Strain Elastography-Targeted Biopsy: Does Prostate Volume Affect Prostate Cancer Detection?

CONCLUSIONS SE-guided TB has a higher detection rate of PCa in comparison with TRUS-guided SB. There was also a negative correlation between prostate volume and SE-guided TB. Therefore, use of SE-guided TB may complement use of conventional SB, especially for patients with smaller prostate volume. PMID: 31754091 [PubMed - in process]
