Abstract

There is a distinct need for clinical improvements to the pipeline for prostate detection. The aim of the STHLM3 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study is to provide evidence of an improved and structured multistep pipeline for prostate cancer detection using the bloodbased Stockholm 3 test and MRI to achieve better specificity and reduce the risk of overdiagnosis.
