Evaluating the Role of Biparametric MRI and Image-fusion Targeted Biopsies for Detection of Prostate Cancer
To evaluate the role of biparametric MRI and image-fusion targeted biopsies for the detection of prostate cancer. To determine whether biparametric MRI (bpMRI) could be recommended as an alternative to multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancers in patients at risk. To determine whether image-fusion targeted biopsy is better than visual-registration (cognitive) targeted biopsy at detecting clinically significant prostate cancers in patients requiring prostate biopsy due to a suspicious MRI.
• Age 18 years or above (no upper limit)
• Patients with a prostate (either cis-male gender or trans-female gender with no prior androgen deprivation hormone use at all).
• Referred to hospital and advised to undergo a prostate MRI because of an abnormal digital rectal examination (regardless of PSA level) and/or an elevated PSA (within 6 months of screening visit) PSA \>/=3.0ng/ml for age 50-69 years PSA \>/=5.0ng/ml for age \>/=70 years If family or ethnic risk for prostate cancer, PSA \>/=2.5ng/ml for age 45-49 years
• Visible suspicious finding on mpMRI or bpMRI from randomisation 1 requiring a targeted biopsy (MRI score 3, 4, 5 on either Likert or PIRADS schema)
