Brief Summary
The investigators will evaluate the accuracy of performing cytological imprints of targeted biopsies when diagnosing prostate cancer. It is useful to know whether the biopsy is cancer or not, in order to know when to stop sampling and when to continue. The strategy is used in other types of cancer, e.g lung, breast etc

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The rate of positive and negative cytological imprints, e.g presence of malignant cells or not.
The cytological imprints will be compared to the histology of targeted biopsies (defined as gold standard). Measure of agreement, sensitivity and specificity will be calculated.
15 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Interobserver variability
15 months
Other Outcomes (1)
The detection rate of high grade cancer
15 months
Study Arms (1)
MRI and targeted biopsies
OTHERAll patients receive the same level/number of diagnostic procedures. They all undergo targeted biopsies which are compared to the cytological imprints.
Interventions
Each targeted biopsy is subject to cytological imprints. It causes no extra biopsies or extra discomfort for the patients
