- Abstract
- OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic value of 12 core biopsy versus sextant biopsy at different prostatic-specific antigen densities (PSAD). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the records of 1,463 patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies at our institution. 995 patients underwent 12 core biopsy and 468 sextant biopsy of the prostate. The cancer detection rates achieved by these two methods were analyzed at different PSAD levels. RESULTS: All patients were stratified into 5 groups according to PSAD level; group A: PSAD < 0.1 (n = 290), group B: 0.1 < or = PSAD < 0.2 (n = 572), group C: 0.2 < or = PSAD < 0.3 (n = 248), group D: 0.3 < or = PSAD < 0.4 (n = 122), and group E: PSAD > or = 0.4 (n = 231). In group B, 12 core biopsy had a higher detection rate than 6 core biopsy (P = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate 12 core biopsy is better able to detect cancer than 6 core biopsy in patients with a PSAD in the range 0.1-0.2, which suggests that PSAD be considered when deciding on the number of prostate biopsy cores required.
