New study weighs safer prostate biopsy methods
NCT ID NCT05763355
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two methods of taking prostate tissue samples to diagnose cancer: one through the rectum and one through the skin between the scrotum and anus. Researchers wanted to see which method causes fewer infections and less bleeding. 101 men with suspected prostate cancer took part, and the results help doctors choose the safer approach.
