Comparison of New SUREcore Biopsy of Needle to Standard of Care During Transperineal Prostate Biopsies
Conditions: Prostate Cancer
Sex: Male
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 50
Sponsor: University of California, Davis
Location: UC Davis Departments of Urologic Oncology Sacramento California
Summary
To study a novel biopsy needle system for performing transperineal prostate biopsy. Prostate biopsy remains the standard approach for prostate cancer detection. While pre-biopsy MRI allows for targeting of visible lesions, systemic or 'off target' samples are recommended due to the well-recognized risk of undegrading and under sampling with current commercially available needles. The SureCore plus single-use biopsy needle produces a more intact tissue core with a same caliber 18g needle with \~21% more tissue per core in pre-clinical studies. This research study will determine if a new biopsy needle designed to produce more robust tissue cores per sample can improve detection and characterization of prostate cancer.
