    Abstract Aim: A false positive (FP) referral after screening mammography may influence a woman's likelihood to re-attend the screening program. The impact of having a FP result in the first or subsequent screening round on re-attendance after a FP result was investigated. In addition, we aimed to study differences in re-attendance rates between women who underwent non-invasive and invasive additional examinations as part of the diagnostic work-up following a FP referral.
    Methods: A consecutive series of 13,597 women with a FP referral following biennial screening mammography in the south of the Netherlands between 2009 and 2019 was included.
    Results: The screening re-attendance rate was 81.2% after a FP referral, and 91.3% when also including women who had clinical mammographic follow-up. Women who received a FP referral in the first screening round were less likely to re-attend the screening programme in the following three years, compared to those with a FP test in any subsequent round (odds ratio (OR): 0.59, 95%-confidence interval (CI): 0.51-0.69). Women with a FP referral who underwent invasive examinations after referral were less likely to re-attend the screening programme than those who only received additional imaging (OR, 0.48; 95% CI 0.36-0.64).
    Conclusion: Women with a FP referral are less likely to re-attend the screening programme if this referral occurs at their first screening round or when they undergo invasive diagnostic workup. Hospitals and screening organizations should prioritize informing women about the importance of re-attending the programme following a FP referral.

    Abstract Objectives: There is no consensus on the most reliable procedure to determine remission of cervical cancer after chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Therefore, this study aims to assess the diagnostic performance of two different imaging techniques, MRI and 18F[FDG]-PET/CT, in determining the presence of locoregional residual disease after CRT in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
    Methods: Patients diagnosed with locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO 2009) treated with CRT were retrospectively identified from a regional cohort. The accuracy of MRI and 18F[FDG]-PET/CT in detecting locoregional residual disease was assessed with histology as the reference standard.
    Results: The negative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV) for locoregional residual disease detection of MRI and 18F[FDG]-PET/CT combined were 84.2% (95% CI 73.2-92.1), and 70.4% (95% CI 51.8-85.2), respectively. The NPV and PPV of MRI alone were 80.2% (95% CI 71.2-87.5) and 47.7% (95% CI 35.8-59.7), respectively, and values of 81.1% (95% CI 72.2-88.3) and 55.8 (95% CI 42.2-68.7), respectively, were obtained for 18F[FDG]-PET/CT alone.
    Conclusion: In this study, the reliability of MRI and 18F[FDG]-PET/CT in detecting locoregional residual disease was limited. Combining MRI and 18F[FDG]-PET/CT did not improve predictive values. Routine use of both MRI and 18F[FDG]-PET/CT in the follow-up after CRT should be avoided. MRI during follow-up is the advised imaging technique. Pathology confirmation of the presence of locoregional residual disease before performing salvage surgery is warranted.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the accuracy of computed tomography (CT)-based staging in selecting high-risk colon cancer patients who would benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy while avoiding overtreatment.
    Methods: Data of adult patients diagnosed with non-metastatic primary colon cancer in 2005-2020, who underwent surgical resection without neoadjuvant chemotherapy, were retrospectively collected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Agreement between clinical and pathological evaluation for each T and N stage was calculated. Sensitivity and specificity analyses were conducted to predict T3-T4 and N1-N2 stages, with histopathology as the reference standard.
    Results: Data from 44,471 patients (median age, 71 years, 50% female) were evaluated. We included 38,915 patients with complete T stage and 39,565 patients with complete N stage for analyses. The overall clinical-pathological agreement for T stage was 59% and for N stage 57%. The sensitivity and specificity of CT to detect T3-T4 tumours were 80% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.79, 0.80) and 76% (95% CI: 0.75, 0.77), respectively, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 92% (95% CI: 0.92, 0.92). The sensitivity and specificity of CT to detect N1-N2 category were 62% (95% CI: 0.61, 0.63) and 70% (95% CI: 0.69, 0.71), respectively, with PPV 60% (95% CI: 0.59, 0.60).
    Conclusion: CT-based staging shows limited accuracy in selecting colon cancer patients who would benefit from neoadjuvant therapy without risking overtreatment. Detection of lymph node metastases with CT remains unreliable.

    Abstract Background: Despite thorough preoperative work-up for cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC), so called open-close (OC) procedures as a result of irresectable disease remain common. Currently, diagnostic laparoscopy (DLS) is considered the gold standard, and consequently overrules the results of computed tomography (CT) scans; however, certain regions of the abdomen are difficult to assess and postoperative adhesion formation may further compromise staging during DLS.
    Purpose: To determine whether better clinical assessment could be achieved by combining the results of DLS and preoperative CT scans during a multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting.
    Material and methods: All patients who were eligible for CRS-HIPEC after DLS, but eventually underwent an OC procedure between 2010 and 2018 were selected. Radiological reassessment of CT scans was performed and combined with assessment of the DLS during a MDT meeting. The MDT was blinded for the outcome of the procedure (OC vs. CRS-HIPEC).
    Results: The majority of the OC procedures (69%) was correctly predicted by the MDT. In most patients (88%), this conclusion was based on the combination of the radiological and surgical peritoneal cancer index (PCI). CT was particularly accurate for detection of larger tumor deposits in the abdominal regions, as 84%-86% was detected. Assessment of lesions in the small bowel regions is troublesome; 72% of lesions are missed on the preoperative CT scan.
    Conclusions: A combination of radiological and surgical assessment of the PCI may lead to improved preoperative patient selection for CRS-HIPEC.

