Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of repeat transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy in prostatic cancer (PCA). Methods Repeat TRUS guided biopsy was conducted on 54 patients of the previous benign TRUS guided biopsy at high risk of PCA. Postatic specific antigen ranged in 0.5- 90.0 ?g/L(mean 16.3 ?g/L). Twenty-nine patients were abnormal in digital rectal examination, 21 patients were abnormal in TRUS. Results Forty-seven patients had 2 consecutive times of the biopsy, 6 patients had 3 consecutive times, 1 patient had 4 consecutive times in 54 patients of repeat TRUS guided biopsy. The pathological finding was confirmed in 14 PCA ( 25.9%), and 31 benign prostatic hyperplasia, 5 prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasmia, 4 chronic prostatitis. Conclusions The detection of PCA will be increased by repeat TRUS guided biopsy at high risk of PCA after the previous benign TRUS guided biopsy.
