Brief summary

This paired cohort blinded trial aims to assess the detection rate of clinically significant cancer of MRI-targeted biopsy compared to standard 12-core TRUS biopsy in men referred with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer who have had no prior prostate biopsy. The investigators hypothesize that additional MRI-targeted biopsy will detect more clinically significant cancers than standard TRUS biopsy. Main objective: To compare MR-target vs. standard 12-cores TRUS-biopsy for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer.

Detailed description

Before prostate biopsy, all patients be preceded by mpMRI. The mpMRI is read by an experienced radiologist according to the PI-RADS version 2 scoring system. PI-RADS scoring system is used to assign a degree of doubt prostate cancer. Depending on the PI-RADS score, MR targeted biopsy is determined. 1. MR-targeted biopsy using Artemis device fusion of MRI and ultrasound images would be performed. MR targeted biopsy would be performed by radiologist. 2. Next conventional ultrasound-guided 12-core systematic biopsy would be performed by urologist. This portion will be performed without information of the MRI report.
