Brief Title: Risk-adapted Strategy Including Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Prostate-specific Antigen Density in Blood for Biopsy Decision in Patients With Lesions Suspicious for Prostate Cancer
Official Title: Risk-adapted Strategy Combining Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Prostate-specific Antigen Density to Individualize Biopsy Decision in Patients With PI-RADS 3 'Gray Zone' Lesions
Study ID: NCT06029088
Brief Summary: Recent guidelines now recommend multi parametric magnetic resonance imaging prior to biopsy for all men as an integral part of improved diagnosis of clinical significant prostate cancer. However, magnetic resonance imaging targeted biopsy is a strategy that focuses on maximizing detection of clinical significant prostate cancer, but this procedure has the disadvantage of leading to higher detection of clinically insignificant prostate cancers. One of the risk-stratifications developed to minimize the existing disadvantages and avoid unnecessary biopsy procedures is a strategy in which multi parametric magnetic resonance imaging and prostate-specific antigen density are used in combination. This is especially important in all patients with PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System) 3 lesions which are also interpreted as indeterminate mpMRI findings. Current guidelines suggest that biopsy may be omitted in some patient groups with PI-RADS 3 lesions in the risk-adapted strategy involving prostate-specific antigen density. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of risk-adapted strategies involving prostate-specific antigen density in biopsy decision to avoid unnecessary biopsy vs the risk of missing clinical significant prostate cancer diagnosis in patients with PI-RADS 3 lesions.
