   What is a prostate biopsy?

   • A prostate biopsy involves using a thin needle to take small samples of tissue from the prostate. The tissue is then looked at under a microscope to check for cancer. If cancer is found, the biopsy results will show how aggressive it is – in other words, how likely it is to spread outside the prostate. There are two main types of prostate biopsy:

   How is a prostate biopsy performed?

   • Following the administration of local anesthesia, a doctor will make a small skin incision between the anus and the scrotum. To extract tissue samples, they will insert the needle through the incision and direct the needle directly into the prostate. Alternatively, doctors may perform a transrectal prostate biopsy.

   How does a pathologist evaluate a prostate biopsy?

   • A doctor who specializes in diagnosing cancer and other tissue abnormalities (pathologist) will evaluate the prostate biopsy samples. The pathologist can tell if the tissue removed is cancerous and, if cancer is present, estimate how aggressive it is. Your doctor will explain the pathologist's findings to you.

   How long does a prostate biopsy take?

   • They usually take 10 to 12 small pieces of tissue from different areas of the prostate. But, if the doctor is using the images from your MRI scan to guide the needle, they may take fewer samples. The biopsy takes 5 to 10 minutes. After your biopsy, your doctor may ask you to wait until you've urinated before you go home.

   Will a prostate biopsy detect cancer?

   • The likelihood that a prostate biopsy will detect cancer depends greatly on the pre-biopsy profile of the person undergoing the procedure. If you have a high PSA score and/or suspicious changes to your prostate, a biopsy is more likely to detect cancer than if you have no significant risk factors or indications that you may have cancer.
