MRI Prostate for Chinese Men Being Screened for Prostate Cancer

The Use of MRI Prostate in Improving Detection of Significant Prostate Cancer in a Screening Population of Chinese Men With Elevated PSA

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Nov 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Under the prostate cancer screening protocol of the project 'Prevention of Obesity-related Cancers', men with elevated PSA with higher prostate cancer risk (PSA 4-10 ng/mL with high Prostate Health Index (PHI) ≥35, or PSA\>10 ng/mL) will be offered a prostate biopsy. In the current study, we would like to offer all screened men with elevated PSA in the range of 4-50 ng/mL a biparametric non-contrast MRI prostate (screening protocol) for any suspicious lesion in the prostate. If there is MRI lesion seen, additional targeted biopsies can be performed on top of the standard systematic prostate biopsies. It has been shown in a clinical Caucasian cohort that doing MRI-targeted biopsies resulted in improved detection of clinically significant prostate cancer compared with standard systematic biopsies. In this study investigators would like to investigate the benefits of adding MRI prostate and MRI-targeted biopsy in the diagnostic pathway for prostate cancer in a screened cohort of Chinese men at risk of prostate cancer.
