Challenges in Prostate Biopsy

Mark J Ferretti, Jonathan Bloom

Abstract


Prostate cancer is a leading cause of death among US males.  Great advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.  Particularly Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) screening and the transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-BX) have been instrumental in achieving success in this field.  This mini-review analyzes challenges in regards to the prostate biopsy and diagnosis of prostate cancer.
