Title:
Optimization of Prostatic Biopsy: A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing the Sextant Biopsy with a 10-Core Biopsy
Abstract:
Objective: New prostatic biopsy protocols suggest to increase the core numbers to enhance detection. Additional cores are usually sampled from the lateral part of the p-zone. We direct the sextant biopsy to the most lateral part of the p-zone, therefore we investigated if there is a gain by adding 4 median biopsy cores. Material and Methods: The prospective randomized trial (n = 200) compared our modified sextant biopsy to a 10-core strategy with 2 additional median cores on both sides. Directed...     »
