What is a Prostate Biopsy?

A prostate biopsy is the removal of a small quantity of tissue through a needle placed into the prostate. The prostate is imaged using the ultrasound as a guide in conducting the biopsy

Why do you need a Prostate Biopsy?

Prostate disease can be assessed by a combination of methods:

  1. Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) by your doctor
  2. PSA levels – a blood test
  3. Ultrasound and biopsy

Points 1 and 2 may suggest significant disease. Biopsy is then carried out as the most sensitive method to look for cancer or inflammatory disease.
