Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the usefulness of 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of suspected prostate cancer. Men with suspected prostate cancer based on serum prostate-specific antigen antigen (PSA) value are included. Men are randomized to pre-biopsy MRI or no MRI groups in ratio 1:1. Standard transrectal ultrasound guided biopsies will be taken in addition to extra biopsies from lesions suspicious based on MRI evaluation. Hypothesis is that more prostate cancers will be found after MRI evaluation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Prostate Cancer Diagnoses in MRI and no MRI Groups
The number of patients with confirmed prostate cancer among men with MRI performed before biopsies are compared to the number of patients with prostate cancer confirmed in prostate biopsies without MRI. The number patients with prostate cancer are counted as total from cancers detected in random biopsies and in biopsies targeted based on suspicious MRI findings in MRI group, and from random biopsies in no MRI group.
at the end of the study (up to 1 year)
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Number of Positive Biopsies in MRI and no MRI Groups
at the end of the study (up to 1 year)
Proportion of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancers Detected in MRI and no MRI Groups
at the end of the study (up to 1 year)
Study Arms (2)
MRI done
EXPERIMENTALSubjects with MRI prior prostate biopsies
no MRI
NO INTERVENTIONNo MRI before prostate biopsies
Interventions
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of prostate with Siemens 3-tesla device
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Informed consent
- Suspected prostate cancer based on PSA value (total PSA 2,5-10 ng/ml and PSA free to total ratio \<=0.15, or total PSA 10-20 ng/ml)
- PSA and serum creatinine measurement less than 60 days before transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies
- No evidence of PSA increase by non-cancerous factors (catheterization, bladder stones, urinary tract infection including bacterial prostatitis)
You may not qualify if:
- Previous prostate biopsies
- Previous prostate surgery
- Contraindication for MRI (such as pacemaker or inner ear implant)
- Claustrophobia
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<40 ml/min
- Suspected clinical T3-T4 prostate cancer based on digital rectal examination
- Contraindication for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies
- body mass index \>30
