Description

Summary

To study a novel biopsy needle system for performing transperineal prostate biopsy. Prostate biopsy remains the standard approach for prostate cancer detection. While pre-biopsy MRI allows for targeting of visible lesions, systemic or 'off target' samples are recommended due to the well-recognized risk of undegrading and under sampling with current commercially available needles. The SureCore plus single-use biopsy needle produces a more intact tissue core with a same caliber 18g needle with ~21% more tissue per core in pre-clinical studies. This research study will determine if a new biopsy needle designed to produce more robust tissue cores per sample can improve detection and characterization of prostate cancer.
