MRI and PSA test for prostate cancer detection
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares using an MRI along with the PSA blood test and a digital rectal exam to find prostate cancer early. It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 50 and 75 years old.
- Your PSA level is 3 ng/ml or higher, or your doctor found something suspicious during a digital rectal exam.
- You have not been previously diagnosed with prostate cancer.
- You have never had a prostate biopsy before.
- You do not have any metal implants or devices that are not safe for MRI.
- You do not have acute prostatitis (sudden inflammation of the prostate).

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 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 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.
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.
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.
