Summary

This study tests a new infrared fluorescence staining technique that could help doctors diagnose prostate cancer faster during a biopsy. The method is compared to the standard frozen section analysis and the gold-standard paraffin section. If successful, it may offer a quicker, more accurate way to identify cancer cells in prostate tissue samples.
