Transperineal Prostate Biopsy Is the New Black: What Are the Next Targets?

Louis Lenfant et al. Eur Urol. 2022 Jul.

Abstract

Transperineal biopsy is recommended as the first-choice technique for diagnosis of prostate cancer owing to lower rates of postprocedural sepsis. However, unresolved issues such as biopsy quality, lack of a systematic biopsy template, cost-effectiveness, and the risk of acute urine retention are yet to be resolved by the urological community.

Keywords: Prostate biopsy; Prostate neoplasm; Targeted biopsy; Transperineal biopsy.
