Prostate cancer in males with negative findings of primary systematic biopsy: intermediate results of a prospective study
The paper presents an analysis of applying the techniques of repeated 24-point prostate biopsy with additional tissue sampling from areas suspicious for malignant involvement according to mp-MRI and TRUS findings in 161 patients with negative results of primary multifocal transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy. Our data demonstrate that the use of the techniques in this patient population with repeated systematic biopsy makes it possible to achieve a prostate cancer detection rate of 41.6%.
