Summary
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may help find prostate cancer and learn the extent of disease.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the safety of MRI and to see how well it works in diagnosing prostate cancer.

Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the ability of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) to identify men who can safely avoid unnecessary biopsy.
- To assess the ability of the MP-MRI-based diagnostic pathway to improve the rate of detection of clinically significant cancer as compared to transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy.
- To estimate the cost-effectiveness of an MP-MRI based diagnostic pathway.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients undergo multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted MRI, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI) followed by template prostate mapping and transrectal ultrasound biopsy.
Some patients may undergo blood, urine, and tissue sample collection periodically for biomarker studies. Samples are banked for future research analysis.
Patients complete a quality-of-life questionnaire (EQ-5D) at baseline, during, and after completion of study. An economic analysis will be performed for cost-effectiveness.
After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up periodically.
