Anterior localization of prostate cancer suspicious MRI lesions in patients undergoing initial and repeat biopsy: Results from 1,161 patients undergoing MRI/ultrasound fusion-guided targeted biopsies

Based on findings from transrectal ultrasound guided (TRUS) biopsies series, standard sampling of the prostate targets the posterior/peripheral zone. However, a substantial proportion of PCa suspicious MRI PI-RADS ≥3 lesions is located in the anterior segment of the prostate, requiring a deeper placement and targeting of the biopsy needle.
