Prostate Cancer Screening
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare whether the FDA and Health Canada approved microUS is as effective as the currently used option (MRI) for imaging the prostate gland. Participants will be randomized into two groups to compare the imaging results of the current standard of care MRI and the new microUS. The study is looking to identify the most effective imaging modality to help guide whether you progress to have a prostate biopsy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Detection of Clinically significant prostate cancer. | Once enrolled, men will be followed for 1 year after the imaging test. | The primary objective of this trial is to determine if a screening pathway using microUS is non-inferior to a pathway using MRI for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer, defined as Gleason Grade Group 2 or more. |
