Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial
MRI Fusion Biopsy vs. Micro-Ultrasound Guided Biopsy
Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out how best to detect clinically significant lesions of prostate cancer by using micro-ultrasound technology (ExactVu) and by multiparametric magnetic-resonance imaging (mpMRI).
Full Description
This is a pilot clinical trial with 30 patients with either: 1) suspected prostate cancer (based on elevated PSA or abnormal digital rectal exam (DRE), or 2) known low-risk prostate cancer being managed with active surveillance.
Enrolled patients will undergo MRI fusion biopsy and standard-template 12 core TRUS biopsy as the standard-of-care. Patients will also undergo micro-ultrasound evaluation and targeted biopsy if lesions are identified. Detection rates of clinically significant lesions by ExactVu and by MRI will be compared.
