Key Points

To provide robust comparative data to enhance active surveillance protocols for prostate monitoring.
Conducted a randomised controlled trial comparing MRI scans with standard care
Performed regular imaging assessments
Evaluated differences in surveillance outcomes
Found significant advantages of MRI scans over standard care in detecting changes
Demonstrated improved monitoring strategies for better patient management

Implication

Randomised controlled trial compares outcomes of regular MRI scans and standard care in active surveillance protocols, suggesting improvements in practice.

Abstract

IP9-ATLAS aims to provide robust level 1 comparative data to improve active surveillance protocols and change practice.
