Prostate Cancer Screening Prostate Cancer | Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Procedure: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test | Not Applicable |
ReIMAGINE Prostate cancer screening is a single site screening study to assess the feasibility of MRI as a screening tool for prostate care and determine the prevalence of MRI defined suspicious lesions and cancer in men across a spectrum of PSA results.
Men with no previous prostate cancer diagnosis, but deemed suitable based on age will be identified through general practitioner (GP) practices who will act as participant identification centres (PIC's). Potential participants will be identified through screening of existing patient databases at multiple London GP surgeries participating in the study, and randomly selected for invitation. The ReIMAGINE study team will link with London cancer networks and Noclor research support (https://www.noclor.nhs.uk/) who will make first contact with potentially eligible men.
A personalised invitation letter from each man's own GP will be sent to him. Invitation letters will be sent in batches so to limit the time between the invitation and their study visit. Batched invitations will be prepared using an iterative process so to allow the study team to assess uptake rates and limit the gap between invitation and study visits.
Invitation letters will include contact details for the ReIMAGINE study team who will coordinate bookings for research visits for all responders.
All consented men will have a blood test for PSA and a screening MRI scan. This will take a maximum of 20 minutes, and will include T2, diffusion and research specific sequences.
Two radiologists will report the MRI blinded to the PSA result, with a third reviewer when there is disagreement between reporters. Men in whom a suspicious lesion is seen (MRI screen positive) or who have a suspicious PSA density (>0.12ng/ml) will be recommended to have an National Health Service (NHS) referral for suspected prostate cancer as per National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.
Screen negative men will at this point exit the study. Screen positive men will be followed up to gather data from any investigations (mpMRI +/- prostate biopsy) that may occur as a result of the NHS referral. No formal visits will be required to collect this data. Participant consent will be sought to approach GP or other secondary care centre.
