Aspiration biopsy of the prostate

Summary Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the prostate was performed on 158 patients and compared to histological material. All patients had Tru-cut needle biopsies; 83 had subsequent prostatectomies, 82 transurethral, 1 suprapubic, and 1 patient had a cystoprostatectomy. Fine needle aspiration biopsies had a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 100%. Core biopsies were compared to prostatectomy histologies with a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 100%. Fine needle aspiration biopsy is an accurate and well-tolerated method of diagnosing carcinoma of the prostate gland.     

MRI-spectroscopy-guided prostate biopsy

Prostate cancer is currently one of the main causes of urological practice workload. Patients with negative prostate biopsies may pose serious problems to the urologist in the decision making process for follow-up due to the lack of definitive data in the follow-up algorithm. MRI spectroscopy seems to open a diagnostic window evaluating prostatic metabolic changes. The performance of perineal prostatic biopsy with stabilizer and template enables selective biopsy of the suspect voxels following the spectroscopic study, simulating the Rubick's cube.     

Systematic prostate biopsy before transurethral resection of the prostate

PURPOSE: With the aim of evaluating the clinical significance of systematic prostate biopsy before transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P), clinical data were reviewed retrospectively in patients who had underwent prostate biopsy prior to scheduled TUR-P. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between July, 1994 and June, 2000, TUR-P was scheduled in a total number of 456 patients with clinically diagnosed benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). RESULTS: In 218 (47.8%) out of 456 cases, prostatic biopsy was conducted prior to TUR-P due to abnormally elevated serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels of 4.0 ng/ml or more, revealing only 22 (10.1%) cases of prostatic cancer. Between these 22 cases with biopsy proven prostatic cancer and 189 cases with BPH confirmed both by biopsy and following TUR-P, statistically significant differences were noted in age (p < 0.05), prostate volume (p < 0.0001) and PSA density (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Considering the low positive rate of preoperative prostatic biopsy, it might be suggested that a considerable number of biopsy could be avoided in patients with clinically diagnosed BPH. Based on the results obtained from this study, prostatic biopsy might be unnecessary before TUR-P for those with prostate volume greater than 60 ml or PSA density less than 0.15.     

Aspiration biopsy of the prostate gland

Aspiration biopsy is a rapid and relatively painless technique for evaluating an abnormal prostate gland. It can be performed on outpatients without anesthesia and is easily tolerated. It sensitivity in detecting cancer is at least equivalent to that of core biopsies, in part because several areas of the prostate may be sampled in a relatively atraumatic fashion. Few complications are encountered. Adequate performance of aspiration biopsy of the prostate requires experience and diligence, both by the urologist, in obtaining adequate specimens, and by the processing laboratory and pathologist, in interpreting these specimens. It is hoped that aspiration biopsy will lead to the early diagnosis of prostatic cancer, effecting lower morbidity, reduced hospital cost, greater ease in performing radical prostatectomy, and more accurate techniques for predicting the prognosis in affected patients.     

Clinical interpretation of the prostate biopsy

Pathologic evaluation of the prostate biopsy provides the clinician with a wealth of information. Identifying needle biopsy parameters predictive of pathological stage and tumor volume at radical prostatectomy has become a major focus in the field of prostate pathology. From a review of the literature, the following factors are strongly predictive of extraprostatic disease; tumor involvement of greater than 25%, greater than two positive cores, cancer involvement greater than 3 mm, and perineural invasion. Such information could prove useful in patient counseling and identifying high-risk patients who may be good candidates for adjuvant therapy trials.     

Thin-needle aspiration biopsy of the prostate

The authors summarize the current status of thin-needle aspiration biopsy of the prostate and evaluate the accomplishments and limitations of this method of diagnosis. Historical developments, indications, technique, contraindications, complications, cytology of aspirates, diagnostic efficacy of aspirates, and grading of prostatic carcinomas are discussed.     

模板定位下经会阴前列腺穿刺活检在经直肠途径初次活检阴性患者检查中的应用

Aspiration biopsy of prostate

Needle biopsy of the prostate has been widely practiced for more than twenty-five years, whereas transrectal aspiration biopsy, first described fifty years ago, has not. We describe our experience using the transrectal aspiration biopsy and correlate the results with histologic studies of the prostate obtained by conventional needle biopsy and surgical specimens. Aspiration needle biopsy of the prostate has a high degree of diagnostic accuracy, it causes minimal inconvenience and discomfort, the results are rapidly available, the ease of entering the suspected area in the prostate is more precise than with conventional needle biopsy, and sampling of prostate can be greater. The disadvantages of aspiration biopsy are that the technique, being unfamiliar to most urologists, must be learned and requires an experienced cytologist for interpretation. Cytologic evaluation by aspiration biopsy and the histologic diagnosis by conventional needle biopsy are complementary.     

Defining prostate cancer risk before prostate biopsy

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. At present, patients are selected for prostate biopsy on the basis of age, serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), and prostatic digital rectal examination (DRE) findings. However, due to limitations in the use of PSA and DRE, many patients undergo unnecessary prostate biopsy. A further problem arises as many patients are diagnosed and treated for indolent disease. This review of the literature highlights the strengths and weaknesses of existing methods of prebiopsy risk stratification and evaluates promising serum, urine, and radiologic prostate cancer biomarkers, which may improve risk stratification for prostate biopsy in the future.     

Symphysitis following transrectal biopsy of the prostate

Transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of the prostate is a widely accepted technique to obtain prostatic tissue for histological examination. Severe complications are rarely seen. We report a case of symphysitis causing hospitalization and severe pain and discomfort of the patient. Possible etiologic factors are traumatic osseous lesions and transport of rectal bacteria to the periosseous region. Especially in small prostates, care should be taken to avoid this condition. Prolonged perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is mandatory.
