Lauren Marlatt, Thomas Lilieholm, Michael Risk, David Jarrard, Erica Knavel-Koepsel
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, United States of America
Impact: Measured long term outcomes support cryoablation’s efficacy in providing lasting treatment of cancerous prostate lesions, reinforcing this niche approach’s value as a fast, low-morbidity, salvage-friendly alternative to standard of care methodologies, while validating the guidance platform.
  Figure 361-02-006.  Habitat Risk Score Depicts Differential Lesion Growth in Longitudinal MRIs of Patients on Active Surveillance
Veronica Wallaengen, Amanda Galvez, Adrian Breto, Ahmad Algohary, Noah Lowry, Arpita Dutta, Yuwei Zhang, Rajarsi Gupta, Jakub Karczmarzyk, Tahsin Kurc, Erich Bremer, Joel Saltz, Sanoj Punnen, Alan Pollack, Sandra Gaston, Radka Stoyanova
University of Miami, Miami, United States of America
Impact: Habitat Risk Score (HRS) identifies differential lesion growth on longitudinal mpMRI, correlating strongly with digital pathology from prostatectomy. HRS provides a quantitative imaging biomarker for early detection of progression, improving patient selection and monitoring during active surveillance for prostate cancer.

  Figure 361-02-007.  Integration of Habitat Risk Score in Novel Clinical Trial for Characterization of Ultra-Early Response for Prostate Cancer
Adrian Breto, Veronica Wallaengen, Ahmad Algohary, Noah Lowry, Sandra Gaston, Ivaylo Mihaylov, Alan Pollack, Matthew Abramowitz, Benjamin Spieler, Radka Stoyanova
University of Miami, Miami, United States of America
Impact: HRS was successfully integrated into the radiotherapy workflow of the UAdapt trial to enable spatially precise tumor targeting, validate imaging–pathology associations, and provide ultra-early quantitative indicators of treatment response, informing adaptive therapeutic decisions and advancing personalized prostate cancer management.
  Figure 361-02-008.  Association Between Visceral Fat and Prostate Volume Across Ethnic Groups: Findings from Over 10,000 Screening Whole-Body MRI
Rodrigo Solis Pompa, Saqib Basar, Daniel Daly-Grafstein, Madhurima Datta, Ahmed Gouda, Javad Khaghani, Yuntong Ma, Yosef Chodakiewitz, Sam Hashemi
Prenuvo, Inc, San Francisco, United States of America
Impact: This is the first study to use whole-body MRI to quantify visceral fat in relation to prostate enlargement. Our findings reveal metabolic influences on prostate growth and motivate longitudinal studies on metabolic and ethnic factors affecting men’s prostate health.
  Figure 361-02-009.  Evaluation of PI-RADSv2.1 category 3 index lesions on follow up prostate MRI using PRECISE criteria
Sohrab Afshari Mirak, Kaustav Bera, Leonardo BIttencourt, Yong Chen, Sree Harsha Tirumani
University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio, United States of America
Impact: This study demonstrates that majority of PI-RADS 3 prostate lesions remain stable on follow-up MRI using PRECISE criteria, highlighting MRI’s role in risk stratification and biopsy decision-making and supporting the use of PSA and PSAD.
