Local anesthetic transperineal (LATP) biopsy for prostate cancer detection is gaining in popularity due to concerns about infectious complications with transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy. LATP ...

The technique, called transperineal prostate biopsy, collects prostate tissue via a needle through the skin of the perineum, the area between the rectum and the scrotum. The procedure, which uses ...

A prostate biopsy checks for prostate cancer by extracting tissue samples. A transperineal biopsy has a lower infection risk than a transrectal biopsy. Biopsy results are usually ready within about ...

New evidence compares micro-ultrasound and MRI fusion biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. Find out ...

Dr. Hu noted that the investigators used a personalized approach to prophylactic antibiotics in the patients undergoing the transrectal biopsy procedure. Rather than giving the men a broad-spectrum ...

Robotic-assisted transperineal fusion biopsy led to relatively low rates of prostate cancer upgrading and downgrading in a ...

Patient-adjusted nitrous oxide (N 2 O), commonly called laughing gas, did not reduce anxiety associated with transrectal prostate biopsy but significantly reduced pain as compared with standard ...

A transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate may also be called a prostate sonogram or endorectal ultrasound. A doctor usually performs a TRUS to help diagnose prostate cancer or detect prostate ...

A Yale-led study examines the potential environmental benefits of more carefully selecting patients for prostate biopsy in a way that can also spare low-yield and potentially harmful procedures. Yale ...
