The GÖTEBORG prostate cancer screening 2 trial: a prospective, randomised, population-based prostate cancer screening trial with prostate-specific antigen testing followed by magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate.

To describe the study design of the GÖTEBORG prostate cancer screening (PC) 2 (Göteborg-2), a prospective, randomised, population-based trial of PC screening. This trial evaluates whether prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing followed by 3 Tesla prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and targeted biopsy can reduce overdiagnosis, while maintaining the detection of clinically significant cancer, compared to PSA-screening and systematic biopsy. ⋯ The Göteborg-2 trial will provide new knowledge about the performance of prostate MRI in a screening setting.
