MRI screening could catch dangerous prostate cancers years earlier
NCT ID NCT05608694
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether regular MRI scans can find high-grade prostate cancer earlier in men who are at high risk. Researchers will screen 250 men with no prior prostate cancer every 3 years for up to 15 years. The goal is to see if MRI detects aggressive cancers sooner than standard methods, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
