[QUOTE="markusbdc, post: 237255, member: 13929"] I would avoid the prostate biopsy as they have to go through the wall of the rectum typically for anywhere from 14 to 20 core samples. This can introduce infection and contamination and men have died after having this done due to sepsis. You might be better off getting a multi parametric MRI of the prostate with contrast this will give you a PiRads score and based on this you could determine whether an actual biopsy would be needed. The PiRads score has about a 90 some percent correlation with actual microscopic cell biopsy from core samples. If indeed you do have to have a biopsy done after the multi parametric MRI then you should find a provider who utilizes the Perineologic system which can go in with two entrance punctures on each side of the midline perineum rather than going through the rectum this is much easier to sterilize and Carrie’s much less chance for infection being introduced through the rectum like a traditional transrectal biopsy.
