A Novel Technique Using Three-Dimensionally Documented Biopsy Mapping Allows Precise Re-Visiting of Prostate Cancer Foci With Serial Surveillance of Cell Cycle Progression Gene Panel

摘要

BackgroundConventional systematic biopsy has the shortcoming of sampling error and reveals no evidence of cancer with a rate of >50% on active surveillance (AS). The objective of this study is to report our initial experience of applying a 3D-documented biopsy-mapping technology to precisely re-visit geographically documented low-risk prostate cancer and to perform serial analysis of cell-cycle-progression (CCP) gene-panel.
