简要总结
This multicenter, prospective, single-arm study evaluates a novel streamlined pathway for men at high risk of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) identified by the USTC model (probability ≥0.60). Under general anesthesia, participants undergo MRI/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy; the cores are immediately analyzed by frozen section hematoxylin-eosin staining and rapid immunohistochemistry. If csPCa is confirmed intraoperatively, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is performed during the same anesthesia session. The primary aims are to determine the diagnostic concordance between intraoperative rapid pathology and definitive paraffin pathology, the positive surgical margin rate at 12 months, and perioperative safety. The study enrolls 150 participants across 12 Chinese hospitals and is expected to provide evidence supporting an efficient, PET-independent, one-stage diagnostic-therapeutic strategy for clinically significant prostate cancer.
详细描述
Study Design and Setting This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical study conducted in 12 tertiary hospitals in China that have established multidisciplinary prostate cancer teams.
Screening and Enrollment Male patients with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer undergo serum total PSA testing and 3.0T multiparametric MRI. Prostatic volume is measured to calculate prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD), and the index lesion is scored using PI-RADS v2.1. These parameters are entered into the USTC online nomogram (https://ustcprostatecancerprediction.shinyapps.io/dynnomapp/) to generate a predicted probability of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Patients with a predicted probability ≥0.60, who meet all eligibility criteria (PSA 4-100 ng/mL, at least one PI-RADS ≥3 lesion, ECOG 0-1, no contraindication to general anesthesia or radical prostatectomy, and no evidence of metastasis), are fully informed and asked to provide written consent. Enrolled participants proceed directly to the interventional pathway.
Intervention Under general anesthesia, MRI/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy (2-4 cores from the index lesion) is performed. The cores are immediately submitted for frozen section hematoxylin-eosin staining and rapid immunohistochemistry (key antibodies: P63, P504s, CK5/6). A pathologist provides a report within 30-60 minutes.
If csPCa is diagnosed intraoperatively, the patient is repositioned and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is completed under the same anesthesia session.
If rapid pathology returns benign tissue, atypical small acinar proliferation, high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, or is non-diagnostic, the procedure is stopped; only the biopsy is performed, and further management follows standard care.

结局指标
主要结局
Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of intraoperative frozen section combined with rapid immunohistochemistry for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa)
时间窗: At the time of final paraffin pathology report (usually within 7-14 days after surgery)
PPV is defined as the proportion of participants who are diagnosed with csPCa by intraoperative frozen section and rapid immunohistochemistry and undergo immediate radical prostatectomy, in whom postoperative paraffin-embedded pathology (the gold standard) confirms the presence of csPCa. The target PPV is set at ≥95%.
次要结局
- Positive surgical margin rate(At the time of final paraffin pathology report (usually within 7-14 days after surgery))
- Concordance of ISUP grade between intraoperative rapid pathology and postoperative paraffin pathology Concordance of ISUP grade between intraoperative rapid pathology and postoperative paraffin pathology(At the time of final paraffin pathology report (usually within 7-14 days after surgery))
- Perioperative complication rate(Up to 30 days after surgery)
- Rate of serious adverse events (SAEs)(From the day of surgery through 12 months of follow-up)
- Intraoperative blood loss and perioperative blood transfusion rate(Intraoperative and up to 30 days after surgery)
- 30-day readmission rate(30 days after initial discharge)
- Urinary continence recovery rate Urinary continence recovery rate Urinary continence recovery rate(3, 6, and 12 months after surgery)
