Prostate Mapping for Cancer Diagnosis: The Madrid Protocol. Transperineal Prostate Biopsies Using Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging Fusion and Micro-Ultrasound Guided Biopsies

Abstract

This is the first study using a transperineal approach for micro-ultrasound guided biopsy and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging fusion biopsy. The results show a high accuracy for prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer diagnosis, without infectious complications. The proposed method should be validated in large randomized clinical trials.
