Two-thirds of men with a positive screening MRI for prostate cancer had PSA levels below 3 ng/mL, according to a recently published study. The study emphasized the role of MRI in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in men with normal PSA levels. The researchers found that 91% of men with positive MRIs had clinically significant prostate cancer. The study authors noted that using MRI to detect cancers can allow for early detection before PSA levels rise. Additionally, the study found that PSA density was higher in Black and Asian men compared to other participants. Overall, the study highlights the potential of MRI in improving prostate cancer detection in men with normal PSA levels.
