TABLE 2.
Site | TP | FP | TN | FN |
Local | 13 | 4 (2 MRI suggesting local recurrence, PSA < 0.05 after salvage radiotherapy [biopsy FN?], 1 with new biopsy planned but not performed for medical reasons and 1 FP without doubt) | 3 | 2 |
Pelvic lymph node | 24 | 2 (1 perirectal lymph node [possibly FN biopsy; remained on later PSMA PET after salvage pelvic LND and PSA still elevated], 1 FP PSA measurement) | 7 | 1 |
Bone | 9 | 3 (1 myeloma, 1 benign acetabular lesion, 1 with later imaging positive for bone metastases [possibly FN biopsy]) | 2 | 0 |
Extrapelvic lymph node | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Lung | 1 | 0 | 3 (correctly recognized as not due to PCa: 1 lung primary, 2 inflammatory nodules) | 0 |
Neural | 1 (neural foramen) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
TP = true-positive; FP = false-positive; TN = true-negative; FN = false-negative.
67 patients and 77 sites were biopsied. Of 67 patients, 49 had at least 1 PCa-positive biopsy site.
