Notably, the clinical significance of prostatic atrophy in negative biopsies for prostate cancer (PCa) has been studied in a limited number of patients. Therefore, we evaluated whether presence and severity of baseline prostate atrophy among men with initial negative biopsy for PCa increased the risk of subsequent PCa detection in a clinical trial with systematic biopsies. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 5848 men 50-75 years-old with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) between 2.5-10ng/mL and a prior negative biopsy in the Reduction by Dutasteride of PCa Events (REDUCE) study who completed at least a 2-year biopsy. Patients previously on 5-alpha reductase inhibitors were excluded. PCa (defined as present or absent) and prostate atrophy (graded as absent, mild, moderate or marked) were assessed by central pathology review. The association of atrophy in baseline prostate biopsies with positive 2- and 4-year repeat biopsy was evaluated with logistic regression controlling for age, race, body-mass index (BMI), family history of PCa, digital rectal exam (DRE), prostate volume, pre-repeat biopsy PSA and treatment arm (dutasteride or placebo). RESULTS Prostate atrophy was detected in 4085 (69.5%) and graded as mild, moderate and marked in 3507 (59.7%), 573 (9.7%) and 5 (0.1%) baseline biopsies, respectively. Patients with atrophy at baseline were significantly older and had larger prostates (all P<0.01). Prostate atrophy was unrelated to race, BMI, family history of PCa, DRE, PSA and treatment arm. At 2-year biopsy, PCa prevalence was 15% (N=878). In univariable and multivariable analysis, presence of baseline prostate atrophy regardless of grade was significantly associated with lower PCa risk (OR=0.607; P<0.001 and OR=0.623; P<0.001, respectively). These results were virtually unchanged at 4-year biopsy. When stratified by severity, both mild and moderate atrophy were independently associated with lower risk of PCa in univariable (mild: OR=0.622; P<0.001 and moderate: OR=0.521; P<0.001) and multivariable analysis (mild: OR=0.639; P<0.001 and moderate: OR=0.536; P<0.001) at 2-year biopsy. Marked prostate atrophy was not analyzed due to low numbers. CONCLUSIONS In a cohort of men undergoing repeat prostate biopsy 2 and 4 years after negative baseline biopsy, baseline prostate atrophy was independently associated with lower PCa risk. Prostate atrophy in a negative biopsy for PCa may lower risk of PCa detection on repeat biopsy. © 2013 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 189 Issue 4S April 2013 Page: e796 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2013 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.Metrics Author Information Daniel Moreira Manhasset, NY More articles by this author J.
