Description
Guided prostate biopsy pairs MRI targets with ultrasound in real time, and skill might seem decisive. Rouvier Al-Monajjed and co-authors test whether operator experience changes cancer detection in a 2025 study at a high-volume center.
Records covered 683 men biopsied between 2019 and 2024 under one standard protocol. Detection of any prostate cancer reached sixty-seven percent, and of significant cancer fifty-one percent, with no real gap between operators under and over one hundred procedures. Extra sampling by either route added similar amounts in both groups. The finger exam, by contrast, performed weakly for everyone. Inside a standardized, well-run program, the authors conclude, protocol matters more than the operator's case count.
