THE CHOICE OF METHOD OF PROSTATE BIOPSY
Introduction. Early diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) is relevant. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of different types of prostate biopsies in terms of verification of prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of biopsies of the prostate results in 80 men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. All patients were divided into 2 equal groups (40 people) on the basis of technical implementation prostate biopsy: transrectal and transperineal access. Results: Efficiency of transperineal biopsy of prostate during the verification of adenocarcinoma was significantly higher than the transrectal access (p <0,05). We attribute this fact with greater breadth capture anatomical areas (especially the apex) during the transperineal prostate access. Conclusions: the choice of a prostate biopsy access affect PSA levels, the presence of palpable tumor of the prostate, a zonal localization of prostate tumor.
