Comparative Study of MRI and TU in Identifying Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer Among Ethnic Groups
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
This study is designed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer, using histopathology (biopsy results) as the gold standard. Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity among men globally, and its detection often varies across ethnic groups due to genetic, environmental, and healthcare access factors. This research aims to evaluate how MRI and TRUS perform across diverse ethnic populations to determine the most reliable imaging modality for early diagnosis.
