This procedure?uses ultrasound and MRI scans to accurately take?a biopsy?sample?from the prostate gland, which can then be checked for cancer?and cancer staging.??

Who can have a Transperineal MRI fusion targeted prostate biopsy?

The procedure is most commonly carried out on men with suspected prostate cancer,?often following a raised PSA result. It can also be a useful?and accurate?test to find out if cancerous cells have changed,?if there is a pre-existing cancer.

What does a Transperineal MRI fusion targeted prostate biopsy involve?

During the procedure, your surgeon will?place an?ultrasound probe?into your bottom?allowing your surgeon to see your prostate. The surgeon will then layer an image previously taken via MRI?(magnetic resonance imaging)?over the live ultrasound?image,?enabling biopsy samples to be taken?accurately?from the?areas of the prostate gland that look abnormal.??

By using both the ultrasound and MRI scan together,?your surgeon can be more precise and targeted when collecting the biopsy. This?targeted approach?means that less samples need to be taken and you’re also less likely to experience side-effects compared with other techniques for collecting prostate biopsies.?Additional biopsies are also taken of other areas to double check the MRI has not missed anything.?

The procedure takes around?20-30?minutes,?of?which you will be under general?anaesthetic?or deep sedation.?The procedure can also be done under pure local?anaesthetic?as well if you choose.
