Assessing the diagnostic performance of systematic freehand precisionpoint transperineal prostate biopsy: Comparison of observed outcomes to PBCG nomogram predictions

CONCLUSION: The fTPb technique is a promising method to sample the prostate which provides cancer detection that is comparable to that expected from systematic TRUS biopsy. We found that pre-biopsy mpMRI resulted in greater than expected detection of clinically significant cancer when utilizing this technique.PMID:34688533 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2021.08.029
