Brief Summary   Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) has been the cornerstone of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis. As an extension of mpMRI, a novel and potentially transformative technique, MRI/TRUS fusion-guided biopsy, has recently emerged as an option for a more precise prostate biopsy. Considering the technical complexity due to implementation of robots, complex software, specific material and the longer intervention time as well as the expensive cost, MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy cannot be recommended for a routine application in all biopsy-naïve men with elevated PSA. We intend to study the additional role of mpMRI followed by MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy for PCa detection as compared to the systematic 12 core TRUS guided biopsy in biopsy-naïve men with elevated PSA and/or clinical suspicion of cancer by designing a prospective randomized study. The null hypothesize for this study is that there is no difference in terms of PCa detection between systematic 12 core TRUS guided biopsy and mpMRI followed by MRI-TRUS fusion in biopsy-naïve men with elevated PSA level of 4-11 ng/ml and/or clinical suspicion of cancer.
