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 …

Study Type–Diagnostic (exploratory cohort) Level of Evidence 2b What's known on the
subject? and What does the study add? The main goal of a prostate biopsy is to identify …

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 …

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 …

Objectives To determine the effect of prostate volume on the diagnostic yield of prostate
biopsies. Materials and methods 155 consecutive patients underwent 12-core transrectal …

PURPOSE: We determined the impact of increasing the number of cores from 12 to 20 at
initial prostate biopsy in men suspicious of prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS …

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 …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the impact of additional biopsy cores on prostate cancer
diagnosis among US veterans. The reported rate of positive biopsy results varies from 20 …

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 …

Materials and methods We retrospectively analyzed pathology reports of 197 patients (2196
biopsy cores) undergoing initial transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy. A multivariate analysis …
