Summary
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound-guided biopsy, may help find prostate
cancer. Dutasteride may improve the ability of ultrasound-guided biopsy to find prostate
cancer. It is not yet known whether dutasteride followed by ultrasound-guided biopsy is more
effective than a placebo followed by ultrasound-guided biopsy in finding prostate cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying dutasteride and ultrasound-guided biopsy
to see how well they find prostate cancer compared with a placebo and ultrasound-guided
biopsy.

Phase 3
