Interventions

Procedure/Surgery : 1. Experimental group : This group will use a combined approach of MRI and Prostate Health Index (PHI) to decide whether a biopsy is needed. 1) PI-RADS 1-3: For lesions with lower
the patient will undergo surveillance. - PHI density = 80: A standard 12-core biopsy will be performed. 2) PI-RADS 4-5: For highly suspicious lesions (PI-RADS 4 to 5), an MRI-targeted biopsy will be p

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Proportion of clinically significant prostate cancer (=Gleason score 3+4)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Proportion of clinically insignificant prostate cancer (Gleason score 6);Proportion of men in whom mpMRI score for suspicion of clinically significant cancer was 3, 4 or 5;Proportion of men with omitted prostate biopsy in the experimental group;Proportion of total core number omitted in the experimental group;Proportion of men who go on to definitive local treatment or systemic treatment;Proportion of Gleason grade upgrading in men undergoing radical prostatectomy ;Adverse events of post-biopsy (pain, infection, bleeding, hematospermia);Cumulative detection of clinically significant prostate cancer over the 24-months follow up period, including assessment of delayed cancer diagnosis
