First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests whether combining two types of scans (PET and MRI) before a prostate biopsy can more accurately find serious prostate cancer while avoiding unnecessary biopsies for low-risk cases. About 167 men with suspected prostate cancer will receive the combined scan, and results will be compared to standard biopsy. The goal is to reduce false negatives and overdiagnosis of harmless cancers.
