Anterior Prostate Cancer Articles

The diagnosis of anterior prostate cancer (APC) is troublesome due to its anatomical location. Patients with an APC often require multiple sets of biopsies until diagnosis is made. The objective of this study is to examine if endorectal magnetic resonance imaging (e-MRI) of the prostate could improve the detection of APC.

Objective To describe a novel biopsy technique which involves performing a cognitively-directed transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) to diagnose suspected anterior prostate cancers (APC) detected by multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in patients with prior negative transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsies.
