Diagnostika nádorů prostaty
Cystoscopy
- Shows the urinary tract from inside the bladder
- Thin, flexible camera tube inserted down the urethra
Transrectal ultrasonography
- Creates a picture of the prostate
- Urologists use transrectal ultrasound during prostate biopsy
- Can sometimes see a hypoechoic area
- Tissues or structures that reflect relatively less of the ultrasound waves directed at them
- Ultrasound has poor tissue resolution
- Generally not used clinically [11]
Biopsy
- For microscopic examination
- Tissue samples from the prostate via the rectum
- Biopsy gun
- Inserts and removes special hollow-core needles
- Usually three to six on each side of the prostate
- In less than a second [11]
- Routinely done on an outpatient basis
- Rarely require hospitalization
- Antibiotics should be used to prevent complications like
- Fever,
- Urinary tract infections
- Sepsis [11]
- 55% of men report discomfort during prostate biopsy [11]
Gleason score
- The tissue samples are then examined under a microscope
- Cancer cells present
- Evaluate [11]
- Some prostate cancers are insignificant since they grow slowly (low Gleason score)
- Prostate cancers that will grow aggressively (high Gleason score)
Bone scans
- Reveal osteoblastic appearance due to increased bone density in the areas of bone metastasis
- Opposite to what is found in many other cancers that metastasize.
CT scans
Digital rectal examination (DRE)
- May allow a doctor to detect prostate abnormalities
Piflufolastat F 18 (Pylarify)
phase 3 CONDOR trial (NCT03739684) shared during the 2023 ASCO GU Cancers Symposium showed
- Piflufolastat F 18 (Pylarify) given before positron emission tomography (PET) scanning
- Led to changes in intended management in 39.1% of patients with PSA level below 0.5 ng/mL.1,2
- Reinforces the impact and potential role of piflufolastat F 18 in informing patient management decisions in real-world scenarios
Jean-Claude Provost, MD.
- 74.1% (20/27) of patients had a change in management
- Which led to an escalation of treatment from local salvage therapy to systemic therapy
- Or a shift from observation to initiating treatment
- In 18 of the 20 patients who had an intensification of treatment, piflufolastat F 18 identified lesions.
- Piflufolastat F 18 is a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiopharmaceutical and is approved in the United States for imaging patients with prostate cancer at the time of initial staging and at disease recurrence.

Markery
Metabolity stanovované v diagnostickém panelu H NMR spectroscopy
- Sarcosine, cysteine, glutamate, asparagines, glycine, leucine, proline, threonine, histidine, n-acetyl-aspartic acid, inosine, inositol, adenosine, taurine, creatine, uric acid, glutathione, uracil, kynurenine, glycerol-s-phosphate, glycocholic acid, suberic acid, glutamic acid, xanthosine, 4-acetamidobutyric acid and thymine [1]
- Methyl histidine and proline
- In blood, serum, plasma as well as urine [1]
- Can be used to determine breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer [1]
- Limited set gives a higher specificity and selectivity than the complete metabolome. [1]
- Methyl histidine and proline
- One or more from: acetate, citrate, isoleucine, leucine, tryptophane and lipids [1]
Moč PLS-DA analysis
- Only the integral segments of Methylhistidine and Proline
- Sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 100%
- Changes in the different metabolites included in the panel
- Downregulation
- tryptophan, 1 -Methylhistidine, Proline, acetate [1]
- Upregulation
- Isoleucine and Leucine [1]
- Unchanged
- Citrate, oxoproline [1]

- In those who are at low risk
- Might help people choose active surveillance
- At intermediate risk
- It may help with determining the stage of disease
- At high risk
- Might help find bone disease
- 2011 MRI is used to identify targets for prostate biopsy
- Fusion MRI with ultrasound (US) or MRI-guidance alone
- Men who are candidates for active surveillance
- Fusion MR/US guided prostate biopsy detected 33% of cancers
- Compared to 7% with standard ultrasound guided biopsy [11]: !!!
- For surgical planning for men undergoing robotic prostatectomy
- Help surgeons
- Decide whether to resect or spare the neurovascular bundle
- Determine return to urinary continence
- Assess surgical difficulty [11]
- PI-RADS Reporting system = Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System
- Defining standards of high-quality clinical service for multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI), including image creation and reporting [11]
Endorectal coil magnetic resonance imaging
- Closely evaluate the prostatic capsule and the seminal vesicles
