Details and patient eligibility

About

This study is an expansion of the screening-by-invitation STHLM3MRI trial for detection of prostate cancer. In summary, we assess longterm outcomes (prostate cancer mortality, incidence and resource use) in men (i) invited and randomized to a screening program using PSA, a biomarker test and MRI; (ii) invited and randomized to a single PSA test with prostate biopsies followed by opportunistic testing and (iii) population controls. Mortality is verified through register data, disease verification is made through in-study biopsy results and registry data.

7,500 participants in 3 patient groups

Organized screening including repeat testing (MRI+biomarkers)
Experimental group
Description:
participants are offered prostate cancer screening. Interventions are (i) a paired PSA and Stockholm3 bloodtest; (ii) if elevated (PSA\>=3 \| Stockholm3\>=0.11), an MRI is offered. If MRI shows PI-RADS≥3, prostate biopsies are offered. Screenings are offered at year 0, year 2-3 (if original PSA≥1.5) and year 6
Treatment:
Diagnostic Test: PSA/Stockholm3/MRI
One-time invitation to testing arm (traditional biopsies)
Active Comparator group
Description:
participants are offered prostate cancer screening. interventions are a PSA bloodtest. If PSA≥3 ng/ml, a standard prostate biopsy is offered. No repeat screenings are offered.
Treatment:
Diagnostic Test: PSA
Population controls
No Intervention group
Description:
Population controls are identified through registers and followed in national outcome registers (Swedish Board of Health and Welfare)
