This study introduces an ultrasound-guided method for prostate biopsies using specific equipment. The technique proved to be an accurate and effective approach for diagnosing prostate cancer histologically.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Prostate biopsies are crucial for diagnosing prostate cancer.
  • Accurate and minimally invasive biopsy techniques are essential for effective cancer detection.
  • Ultrasound guidance offers potential for improved precision in prostatic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel method for performing ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies.
  • To assess the accuracy and ease of use of this combined equipment for histological diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a longitudinal real-time transrectal ultrasound scanner (Bruel & Kjaer 8537 7 MHz Sector Scan).
  • Employed an attachable puncture guide (Bruel & Kjaer UA 0875).
  • Used the Biopty-Cut apparatus (Radioplast) for tissue sampling.

Main Results:

  • The combined equipment facilitated easy performance of prostatic biopsies under ultrasonic guidance.
  • The method demonstrated high accuracy in obtaining tissue for histological diagnosis.
  • Evaluated in a cohort of 75 patients.

Conclusions:

  • The described ultrasound-guided biopsy technique is an elegant and accurate method.
  • This approach is effective for the histological diagnosis of prostate cancer.
  • The combination of specific ultrasound and biopsy equipment simplifies the procedure.
