[QUOTE="OMI100, post: 151881, member: 71"] Hmmm If the MRI finds NO areas of concern, then why do a procedure that is even less reliable than an MRI. There are risk associated with any biopsy, so why do one if all the indicators are negative? There is active surveillance where you watch your PSA way more frequently, and if it keeps rising you can do additional investigations. So basically he is telling you that they will do a TRUSS (my understanding a statistical sampling of random areas.... So if the sample is not from a area of cancer or precancer, it will come back negative) to validate the MRI finding??? Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
