Less invasive, more precise methods are now available

Men want to know with certainty if they have it or not.

If they do have it, they want to know exactly how aggressive it is, to decide the right treatment for them.

Once the possibility of the “c” word has been raised for a man, getting an answer quickly can remove much of the unknown stress surrounding this.

Prostate cancer is common but not all cancer needs invasive treatment.

Accurately assess prostate to identify any abnormalities prior to invasive biopsy.

Allows targeting of abnormalities rather then traditional blind random TRUS biopsy

Potentially avoid invasive biopsy if no abnormalities found and other tests do not highlight risk.

Requires expert specialist radiologists and an integrated team to ensure correctly utilised.

Precise targeted biopsy of all areas of the prostate, particularly some areas often missed with other biopsy techniques

Performed as a short day stay procedure under General or Local Anaesthetic to avoid the discomfort of a local procedure

Transperineal (through the skin) Avoids faecal contamination from the back passage with extremely low rates of infection

Biopsy results accurately reflect the aggressiveness of cancer found on final diagnosis

Negative biopsy result combined with MRI gives great certainty of knowing no significant cancer is present
