Diagnostic Performance of Initial Transperineal Template-guided Mapping Biopsy of the Prostate Gland

Abstract

TTMB appears to provide more detailed information about prostate cancer grade and location compared with standard 12-core biopsy scheme. This information may serve as a baseline reference for image-guided biopsy (ie, magnetic resonance imaging) regimens, may facilitate clinical decision making and aid in the appropriate selection of patients for active surveillance.
