Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason Score ≥7)
Cancers detected by pathological evaluation of biopsy specimen collected from the respective study arm
At 2 months after the last included biopsy procedure
Secondary Outcomes (1)
detection of clinically insignificant prostate cancer (Gleason Score 3+3)
At 2 months after the last included biopsy procedure
Study Arms (2)
Traditional
OTHERThe traditional/control arm consists of systematic biopsies of the prostate if PSA\>4ng/ml.
Experimental
EXPERIMENTALThe experimental arm consists of MRI tests and targeted biopsies if PI-RADS scores ≥3 or systematic biopsies if PSA\>10ng/ml.
Interventions
MRI/Fusion target biopsies combine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with ultrasound-guided biopsy techniques to obtain tissue samples from areas of the prostate gland that appear abnormal on MRI.
transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate systemic biopsies
