Prostate cancer diagnostics: innovative imaging in case of multiple negative biopsies

摘要

Objective According to international guidelines, a primary set of TRUS-guided systematic biopsy should consist of 10–12 tissue samples. If a clinical suspicion of a prostate carcinoma persists, a secondary biopsy session should also involve 10–12 samples. However, if there still is a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer is there a role for innovative imaging guided biopsies?
