Published on: March 21, 2025

  • Transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy, with minimal 10 cores, is standard.
  • Both transrectal and transperineal approaches show high detection rates and low side effects.
  • Local anesthesia refinement allows more biopsies with fewer complications.

Conclusions:

  • Extended biopsy schemes are recommended for initial diagnosis.
  • Saturation biopsies are reserved for repeat procedures, potentially aided by imaging.
  • Histological findings and core parameters remain crucial for patient prognosis.
