Prospective Evaluation of Prostate Cancer Detected on Biopsies 1, 2, 3 and 4: When Should We Stop?

Abstract: Despite differences in location and multifocality, pathological and biochemical features of cancer detected on biopsies 1 and 2 were similar, suggesting comparable biological behaviors. Cancer detected on biopsies 3 and 4 had a lower grade, stage and volume compared with that on biopsies 1 and 2. Morbidity on biopsies 1 and 2 was similar, whereas biopsies 3 and 4 had a slightly higher complication rate. Therefore, biopsy 2 in all cases of a negative finding on biopsy 1 appears justified. However, biopsies 3 an… Show more

“…In men with an earlier negative biopsy, standard TRUS re-biopsy has a low rate of cancer detection with yields of 10-20% for the second biopsy, [14][15][16] and below 10% for subsequent biopsies. 14,16 This has led to increased use for repeat biopsies of a saturation approach sampling 18 to 50 or more cores.…”

“…2 Moreover in patients with persistently increased PSA and negative PB, the repetition of biopsies does not increase the detection rate of PCa, which indeed decreases progressively. 3 Because of the additional number of samples there is a significant risk of complications (infection, bleeding, acute urinary retention), anxiety and social-sanitary costs. 4 Recently various biomarkers have been studied to increase the ability to predict PCa diagnosis, especially in patients with persistent suspicion of cancer and a previous negative PB.…”

“…Additionally, the probability of having a positive biopsy decreases with each subsequent biopsy. 5 Thus, it is important to define who is at greatest risk of having prostate cancer on repeat biopsy.…”
