Official title
A Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing Office-based MR-guided Prostate Biopsy Approaches: Transrectal Ultrasound-guided Biopsy Compared With a Transperineal Approach
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This randomized trial will compare the safety and efficacy of TPM versus TRUS biopsies performed in the outpatient setting. Primary endpoints will be pain as well as detection of clinically significant disease (defined as Gleason Score \>=7 or cancer core length \>=6 mm). Secondary endpoints will be detection of any prostate cancer, hospital re-admissions within 30 days, aborted procedures due to discomfort, procedure time, adverse events including hematuria, urinary retention, hematospermia, hematochezia, and infection, and patient-reported outcomes as measured on validated instruments such as International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). In men who subsequently elect to undergo radical prostatectomy for definitive treatment of their prostate cancer, Gleason scores at final pathology will be correlated to the Gleason scores obtained at time of biopsy.
