Micro-ultrasound vs MRI for prostate cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two imaging methods, high-resolution micro-ultrasound and MRI, to see which is better at finding prostate cancer in men who have not had a biopsy before. If you are between 50 and 70 with an elevated PSA or abnormal exam, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 50 and 70 years old
- Your PSA level is between 3 and 20, or your doctor found something abnormal during a rectal exam
- You have never had a prostate biopsy
- You have never had prostate cancer or been treated with hormones for it in the past year
- You have not had a previous micro-ultrasound or MRI of your prostate

This trial is testing whether MRI scans can help screen for signs of prostate cancer in men who have not been diagnosed yet but are at higher risk. It may help find concerning changes earlier so doctors can follow up sooner.
This trial compares two advanced imaging techniques—high-frequency micro-ultrasound and multiparametric MRI—to guide biopsies for men who may have aggressive prostate cancer. The goal is to see which method better detects cancer while reducing unnecessary biopsies.
This trial compares a new micro-ultrasound technique to standard ultrasound during prostate biopsy, using MRI results as a guide. It aims to see if the newer method finds cancer more accurately.
This trial tests if a new type of ultrasound (micro-ultrasound) can better detect important prostate cancers in men who are on active surveillance or newly eligible. It may help you avoid unnecessary biopsies while catching cancers that need treatment.
This trial tests whether a combination of a urine test and MRI scan can better detect prostate cancer early. You would provide a urine sample and have an MRI scan of your prostate to see if this approach helps catch cancer sooner.
This study tests a new MRI platform to better identify prostate issues before a biopsy. It is for people with elevated PSA whose doctor is considering a biopsy.
