Purpose We evaluated the utility of 10-, 12-, and 16-core prostate biopsies for detecting
prostate cancer (PCa) and correlated the results with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels …

Objective To determine what, if any, additional prognostic information is available from the
prostate needle biopsy by comparing the number of biopsy cores obtained with the …

Abstract Background: Using sextant biopsy, 16–41% of prostate cancers were diagnosed on
repeat biopsy. The objective of the present study was to compare the differences in the …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of extended 12-core prostate biopsy in improving the
detection rate of prostate cancer and increasing the accuracy of Gleason score. METHODS …

Background Recent studies have suggested that the standard systemic sextant biopsy
procedure used to confirm prostate cancer might miss a significant proportion (between 10 …

In this prospective, non-randomized phase-I clinical trial, we comparatively studied the
performance of six laterally-directed biopsies or the modified fan-shaped biopsies (MFSB) …

Study Type–Diagnostic (exploratory cohort) Level of Evidence 2b What's known on the
subject? and What does the study add? The widespread use of serum PSA testing followed …

This study was designed to compare the diagnostic yield of computerized transrectal
ultrasound (C-TRUS) guided biopsies in the detection of prostate cancer in a group of men …

Objectives. To investigate whether tumor volume, an important prognostic factor in prostate
cancer, could be estimated from the amount of cancer in multiple core biopsies. Methods. In …

No standard method exists for sampling prostate needle biopsies, although most reports
claim to embed 3 cores per block and obtain 3 slices from each block. This study was …
