The main purpose of this study is to determine if Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), along with MRI targeted biopsy of suspicious lesions, is of value in detecting patients who would be likely to require treatment earlier.

Rate of Disease Progression Within the First Two Surveillance Biopsies
The rate of disease progression among participants within the first two surveillance biopsies will be reported. Progression refers to a repeat surveillance biopsy indicating any one of the following: 1. More than 4 positive cores involving any grade of cancer, 2. At least two core with Gleason 3+4 cancer, 3. Any single core with Gleason 4+3 cancer or higher, 4. A Gleason 3+3 at diagnosis that is upgraded to Gleason 3+4, or 5. Undergoing treatment, regardless of histological progression.
Time frame: 24 months
Time-to-Biochemical Recurrence (BCR)
Biochemical recurrence (BCR) is defined as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of 0.2 or higher on two or more separate measures after surgery or an increase of nadir + 2ng/ml or more after radiation. Time-to-BCR is defined as duration in days between date of treatment and date of BCR, if BCR occurs. The investigators will follow participants who have progressed and gone on to treatment.
Time frame: Up to 36 months
Health-Related Quality of Life Scores: EPIC SF-12
Health-Related Quality of Life will be assessed using scores from validated questionnaires. The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-12 (EPIC SF-12) will be used to evaluate patient function and satisfaction after prostate cancer treatment. Response options for each item form a Likert scale, and multi-item scale scores are transformed linearly to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores representing better HRQOL.
Time frame: Up to 36 months
Health-Related Quality of Life Scores: MAX-PC
Health-Related Quality of Life will be assessed using scores from validated questionnaires. The Memorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer (MAX-PC) will be used to measure anxiety from pre-treatment to post-treatment. The scale consists of 18 items (e.g. "I thought about prostate cancer even though I didn't mean to.") scored on a scale from 0 ("not at all") to 3 ("often"). Total scores range from 0 to 54, with higher scores indicating higher levels of anxiety.

Discriminative Performance of NCCN Risk and Clinical Markers for Predicting Progression on Active Surveillance
The investigators will assess the incremental benefit of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), genomic risk test, and molecular markers compared to baseline National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk classification for predicting progression on active surveillance. Area under the receiver operating characteristic Curve (ROC) curves produced from logistic regression modeling will be used to evaluate the performance of NCCN risk and other variables (MRI, genomic testing, and molecular markers) for predicting progression on surveillance. Participants will be categorized at baseline by NCCN risk class ranging from very low risk to intermediate risk; and into those who progressed while on the trial. Additionally, MRI results, PSA density, 4K score, and Decipher Score in combination with NCCN risk were analyzed to see their additive value on determining who will experience progression on active surveillance.
