Transperineal prostate biopsy detects significant cancer in patients with elevated prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) levels and previous negative transrectal biopsies

Abstract

Transperineal biopsy of the prostate in patients with an elevated PSA level after negative transrectal prostate biopsies appears to be a feasible and important option for further investigation to detect prostate cancer. The present study shows that the transperineal biopsy allows good access of the anterior/ventral part of the prostate. Histopathology reports on the RP specimens obtained from the patients that underwent RP revealed significant cancer.
