The importance of prostate volume in prostate needle biopsy

摘要

Objective:Although ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy is the gold standard method in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, biopsy schemes and the number of repeated biopsies are still controversial today. It is known that the rate of prostate cancer decreases with increasing prostate volume. In this study, we evaluated the effects of prostate volume on cancer detection in our patient series.
