Active Surveillance Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study (ASIST)

October 13, 2016 updated by: Canadian Urology Research Consortium
This is a multi-centre, prospective, randomized phase III trial to determine if multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can improve selection of patients eligible for active surveillance through better detection of clinically significant cancer.
