Screening for Prostate Cancer Among Those Prostate-specific Antigen Value Between 2.5 and 4.0 ng/mL

Not Applicable
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: mpMRI scanning
Registration Number
NCT04317625
Lead Sponsor
The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School
Brief Summary

The study aims to evaluate the detection rate and characteristics of prostate cancer among males with PSA values between 2.5 and 4.0 ng/mL in Nanjing, meanwhile, to access the effectiveness of conducting multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) after PSA assay.

Detailed Description

The investigators are going to collect serum samples and clinical information from men aged ≥50 years in community health service centers in Nanjing. The investigators will propose mpMRI for those met our criteria of PSA values between 2.5 and 4.0 ng/ml. Transperineal systematic biopsy and MRI/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy will be offered for those who scored ≥3 points on the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System Version 2 (PI-RADS v2). Follow-up examinations annually will be offered for those with a PI-RADS score \<3. Sequences obtained while conducting mpMRI included T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and dynamic contrast-enhanced using a 3.0-T system.
