Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Prostate needle biopsies are crucial for diagnosing prostate cancer.
  • Conventional transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies carry a significant risk of infection.
  • Rising antibiotic resistance necessitates exploring infection-reducing biopsy techniques.

Conclusions:

  • Transperineal prostate biopsy is a valuable alternative to transrectal biopsy.
  • It significantly mitigates infection risks, especially relevant with rising antibiotic resistance.
  • Further adoption of transperineal techniques is recommended for prostate cancer diagnosis.
