Purpose: Several studies suggest that sextant transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy of the
prostate provides insufficient material to detect all clinically important prostate cancer, and …

Purpose: The standard sextant protocol for obtaining transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy of
the prostate has been shown to underestimate the presence of prostate cancer. Studies …

Purpose: We evaluated improvement in the rate of prostate cancer detection when using an
extensive biopsy protocol involving peripheral cores. Materials and Methods: We …

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of TRUS guided 10-core biopsy strategy for Turkish
patients who had biopsy of the prostate for the first time. Methods: Between February 2001 …

Purpose: In this study we assessed the relative yield of 10 core biopsy, and the whole range
of alternative 8 and 6 core biopsy protocols over that of the classic sextant biopsy protocol …

Purpose: An increasing number of studies suggest that 6-sector transrectal ultrasound
guided biopsy of the prostate provides insufficient material to detect all clinically important …

The widespread use of measurement of prostate-specific antigen for prostate cancer
screening has led to a dramatic increase in the number of transrectal biopsies. Although …

Purpose To determine whether the addition of four paramedian peripheral and four lateral
peripheral cores improves the cancer detection rate (CDR) of the extended 10-core biopsy …

Objective To investigate whether taking two transition zone (TZ) and four lateral peripheral
zone (PZ) biopsies in addition to routine parasaggital sextant biopsies would improve …

Objectives. Many men with negative prostate biopsies and persistently elevated serum total
prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) values will have cancer detected on a repeated biopsy. An …
