Targeted Prostate Biopsy (MRI - Ultrasound Fusion Biopsy)
A smarter, more precise and targeted approach to detect prostate cancer.
A new technique is now available in Singapore to better detect high-risk prostate cancer than the standard prostate biopsy. National Cancer Institute researchers in USA have found that using MRI targeted biopsy finds 30% more high-risk prostate cancers and 17% fewer low-risk prostate cancers than standard biopsy.
This allows us to better determine whether a man's prostate cancer will grow quickly or slowly (aggressiveness). This information is important is guiding him decide how best to treat it.
What is targeted prostate biopsy (MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy)?
This involves the use of MRI images of the prostate which are then combined (fused) with live ultrasound images to confirm areas of the prostate that look abnormal. This allows us to target and biopsy those suspicious areas that are more likely to contain cancer in real time.
Who is suitable for this type of biopsy?
What do I need to have this biopsy?
You will need to undergo a MRI scan of your prostate gland. We can help arrange the MRI scan. We will upload the images and fuse them with live ultrasound images at the time of the biopsy. You will also be advised on standard preparation protocols for a prostate biopsy.
How do I get an assessment?
You can contact us for a clinic appointment for the assessment to see if you will benefit from this technique.
