Prostate Biopsy: Understand When It Is Necessary
In today's video, we discuss a crucial diagnostic tool in detecting prostate cancer: the prostate biopsy. This procedure is recommended when there are indications of possible prostate cancer, generally detected through elevated PSA tests, changes in the physical examination of the prostate or abnormal results in other imaging tests.
Prostate biopsy is the only method that can definitively confirm the presence of cancer cells in the prostate. During the procedure, small tissue samples are collected from the prostate to be analyzed microscopically. This helps doctors assess whether cancer is present, how aggressive it may be, and what the best treatment options are.
In the video, we explain in detail when a prostate biopsy is indicated.
If you have been advised to consider a prostate biopsy or simply want to learn more about this important procedure, this video is for you.
