PURPOSE: We identified information critical for patient treatment on prostate needle
biopsies diagnosed with prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia or atypical foci suspicious for …

OBJECTIVE: To review and critically analyse all the recent literature on the detection and
characterisation of prostate cancer by means of extended and saturation protocols …

Purpose: A novel platform was developed that fuses pre-biopsy magnetic resonance
imaging with real-time transrectal ultrasound imaging to identify and biopsy lesions …

Purpose: Patients with negative transrectal ultrasound biopsies and a persistent clinical
suspicion are at risk for occult but significant prostate cancer. The ability of multiparametric …

Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy can miss 20–30% of clinically significant cancers. We
evaluate an alternative approach—transperineal template-guided map** biopsy (TTMB) …

Purpose: The detection of prostate cancer relies primarily on abnormal digital rectal
examination or increased serum prostate specific antigen concentration. However, low …

Transrectal ultrasound-guided systemic biopsy is the recommended method in most cases
with suspicion of prostate cancer. Transrectal periprostatic injection with a local anesthetic …

OBJECTIVES: We explored the yield of saturation biopsy and developed a nomogram
predicting the probability of prostate cancer (PCa) on the basis of saturation biopsy …

Purpose: We reported on the results of a sequential cohort study comparing office based
saturation prostate biopsy to traditional 10-core sampling as an initial biopsy. Materials and …

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate the diagnostic yield of a 21-sample ultrasound-
guided needle biopsy protocol as the initial diagnostic strategy for detection of prostate …
