Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Prostate Cancer
- Interventions
- Procedure: prostate biopsy
- Registration Number
- NCT00992615
- Lead Sponsor
- Poitiers University Hospital
- Brief Summary
The optimal number of prostate cores extracted during a prostate biopsy performed because of a suspected prostate cancer is still debated. The present consensus is to sample 12 cores. However, recent data published in the literature brought arguments in favour of a higher number, probably 20. This would have the advantages of decreasing the false negatives and the re-biopsy rate.
