Abstract
Objective

To assess the usefulness of IGF-1 and internal organ fat measured by bioelectrical impedance audiometry to avoid rebiopsies in patients with persistently high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.

Material and method

A prospective study was conducted with 92 patients who underwent prostate rebiopsy due to high PSA levels with negative results in the rectal examination and a lack of preneoplastic lesions. The patients previously had their IGF-1 levels measured and had undergone an impedance audiometry test using the abdominal Fat Analyzer AB-140 TANITA system. We calculated the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the PSA levels, %PSA, internal organ fat and IGF-1 and PSA density.

Results

Twenty-five patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer. These patients had significantly higher PSA, PSAd and IGF-1 values and a tendency toward higher internal organ fat levels and lower %PSA readings (p=.001, p=0.003, p=0.001, p=0.24 and p=0.28, respectively). The ROC curve showed an area under the curve for IGF-1 and PSA of 0.82 and 0.81, respectively. Using the cutoff points for 95% sensitivity and using the 3 criteria as an indication of rebiopsy, 74% of the biopsies would have been spared, leaving undiagnosed only 1 patient with clinically significant cancer—Gleason score>7 (4+3). The positive and negative predictive values for the set of variables were higher than for each one separately (PPV: 66/NPV: 63). The cost of both determinations was 82 euros.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that measuring IGF-1 could significantly decrease the number of unnecessary rebiopsies in an inexpensive and safe manner.

Resumen
Objetivo

Valorar la utilidad del IGF-1 y la grasa en órganos internos medida por impedanciometría bioeléctrica para el ahorro de rebiopsias innecesarias en pacientes con persistencia de PSA elevado.

Material y método

Estudio prospectivo en 92 pacientes sometidos a rebiopsia de próstata por PSA elevado con tacto rectal negativo y ausencia de lesiones preneoplásicas. Previamente se determinó el valor de IGF-1 y se realizó un test de impedanciometría mediante el sistema abdominal Fat Analyser AB-140 TANITA. Se calcularon las curvas ROC para el PSA, % PSA, grasa en órganos internos e IGF-1 y PSA densidad.

Resultados

Veinticinco pacientes fueron diagnosticados de cáncer de próstata. Estos presentaron de forma significativa mayores valores de PSA, PSAd e IGF-1 y una tendencia a mayores valores de grasa en órganos internos y menores cifras de %PSA (p=0,001; p=0,003; p=0,001; p=0,24 y p=0,28 respectivamente). La curva ROC mostró un área bajo la curva del IGF-1 y del PSA de 0,82 y 0,81. Empleando los puntos de corte para la sensibilidad del 95% y usando los 3 criterios como indicación de rebiopsia se habría ahorrado un 74% de las biopsias dejando de diagnosticar únicamente a un paciente con cáncer clínicamente significativo—>Gleason 7 (4+3)—. Los valores predictivos positivo y negativo para el conjunto de las variables fue superior a las de cada una por separado (VPP: 66/VPN: 63). El coste de ambas determinaciones es de 82 euros.

Conclusiones

Nuestros resultados sugieren que la medición de IGF-1 podría disminuir el número de rebiopsias innecesarias de forma significativa, barata e inocua.
