Details and patient eligibility

About

Objectives: To establish if there are differences between an ultrasound-guided transrectal prostate biopsy (BPTE) and a transperineal prostatic biopsy (BPTP) with and without a multiparametric Magnetic Resonance (RMmp) in patients with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer (PC) to first prostatic biopsy in terms of:

  1. Rate of detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer.
  2. Aggressiveness of the detected tumors.
  3. Association of the marker [-2] proPSA and the prostate cancer health index (PHI) and microRNAs for the diagnosis of tumors.
  4. Adverse effects of the intervention and subjective perception of the patient: pain and degree of satisfaction, and impairment of quality of life.
  5. Cost-effectiveness analysis of the different intervention options.

Study Design: Randomized, single-blind prospective clinical study to compare four schemes: RMmp + BPTE vs. BPTE 12 cylinders vs RMmp + BPTP vs BPTP 12 cylinders.

Study population: Patients with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer with PSA between 3-20 ng / mL and normal or abnormal rectal examination, candidates for a first prostate biopsy.

Research techniques: BPTE standard of 12 cylinders compared to RMmp previous to BPTE vs BPTP of 12 cylinders compared to BPTP with previous RMmp.
