First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested a new way to take prostate biopsies using MRI guidance through the perineum (the area between the scrotum and anus) instead of the usual method through the rectum. The goal was to see if this approach causes fewer complications and hospital readmissions, and if patients tolerate it better. The study included 90 men aged 40-80 with suspected prostate cancer or on active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer.
