Summary

This study tests a special needle that uses light and sound to check prostate tissue during a standard biopsy. The goal is to see if it can reliably tell the difference between healthy and cancerous areas without taking extra samples. About 50 men scheduled for a prostate biopsy will take part. The main focus is on whether the device works well enough to measure tissue signals.
