Cognitive Versus Image Guided Fusion Transrectal Prostatic Biopsy for the Detection of Prostate Cancer
The goal of this study is to compare two different prostate biopsy techniques used to detect prostate cancer. These techniques are cognitive-targeted biopsy (CTB) and magnetic resonance imaging-ultrasound fusion-targeted transrectal biopsy (FTB). Both methods aim to improve the accuracy of prostate cancer detection by targeting suspicious areas identified on prostate imaging. This study will compare how accurately each technique detects prostate cancer, the pathological findings obtained from each biopsy method, and how operator performance may influence the procedure. The information gained from this study may help improve prostate cancer diagnosis and guide future biopsy practices.
