Summary

This trial will compare the rate of infection and other complications after in-office transperineal MRI targeted prostate biopsy to the standard transrectal MRI targeted prostate biopsy.

Who is the study for?
Men with concerns of prostate cancer, having had a negative biopsy within the last 3 years or history of low-grade prostate cancer diagnosed in the past 2 years are eligible. They must be able to undergo local anesthesia and MRI unless they have acute prostatitis, prior cancer treatments like radiation, contraindications to MRI, or active infections treated with antibiotics.
What is being tested?
This study compares two types of prostate biopsies: transperineal (through the skin) and transrectal (through the rectum), both guided by MRI. The goal is to see if the transperineal approach reduces infection risk while still being comfortable and effective at detecting cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include discomfort or pain from the biopsy procedure itself and risks associated with local anesthesia. There's also a chance of infection post-biopsy which this trial aims to minimize.
