Optimizing prostate biopsy for multiple MRI lesions
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study aims to find the best way to take tissue samples (biopsies) from the prostate when MRI shows more than one suspicious spot. It will help doctors know exactly where to biopsy to reduce false negatives and avoid missing cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have never had a prostate biopsy before.
- Your MRI of the prostate shows more than one suspicious area (lesion).
- Your PSA level is less than 50 ng/mL.
- Your MRI was done within the last month and is of good quality.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a new approach to prostate biopsy that takes samples from around a suspicious area seen on MRI. It aims to see if this method can better detect prostate cancer compared to standard biopsy.
This trial tests whether adding a targeted biopsy to a standard sextant biopsy improves the detection of prostate cancer. It is for men aged 45 to 85 who have a suspicious spot on an MRI of their prostate and have not had a biopsy before.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence tool for MRI can improve the results of targeted prostate biopsy, compared to the usual method. It could help diagnose prostate cancer more accurately with fewer needles.
This trial is testing whether taking extra biopsy samples from specific areas seen on an MRI can better detect prostate cancer compared to the standard method of taking samples from all over the prostate. It may help men who have a suspicious MRI finding and a higher PSA level.
This study uses a special type of MRI to look at suspicious spots in the prostate. It may help doctors decide if you need a biopsy or can safely avoid one.
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.
