The Value of MultiSpectral 3 Tesla MRI in Active Surveillance of Prostate Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
MultiSpectral 3 Tesla MRI (MS3TMRI) can increase the yield of Trans Rectal Ultrasound Biopsy (TRUSBx) to improve identification of patients on active surveillance requiring treatment.

Detailed Description
This is a prospective single arm study. 120 patients at risk for significant occult prostate cancer on an active surveillance program will undergo MS3TMRI followed by a standard TRUSBx and additional biopsies guided by the MS3TMRI results. The positive predictive value (PPV) of MS3TMRI-TRUSBx for cancer requiring consideration of therapy will be compared to the PPV of TRUSBx alone. MS3TMRI consists of T2, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCEMRI), proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) interpreted by a radiologist and by CAD methods validated on whole mount prostate specimens.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of MS3TMRI-TRUSBx for detection of a patient with a cancer burden requiring consideration of immediate therapy. [The outcome measure will be evaluated at the time of the results of the TRUSbx which will be approximately 2 weeks after the biopsy]
Compare the targeted biopsy to the random biopsies
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The number of cores required for diagnosis of prostate cancer for MS3TMRI-TRUSBx versus TRUSBx alone [The outcome measure will be evaluated at the time of the results of the TRUSbx which will be approximately 2 weeks after the biopsy]
