• COHORT 3

   2. If saturation biopsies (either trans-perineal or trans-rectal) are done 15% of the cores can be positive with a maximum of 4 (i.e. 26 cores 4 cores can be positive) (all other inclusion criteria still apply);
7. PSA density (PSA D) less than 0.2;
8. PSA-level at diagnosis ≤ 10 ng/mL;

3. Any of the PCa high risk features for Organ-Confined Disease (OCD):

   • Clinical T stage ≥ T2c;
   • Gleason Score ≥ 8;
   • Serum PSA > 20 ng/mL;

4. Any of the PCa high-risk features for Locally-Advanced Disease (LAD):

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
sensitivity of both 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and mp-3TMRI imaging	sensitivity of both 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and mp-3TMRI imaging will be calculated as the ratio between the number of positive cases at 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT or mp-3TMRI and number of patients who underwent to these exams	up to 36 months
specificity of both 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and mp-3TMRI imaging	specificity will be calculated considering negative cases at 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT or mp-3TMRI and number of patients who underwent to these exams	up to 36 months
Positive predictive value of both 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and mp-3TMRI imaging	Positive predictive value will be calculated considering the ratio between positive patient at 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT/mp-3TMRI confirmed as positive throughout biopsy and overall positive patient at 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT/mp-3TMRI	up to 36 months
negative predictive value of both 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and mp-3TMRI imaging	negative predictive value will be calculated considering the ratio between negative patient at 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT/mp-3TMRI confirmed as negative throughout biopsy and overall negative patient at 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT/mp-3TMRI	up to 36 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Incidence of adverse events	The number and percentage of treated patients undergoing grade 1 to 4 adverse events will be tabulated for each cohort and diagnostic procedure, using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03 should be used to assess and grade AE severity.	up to 30 days following study procedures