    Abstract Objectives: Prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) with subsequent targeted biopsy of suspicious lesions have a critical role in the diagnostic workup of prostate cancer. The objective was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of systematic biopsies, targeted biopsies, and the combination of both in prostate cancer detection.
    Methods: From 1-1-2013 to 1-6-2022, biopsy-naïve and prior biopsy-negative patients who underwent both systematic and targeted biopsies were included. MRIs were evaluated according to PI-RADS with biopsy threshold set at PI-RADS ≥3. Systematic biopsies consisted of 8-12 cores, based on prostate volume. Overall prostate cancer and clinically significant cancer (Gleason Score ≥3 + 4) detection rates were stratified based on PI-RADS and location within the prostate, and compared between biopsy types using McNemar's test.
    Results: Among 867 patients, 615 had prostate cancer, with 434 clinically significant cases. Overall detection rates were: PI-RADS 3 48%, PI-RADS 4 72% and PI-RADS 5 90%. Detection rates for clinically significant cancer were 21%, 53% and 72%, respectively. The combination of biopsy methods was most accurate in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (P < 0.001). Targeted biopsies alone detected more clinically significant prostate cancer than systematic biopsies alone (43.1% versus 40.3%, P = 0.046). For posterior PI-RADS 5 lesions, no statistically significant difference was found between all biopsy methods.
    Conclusions: In the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer, the combination of systematic and targeted biopsies proves most effective. Targeted biopsies rarely missed significant cancer for posterior PI-RADS 5 lesions, suggesting systematic biopsies could be reserved for instances where targeted biopsy results are negative.
    Advances in knowledge: This study emphasizes on the efficacy of mpMRI and targeted biopsies in suspected prostate cancer in real-world clinical context. For PI-RADS 5 lesions, systematic biopsies provide limited clinical benefit and may only be necessary when targeted biopsy results are negative.

    Abstract Background: Detection of grade 3-4 extra mural venous invasion (mrEMVI) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is associated with an increased distant metastases (DM)-rate. This study aimed to determine the impact of different grades of mrEMVI and their disappearance after neoadjuvant therapy.
    Methods: A Dutch national retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, including patients who underwent resection for rectal cancer in 2016 from 60/69 hospitals performing rectal surgery. Patients with a cT3-4 tumour ≤8 cm from the anorectal junction were selected and their MRI-scans were reassessed by trained abdominal radiologists. Positive mrEMVI grades (3 and 4) were analyzed in regard to 4-year local recurrence (LR), DM, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).
    Results: The 1213 included patients had a median follow-up of 48 months (IQR 30-54). Positive mrEMVI was present in 324 patients (27%); 161 had grade 3 and 163 had grade 4. A higher mrEMVI stage (grade 4 vs grade 3 vs no mrEMVI) increased LR-risk (21% vs 18% vs 7%, <0.001) and DM-risk (49% vs 30% vs 21%, p < 0.001) and decreased DFS (42% vs 55% vs 69%, p < 0.001) and OS (62% vs 76% vs 81%, p < 0.001), which remained independently associated in multivariable analysis. When mrEMVI had disappeared on restaging MRI, DM-rate was comparable to initial absence of mrEMVI (both 26%), whereas LR-rate remained high (22% vs 9%, p = 0.006).
    Conclusion: The negative oncological impact of mrEMVI on recurrence and survival rates was dependent on grading. Disappearance of mrEMVI on restaging MRI decreased the risk of DM, but not of LR.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate uniformity and pitfalls in structured radiological staging of rectal cancer.
    Methods: Twenty-one radiologists (12 countries) staged 75 rectal cancers on MRI using a structured reporting template. Interobserver agreement (IOA) was calculated as the percentage agreement between readers (categorical variables) and Krippendorff's α (continuous variables). Agreement with an expert consensus served as a surrogate standard of reference to estimate diagnostic accuracy. Polychoric correlation coefficients were used to assess correlations between diagnostic confidence and accuracy (=agreement with expert consensus).
    Results: Uniformity to diagnose high-risk (≥cT3 ab) versus low-risk (≤cT3 cd) cT-stage, cN0 versus cN+, lateral nodes and tumour deposits, MRF and sphincter involvement, and solid versus mucinous tumours was high with IOA > 80% in the majority of cases (and >80% agreement with expert consensus). Results for assessing extramural vascular invasion, cT-stage (cT1-2/cT3/cT4a/cT4b), cN-stage (cN0/N1/N2), relation to the peritoneal reflection, extent of sphincter involvement (internal/intersphincteric/external) and morphology (solid/annular/semi-annular) were considerably poorer. IOA was high (α = 0.72-0.84) for tumour height/length and extramural invasion depth, but low for tumour-MRF distance and number of (suspicious) nodes (α = 0.05-0.55). There was a significant positive correlation between diagnostic confidence and accuracy (=agreement with expert consensus) (p < 0.001-p = 0.003).
    Conclusions: - Several staging items lacked sufficient reproducibility.- Results for cT- and N-staging g improved when using a dichotomized stratification.- Considering the significant correlation between diagnostic confidence and accuracy, a confidence level may be incorporated into structured reporting for specific items with low reproducibility.
    Advances in knowledge: Although structured reporting aims to achieve uniformity in reporting, several items lack sufficient reproducibility and might benefit from dichotomized assessment and incorporating confidence levels.

