Biopsy

A prostate Biopsy is a procedure to remove samples of suspicious tissue from the prostate gland it self. A needle is used to collect a number of tissue samples from the prostate gland normally performed by an urologist, using ultrasound imaging. Tissue samples from the prostate biopsy are examined under a microscope for cell abnormalities that are a sign of cancer. If cancer is present, it is evaluated to determine how quickly its likely to progress and to determine the best treatment options.
