Summary

This trial is testing whether MRI/US fusion biopsy is better than standard ultrasound biopsy for diagnosing subjects with clinically significant prostate cancer.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with a PSA level above 1.8, abnormal digital rectal exam results, or advised to have a biopsy can join this study if they're able to undergo sedation or anesthesia and have an MRI showing lesions within the past 4 months. They must be well enough to make informed decisions and agree to follow the study rules.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether combining MRI with ultrasound (MR/US fusion) for prostate biopsies is more effective at detecting significant prostate cancer compared to standard ultrasound-guided biopsies alone in men who show potential signs of prostate cancer on MRI scans.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the biopsy procedure may include discomfort, bleeding, infection risk at the biopsy site, and reactions related to sedation or anesthesia used during the procedure.
