The Incidence of Prostate Cancer in Men With Prostate Specific Antigen Greater Than 4.0 Ng/Ml:: A Randomized Study Of 6 Versus 12 Core Transperineal Prostate Biopsy

Abstract

The 12 core transperineal prostate biopsy is superior to 6 core biopsy. The technique provides optimal prostate cancer diagnosis. About half of the patients with PSA greater than 4.0 ng/ml and a slightly lower percent with PSA between 4.1 and 10 ng/ml have prostate cancer.
