MRI-guided biopsy for prostate cancer diagnosis
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to guide prostate biopsies using MRI, which may help doctors take more accurate samples. It is for people with a suspicious area on MRI (PI-RADS 3) who are about to have their first targeted biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a prostate MRI result with a PI-RADS score of 3 (uncertain or moderate risk)
- Your doctor plans to do a targeted biopsy (taking samples from the suspicious area seen on MRI)
- You have never had a prostate biopsy before
- You have not had radiation therapy or chemotherapy for prostate cancer
- You have no medical conditions or devices that make an MRI unsafe (like a pacemaker)

This trial uses MRI to guide a biopsy of the prostate, aiming to better detect cancer in men with abnormal PSA levels, a lump, or a suspicious MRI finding.
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 trial is testing a new way to do prostate biopsies by combining MRI findings with a targeted biopsy on the same side as the suspicious area. It is for men who have not had a biopsy before and have a moderately high PSA level.
This study tests whether using MRI imaging to guide prostate biopsies can help doctors sample only suspicious areas instead of taking many samples throughout the prostate. It may reduce discomfort and complications while still finding prostate cancer if present.
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.
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.
