Summary

This trial looks at how well MRI works in finding and staging prostate cancer, which may help treatment planning.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men recently diagnosed with prostate cancer who are candidates for definitive surgery. It's not open to those who've had previous treatments for prostate cancer, major pelvic surgeries like hip replacements, or can't have an MRI due to severe claustrophobia, certain metal implants, kidney failure, or exceeding the scanner's weight limit.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how well a type of advanced imaging called multiparametric MRI works in assessing the stage of prostate cancer and aiding in treatment planning. The goal is to see if this MRI technique can better identify aggressive types of prostate cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects mainly relate to undergoing an MRI scan and may include discomfort from lying still during the procedure, loud noises from the machine (ear protection is provided), and reactions to contrast agents used such as nausea or allergic reactions.
