmonized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biopsy strategies, though tailored approaches remain crucial for specific decisions.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Prostate biopsy lacks standardization in patient selection, tools, technique, and strategy, impacting treatment planning.
  • An international consensus project aimed to harmonize these critical aspects of prostate biopsy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a standardized framework for prostate biopsy procedures.
  • To harmonize diagnostic pathways and biopsy strategies for improved prostate cancer management.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review and a modified Delphi process involving 34 international experts over three rounds.
  • Iterative revision of 96-112 statements per round, with consensus assessed using a modified RAND appropriateness method.

Main Results:

  • Consensus achieved on 29 of 36 stems (81%).
  • Endorsement of biparametric and multiparametric MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) with adequate quality.
  • Harmonization of targeted plus perilesional biopsy schemes for treatment planning, with acknowledgment of the need for contralateral sampling in specific cases.

Conclusions:

  • The ProBIOPSY consensus provides a contemporary, standardized framework for prostate biopsy.
  • Targeted biopsy strategies are sufficient for most scenarios, but no single approach fits all treatment decisions.
  • Indication-specific biopsy tailoring remains essential for optimal patient care.
