影像引导下前列腺定向穿刺活检术的研究进展.

Undoubtedly, pathological findings is the golden standard for diagnosing prostate cancer. As we all know, targeted prostate biopsy under the guidance of image-guiding is the most efficient and the most convenient. Nevertheless,based on prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening and sextant biopsy, has been criticized for both overdiagnosis of low-grade tumors and underdiagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancers (Gleason score ≥7). So on viewing vertically of both national and abroad, image guidance has been added to perform targeted biopsies of lesions detected on multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) scans, including in-boreMRI-guided, cognitive fusion, andMRI/transrectal ultrasound fusion-guided biopsy. This review will examine advances in these image-guided targeted prostate biopsy techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
