Should we perform systematic biopsies in case of suspicious MRI for prostate cancer in 2020? A review of literature.

CONCLUSION: In the presence of a suspicious MRI lesion, SB is indicated in addition to TB but can be discussed in patients with previous negative biopsies. They are necessary if focal treatment is considered to aid surgical planning. Severe complications from biopsies do not seem to increase when SB are associated to TB, but rather with the number of biopsy series performed. PMID: 33189555 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
