Because prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the positive biopsy rate is approximately 30%, the prostate biopsy is one of the most common procedures a urologist will perform. Although, most urologists are facile at performing the prostate biopsy, new information has been obtained...
A subgroup analysis was performed on the trial's placebo cohort to assess the predictive value of PSA levels [less than or equal to]4.0 ng/ml. Men from the placebo group whose PSA had never exceeded 4.0 ng/ml, who had never previously undergone a prostate biopsy or transurethral prostate ...
prostate biopsyProstate cancer increases with each decade of life. Eight percent of men have invasive prostate cancer in their 20s; 80% of men have invasive prostate cancer in their 70s. Prostate cancer is easily cured and the actual death rate is very low. The common development of prostate ...
Unlike noninvasive MRI, prostate ultrasound imaging is done by inserting a lubricated ultrasound wand into the rectum. This type of biopsy is calledTransrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy. Because ultrasound can’t reveal the tumor, the doctor can’t “see” what he’s looking for. Aiming ...

930 consecutive patients with suspected prostatic cancer were followed up after biopsy. Warfarin/low-dose aspirin was not stopped prior to the procedure. An eight to 10 sample regime TRUS-guided prostate biopsy was performed and patients were offered a questionnaire to complete 10 days after the ...
"I think generally starting at age 50 is a very reasonable number to start getting a PSA. But if you are African American or have a significant family history of prostate cancer or have agenetic alterationthat might predispose to prostate cancer, then you should probably get one even earlier...

Clinical studies, such as BARCODE13 have been launched, whereby men with a prostate cancer PRS in the top decile of risk undergo prostate imaging and biopsy. While PRS testing to risk-stratify screening is highly seductive, there have been concerns. These have largely focused on the questionable...
