A randomised trial comparing two protocols for transrectal prostate repeat biopsy: six lateral posterior plus six anterior cores versus a standard posterior 12-core biopsy.
Conclusion: The biopsy protocol that included six end-fire anterior cores did not detect more cancer and was associated with more complications.
