Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Men referred for an initial prostate biopsy; 2. PSA > 3.0 and <50 ng/ml; 3. No contraindications to mp-MRI.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior prostate biopsy; 2. Highly suspicious prostate nodule on DRE; 3. Contraindications to prostate biopsy; 4. Known prostate cancer.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Proportion of men diagnosed with significant cancers defined by Gleason score =7 disease by the two methods (MRI-targeted biopsies vs. standard biopsies).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Proportion of men diagnosed with clinically insignificant prostate cancer (MRI-targeted biopsies vs. standard biopsies). 2. Proportion of men diagnosed with significant cancers defined by Gleason score =7 disease in MRI-targeted biopsies in men with PI-RADS sum =9 vs. the rest. 3. Overall cancer detection rates of MRI-targeted biopsies vs. MRI-targeted biospies in combination with standard biopsies. 4. Proportion of positive cores with any cancer (number of cores with cancer / number of cores taken). 5. Proportion of positive cores with clinically important cancer (number of cores with cancer / number of cores taken). 6. Number of cases where MRI shows definitive lesions but biopsy shows no cancer or Gleason score 6 cancer (false positive rate). 7. Location and size of tumors detected by either sampling strategy or both.
