Summary

This study tests whether combining two types of scans (PET and MRI) before a prostate biopsy can more accurately find serious prostate cancers while avoiding unnecessary biopsies for low-risk cancers. 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.
