Abstract

Background: Conventional biopsy fails to detect the presence of some prostate cancers(PCas). Repeatedly negative prostate biopsies in individuals with elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels can be frustrating for both the patient and the urologist. Magnetic resonance imaging targeted, transrectal ultrasound guided transperineal fusion biopsy has shown encouraging results for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer.

Objectives: This study was performed to determine the result of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion transperineal prostate biopsy and complication in patients with persistently elevated prostate specific antigen levels  and prior negative random transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy at Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital,Thailand.

Materials and Methods:  A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing medical records patients were  underwent Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) targeted, transrectal ultrasound guided transperineal fusion biopsy with persistently elevated prostate-specific antigen(PSA) levels  and prior negative random transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy during June 1st, 2022 to July 31th, 2024 in Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital.

Results: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion transperineal prostate biopsy can detected prostate cancer 9 in 27 patient(33%) with prior negative random transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy.

Conclusion: Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) fusion transperineal prostate biopsy can detect significant prostate cancer and small lesion with lower complication.
