Background: Multiparametric MRI is increasingly used in prostate cancer detection. Previous studies have shown that detection rate of clinically significant cancer is higher in MRI targeted biopsy than systematic biopsy. However, the concordance between the Gleason score on fusion biopsy and radical prostatectomy is less well known. The objective of this study is to look for predictors of histopathologic concordance between biopsy (fusion and systematic) and radical prostatectomy. Methods: We used an institutional database of men who underwent mpMRI-ultrasound fusion targeted and systematic biopsy followed by radical prostatectomy. Gleason score on targeted, systematic and combination (targeted + systematic) biopsy were compared with Gleason score on radical prostatectomy, and concordance was recorded. The McNemar test was used to compare concordance and upgrade rates. Predictors of concordance and upgrade such as age, prostate volume, PSA, PSA density, Gleason score on biopsy, number of targets reported on mpMRI, and PI-RADS score were evaluated with Fisher’s exact test and logistic regression. Results: Surgical pathology was concordant with 47.4% of systematic biopsies, 52.0% of targeted biopsies and 58.4% of combination biopsies. There was no significant difference in concordance rates between systematic and targeted biopsy (P = 0.37). However, combination biopsy was superior to both systematic (RR 1.23, 95% CI 1.08-1.40, P = 0.03) and targeted biopsy (RR 1.12, 95% CI 1.02 – 1.24, P = 0.03) in predicting concordance with surgical pathology. Risk of upgrade to a higher Gleason score on surgical pathology was significantly lower with combination biopsy compared to systematic (RR 0.57, 95% CI 0.46-0.69, P < 0.001) or targeted biopsy alone (RR 0.72, 95% CI 0.61-0.84, P = 0.001). Upgrade rates were 43.9% for systematic biopsy, 34.7% for targeted, and 24.9% for combination. Lastly, we found no significant predictors of concordance or upgrade. Conclusions: Combination biopsy is associated with the highest concordance rate between biopsy and radical prostatectomy when compared with systematic or targeted biopsy alone. Performing targeted biopsy alone will underestimate tumour aggressiveness on surgical pathology.
