Does Core Length Taken per cc of Prostate Volume in Prostate Biopsy Affect the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer?

What Should Be the Prostate Specific Antigen Threshold for Prostate Biopsy?

“…In our previous study, we identified that cancer detection rates increased when the number of core taken was increased depending on prostate volume. Therefore, we performed 12-16 core biopsies depending on prostate volume (6). Each biopsy core was taken into specimen tubes containing formaldehyde and separately labeled to identify the location and sent for pathological assessment.…”
