TRUS-guided biopsy uses transrectal ultrasound imaging to guide sample collection from suspicious prostate areas. It is usually advised when PSA is high, prostate exam is abnormal, or imaging suggests concern.
- Confirms or rules out prostate malignancy with targeted tissue sampling
- Helps assess suspicious regions identified on clinical exam and imaging
- Pre-biopsy consultation, medication review, and guided sampling workflow
- Short observation with histopathology report-based follow-up planning
