Overview
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the efficacy to diagnose significant prostate cancer in patients with suspicious lesions in mpMRI (multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging) by comparing prostate biopsies performed by cognitive fusion with respect to those performed with software fusion (BK-fusion®). Half of the patients included will undergo a systematic prostate biopsy + target biopsies by cognitive fusion and the other half of the population, will undergo a systematic prostate biopsy + target biopsies by software fusion.
Detailed Description
Various techniques have been developed to perform targeted prostate biopsies aimed at suspicious lesions detected in mpMRI. The two most frequently used are cognitive fusion, in which the physician locates the areas where the mpMRI detects suspicious lesions and directs the puncture by ultrasound; and software fusion, in which the images of the mpMRI are integrated by a software with the ultrasound allowing to direct the puncture to the lesion itself. Both forms of fusion biopsy have proven to be superior to systematized prostate biopsies in the detection of significant prostate cancer, although neither has demonstrated superiority over the other.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Rate of overall prostate cancer and significant prostate cancer between the groups
Time Frame: 2 years
Differences in percentage of detection of overall prostate cancer and prostate cancer ISUP equal or greater than 2 between both groups will be assessed.
Secondary Outcomes

- Rate of overall prostate cancer and significant prostate cancer between the groups according to the location of the lesions.(2 years)
- Rate of overall prostate cancer and significant prostate cancer between the groups according to the size of the lesions.(2 years)
