Using genetic risk and MRI to find dangerous prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses a genetic risk score and a special MRI scan to find prostate cancers that are more likely to be dangerous. It aims to see if combining these tests can better identify which men need a biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 looks at your personal and family risk for prostate cancer and helps decide who should have extra screening like MRI. It may help you find cancer earlier if you are at higher genetic risk.
This trial compares using an upfront MRI versus a risk calculator to decide who needs a prostate biopsy. It may help men with suspected localized prostate cancer avoid unnecessary biopsies.
This trial looks at how inherited risk (family history or gene findings) relates to screening and treatment for prostate cancer. If you qualify, you may be offered prostate screening tests and follow-up to see how well risk information predicts next steps.
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 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.
