AB - Prostate cancer (PCa) screening using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) thresholding and systematic biopsies reduces advanced disease presentations and cancer-specific mortality, but also leads to overdiagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) integration may maintain screening benefits, while reducing overdiagnosis and unnecessary biopsies. This review analyses the benefit-harm balance when MRI is integrated as first-line and second-stage (after PSA >3 ng/ml) test in PCa screening.Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines, we performed a PROSPERO-registered systematic review (CRD420251006926). Literature searches identified five first-line and four second-stage MRI screening studies. We assessed MRI strategies (first-line/second-stage and risk thresholds), biopsy avoidance, and biopsy methods (targeted/systematic) for histological outcomes (grade group [GG] ≥2/GG 1 cancer detection and benign biopsies). Benefit-to-harm ratios of >1 suggest a positive net benefit.First-line MRI screening detects twice as many men with GG ≥2 cancer as second-stage MRI screening but has more MRI-negative men (range, 66-89
