Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male participant, aged 40-85 years.
2. In good general health as evidenced by medical history.
3. Referred for a biopsy of the prostate for evaluation of prostate cancer due to elevated or increasing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or an abnormal digital rectal exam (DRE).
4. Participant must agree to forego testosterone supplementation during the duration of the study due to unknown impacts on prostate cancer biomarkers.

Exclusion Criteria:

4. Inability to undergo blood draw or biopsy of the prostate as per protocol.
5. Prior MRI guided biopsy of the prostate for prostate cancer evaluation.
6. Previous prostate biopsy or prostate procedure within 6 months of enrollment within the trial.
7. Standard contraindications to MRI, such as allergies to contrast die, renal toxicity, ferromagnetic metal in body/eye, pacemaker, defibrillator, other mechanical device, or extreme claustrophobia (medication with anti-anxiety agents, such as Ativan, may be attempted) will prevent eligibility and will be applied for all protocol-related MRIs.
