Brief summary: This randomized controlled trial aims to assess the detection rate of clinically significant and clinically insignificant cancer of mpMRI-targeted biopsy compared to transperineal standard biopsy in men with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer who had no prior prostate biopsy.

Detailed description: Prostate biopsy with multiple samples using a standardized template (standard biopsy, SB) under transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance is the current standard diagnostic approach in suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa). However, many biopsies are unnecessary or cannot detect clinically significant PCa (csPCa).

With the introduction of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate and the improvement for PCa detection and localization, an alternative procedure, known as MRI-targeted biopsy (TB), has been shown comparable or even higher detection rates of csPCa compared to TRUS-biopsy (SB).

This randomized controlled trial aims to assess the detection rate of clinically significant and clinically insignificant cancer of TB compared to SB (transperineal) in men referred with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer who have had no prior prostate biopsy.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Men more than 18 years old with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer;
2. Serum PSA ≤ 20 ng/ml within the previous 3 months;
3. Suspected stage ≤ T2 on rectal examination (organ-confined prostate cancer) within the previous 3 months;
4. No evidence of PSA increase by noncancerous factors, such as catheterization, bladder stones, or urinary tract infection including bacterial prostatitis;
5. mpMRI PI-RADS V2 score 4 or 5；
6. Able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prior prostate biopsy or prostate surgery;
2. Prior treatment for prostate cancer;
3. Contraindication to MRI (e.g. claustrophobia, pacemaker, estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤ 50mls/min);
4. Contraindication to prostate biopsy.