    Abstract Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis of adenomyosis is considered the most accurate non-invasive technique, but remains subjective, with no consensus on which diagnostic parameters are most accurate. We aimed to systematically review the literature on how adenomyosis can be objectively quantified on MRI in a scoping manner, to review the diagnostic performance of these characteristics compared with histopathological diagnosis, and to summarize correlations between measures of adenomyosis on MRI and clinical outcomes.
    Material and methods: We searched databases Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane for relevant literature up to April 2020 according to PRISMA guidelines. We included studies that objectively assessed adenomyosis on MRI, and separately assessed studies investigating the diagnostic performance of MRI vs histopathology for inclusion in a meta-analysis. The QUADAS-2 tool was used for risk of bias, with many studies showing an unclear or high risk of bias.
    Results: Eighty studies were included, of which 14 assessed the diagnostic performance of individual MRI parameters, with four included in the meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy. Common MRI parameters were: junctional zone (JZ) characteristics, such as maximum JZ thickness-pooled sensitivity 71.6% (95% CI 46.0%-88.2%), specificity 85.5% (52.3%-97.0%); JZ differential-pooled sensitivity 58.9% (95% CI 44.3%-72.1%), specificity 83.2% (95% CI 71.3%-90.8%); and JZ to myometrial ratio-pooled sensitivity 63.3% (95% CI 51.9%-73.4%), specificity 79.4% (95% CI 42.0%-95.4%); adenomyosis lesion size, uterine morphology (pooled sensitivity 42.9% (95% CI 15.9%-74.9%), specificity 87.7%, (95% CI 37.9-98.8) and changes in signal intensity-eg, presence of myometrium cysts; pooled 59.6% (95% CI 41.6%-75.4%) and specificity of 96.1% (95% CI 80.7%-99.3%). Other MRI parameters have been used for adenomyosis diagnosis, but their diagnostic performance is unknown. Few studies attempted to correlate adenomyosis MRI phenotype to clinical outcomes.
    Conclusions: A wide range of objective parameters for adenomyosis exist on MRI; however, in many cases their individual diagnostic performance remains uncertain. JZ characteristics remain the most widely used and investigated with acceptable diagnostic accuracy. Specific research is needed into how these objective measures of adenomyosis can be correlated to clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Study objectives: To assess the effect of adenomyosis, endometriosis and combined adenomyosis and endometriosis, diagnosed on MRI, on IVF/ICSI outcomes versus male subfertility controls.
    Study design: This single-centre matched retrospective cohort study was carried out at Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The study group consisted of infertile women undergoing their first, fresh embryo transfer during IVF/ICSI, with adenomyosis only (N = 36), endometriosis only (N = 61), and combined adenomyosis and endometriosis (N = 93) based on MRI. The control group consisted of IVF/ICSI patients undergoing treatment due to male subfertility (N = 889). 1:2 case-control matching based on age during IVF/ICSI, parity and number of embryos transferred was performed. Odds ratios were calculated for biochemical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy and live birth rate versus matched male subfertility controls, and were corrected for embryo quality.
    Results: Only the combined adenomyosis and endometriosis group showed a significantly reduced OR for biochemical pregnancy (p = 0.004, OR 0.453 (95% CI :(0.284-0.791)), ongoing pregnancy (p = 0.001, OR 0.302 (95% CI: (0.167-0.608)) and live birth (p = 0.001, OR 0.309 (95% CI: (0.168-0.644)) compared to matched male subfertility controls.
    Conclusions: The lower (ongoing) pregnancy and live birth rates in the combined adenomyosis and endometriosis women can be attributed to more severe disease in these women, ultimately resulting in increased chances for failed implantation and miscarriage. This highlights the importance of screening for adenomyosis in endometriosis patients, and identifies these women target for additional (hormonal) treatment prior to IVF/ICSI.
