A prostate biopsy (prostate biopsy) is intended to take samples from suspicious formations in the prostate gland. This gland, shaped like a walnut, produces fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. The oncologists at the Top Ichilov clinic expertly perform this procedure for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.
The prostate biopsy is a core needle biopsy (core needle biopsy - performed using a thick needle with a cutting end, allowing for a tissue sample to be taken for analysis) and is conducted by a urologist. The reason for its performance may be suspicion of prostate cancer as a result of a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (prostate-specific antigen-PSA) and digital rectal examination (DRE).
The sample taken through the biopsy is then examined under a microscope to detect cancerous changes in the cells. If cancer is found, further studies determine the rate of its spread and the form of treatment.
