Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is using artificial intelligence tools to improve the accuracy of prostate cancer diagnosis by combining MRI imaging, PSA blood tests, and other clinical data — with the goal of reducing unnecessary biopsies. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a male between 18 and 89 years old - Your PSA (a blood test for prostate health) is between 2 and 10 ng/mL, or slightly elevated with an abnormal rectal exam - You have never had a prostate biopsy before - You have a life expectancy of at least 10 years - You are generally healthy enough to function normally (ECOG performance status 0–2) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have taken a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor medication (like finasteride or dutasteride) within the past 12 months - You had a prostate infection in the past month - You have previously been treated for prostate cancer - You had a urological procedure in the past month - You have a contraindication to MRI scanning Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
