Abstract

Digitally-guided transrectal fine-needle aspiration biopsy was compared with ultrasound-guided transrectal core biopsy of the prostate gland. Both biopsy techniques were equally effective in detecting prostate cancer. Core biopsies were generally graded higher than fine-needle aspirations. the reproducibility was approximately 80% for both methods.
