Description
Michael Jakun Koo and nine co-authors evaluate a thorough mapping biopsy for prostate cancer patients, either on active surveillance or with a previous negative biopsy. Active surveillance means monitoring a low-risk cancer instead of treating it at once. The mapping biopsy samples the prostate through a template grid.
The study reviewed more than three hundred patients treated over six years. Among surveillance patients, more than eight in ten safely stayed on surveillance for about three years. Some moved to radical treatment after imaging and targeted biopsy raised concern. A smaller share converted after follow-up biopsies or even with no extra biopsy. In the previously negative group, only a small fraction were later found to have cancer. The authors conclude the mapping approach selects and confirms patients well.
