MRI scans to guide biopsy for prostate cancer diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether special MRI “risk maps” can help doctors better identify suspicious areas in the prostate during diagnosis. If you’re having an MRI followed by an MRI-guided biopsy, this may help improve how the biopsy targets areas of concern.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have known or suspected prostate cancer and are already scheduled for a prostate MRI for diagnosis
- After the MRI, you will also have an MRI-guided fusion biopsy of the prostate
- You can read, understand, and sign written consent before the MRI
- You must be able to communicate with the research team and follow the study steps
- You have not had prior prostate cancer treatments like surgery, radiation, focused ablation, or hormone/chemotherapy

This trial studies special MRI images to learn how well they can find prostate cancer before treatment. It may help doctors choose better next steps during biopsy or during active surveillance.
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 uses a special kind of MRI to better “map” prostate cancer inside the prostate. Researchers compare the MRI results with the detailed tissue exam after prostate surgery to see how accurate the imaging is.
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 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 compares two ways of using prostate MRI images to guide a biopsy and check how accurately prostate cancer can be found. If you have MRI spots that may be cancer, the trial will help test whether computer software or a visual method works better.
