Prostate biopsy
Prostate biopsy is a method to remove a sample from the suspicious tissue in the prostate. The prostate is a small walnut-like gland in men. This gland produces a liquid that is responsible for the nutrition and transfer of sperm. During a prostate biopsy, also called a special needle biopsy, a fine needle is used to collect a number of samples from the prostate gland. A prostate biopsy is performed by a urologist (a doctor who specializes in the urinary tract and male sexual organs). If initial results and tests such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), blood tests, or rectal exams suggest the possibility of prostate cancer, the urologist may suggest a prostate biopsy. Following a prostate biopsy, prostate tissue samples are examined microscopically for any cellular abnormalities that could be a sign of prostate cancer. If cancer is diagnosed, the rate of growth, proliferation and best treatment methods are determined. With this test, prostate cancer can be detected in the early stages before it spreads to other parts of the body, and with surgery and other treatments, this disease will be completely eradicated, and it will be a very valuable help for the patient and the surgeon.
