PROSTATE CANCER DETECTION YIELD IN REPEATED BIOPSY IS INDEPENDENT OF THE DIAGNOSIS OF EARLIER BIOPSIES
Original language description
Background: We analyzed data gathered from initial and repeated prostate biopsies at the University Hospital in-Olomouc, Czech Republic. We evaluated the diagnostic yield of repeated transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsies.-We also assessed whetherthe result of the repeated biopsy depended on the benign diagnosis of the previous-biopsy. Methods: From June 2006 till December 2008, the total of 794 men underwent a TRUS guided biopsy. The following-parameters were recorded for each patient: age, total Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) level, free PSA level,-digital rectal examination record, total prostate volume, and the histo-pathological evaluation. For patients undergoing-a repeated biopsy, the histo-pathological result of the previous biopsy was also available, as well as the total number-of previous biopsies and the time since the last biopsy. These data were analyzed using standard statistical methods. Results: Initial biopsy was positive for prostate cancer in 157 out of 566
