biopsies. Materials and methods 155 consecutive patients underwent 12-core transrectal …

PURPOSE: Early diagnosis of prostate carcinoma has undergone significant evolution
mainly due to the widespread use of serum prostate specific antigen, transrectal …

Purpose: We investigated the relationship between prostate volume and cancer detection by
needle biopsy, and determined the effect of an increased number of cores on the sampling …

Objective: Although ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy is the gold standard method
in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, biopsy schemes and the number of repeated biopsies …

Purpose To evaluate if volume or any of the three dimensions of prostate influences cancer
detection rate by 12-core transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy. Materials …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of 2 more core prostate biopsy protocol in
detecting the prostate cancer (PCa) by comparing 10-core prostate biopsy with 12-core …

Methods: We included 1120 patients with prostate-specific antigen levels≤ 20 ng/mL and/or
suspicious digital rectal examination findings in this study. All patients had a first-time …

OBJECTIVES: Data have suggested benign prostatic hyperplasia, and not cancer, as the
major reason for elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values between 2.0 and 9.0 …

Introduction: To increase the detection rate of prostate cancer in recent years, we examined
the increase in the number of cores taken at initial prostate biopsy. We hypothesized that an …

OBJECTIVES: To assess the influence of prostate volume on prostate cancer (CaP)
detection in men who underwent repeated sextant transrectal ultrasound biopsy of the …
