New biopsy method aims to reduce prostate cancer diagnosis complications
NCT ID NCT02651948
Summary
This study compared two different methods of performing prostate biopsies guided by MRI imaging. Researchers wanted to see if a new approach through the perineum (skin between scrotum and anus) causes fewer complications and hospital readmissions than the standard approach through the rectum. The study involved 90 men aged 40-80 with suspected prostate cancer who had previous negative biopsies but concerning MRI findings.
