Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific titleThe effect of magnetic resonance imaging localisation of prostate cancer on transrectal ultrasound biopsy detection rate
Study objectivesTo investigate whether localisation information from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to improve the accuracy of trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy and thereby improve the detection rate of prostate cancer.

Target sample size at registration122
Key inclusion criteriaAll patients who are to have a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy (on a Thursday) to confirm prostate cancer, with an intermediate PSA level (10-19 ng/ml), will be eligible for entry to the study. On average 8 patients undergo TRUS biopsy at Cookridge Hospital per week (divided between Tuesday and Thursday morning sessions). One MRI slot per week (Thursday morning) will be available for the study. All consenting patients will be randomised and one selected for the MRI cohort and all others will form the non-MRI cohort. Assuming at least 2 patients are recruited a week (50%) recruitment rate) the two cohorts (61 patients in each) will be recruited in 61 weeks.
Key exclusion criteria1. Unwilling/unable to give informed consent
2. Significant claustrophobia
3. Contra indications to MRI: pacemaker, aneurysm clips, metallic foreign bodies in the eye
