The Role of TURP in the Detection of Prostate Cancer in BPH Patients with Previously Negative Prostate Biopsy

Abstract

BPH patients in whom prostate cancer is suspected and who have lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) with a previously negative TRUS biopsy result can undergo TURP, which results in immediate improvement in bladder outlet obstruction and early diagnosis of clinically significant transition zone prostate cancer.
