Testing a new ultrasound method for prostate biopsy
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 18 or older
- You are scheduled for a standard prostate biopsy using ultrasound through the rectum
- You have had a prostate MRI before the biopsy
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form

This study tests a new urine test combined with an MRI to find prostate cancer early. It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
This trial tests a newer way to treat certain low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancers using MRI guidance and an ultrasound probe placed through the urethra. It aims to destroy the tumor while using imaging to help target it more precisely.
This trial tests a new imaging scan that combines a special PET tracer with MRI to help guide a prostate biopsy. The goal is to see if this scan can more accurately find cancer and reduce the need for extra biopsies.
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 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.
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.
