Early prostate cancer screening with MRI before biopsy
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is testing an approach to find prostate cancer earlier in men who may be at higher risk. If you fit the criteria, you may get an mpMRI scan before undergoing a prostate biopsy to check for cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man age 40 or older
- You either have PSA results suggesting cancer risk and are scheduled for a biopsy, or you are in the healthy comparison group with low PSA
- You must have an mpMRI scan before the prostate biopsy
- You must be able and willing to attend all study visits
- You must have public health insurance and sign an informed consent form
- You cannot already have confirmed prostate cancer

This study explores using repeated MRI scans to catch prostate cancer early in men who have never had a biopsy. If you have a suspicious spot on an MRI, you might be able to get careful monitoring without immediate biopsy, which could help avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study uses repeat MRI scans to monitor men with an intermediate suspicion of prostate cancer, aiming to reduce unnecessary biopsies while still catching significant cancers early.
This study checks whether a detailed MRI method can help find prostate cancer earlier in people considered high risk. You may be asked to get an MRI and help the team see if it works well as a screening test.
This study enrolls men who may have prostate cancer but do not yet have a diagnosis. It uses prostate MRI along with blood and urine tests to see if specific signals can help identify prostate cancer sooner.
This trial tests if using MRI and a blood test called PHI can help decide who needs a prostate biopsy. It aims to avoid unnecessary biopsies while still catching cancer early.
This study checks whether a faster prostate MRI and image-matching (image-fusion) can better find suspicious spots so doctors can target a biopsy. If you have concerning prostate exam results or PSA blood test results, you may get an MRI and, if something looks suspicious, a biopsy using MRI images.
