New MRI technique could sharpen prostate cancer staging
NCT ID NCT03697148
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special type of MRI, called multiparametric MRI, can more accurately determine the stage of prostate cancer in people who are newly diagnosed and planning surgery. The goal is to see if this imaging method helps doctors find aggressive cancers and make better treatment decisions. About 850 participants are involved, and the study focuses on comparing MRI results with standard tests.
