The Combination of PSMA-PET/MR and p2PSA in Early Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer

Overview

This is a single center prospective non-randomized controlled study.

The goal of this clinical trial is to figure out whether the combination of PSMA-PET/MR and PHI could add values to each method alone. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Compare the diagnostic value of the combination with each alone and set up a diagnostic model.
• Compare the diagnostic value of PSMA-PET/MR+PHI to mpMRI+PHI.
• Evaluate the diagnostic value the combination of PHI and PSMA-PET/MR in suspected PCA patients.

Patients will experience mpMRI or PSMA-PET/MR and their blood samples will be used to test PSA and p2PSA. Prostate biopsy will be the golden standard.
