This procedure was the sole technique used in 75 men and prostatic cancer was diagnosed in 19. Two of these patients were not treated because a core biopsy performed at another hospital was negative for carcinoma. Aspiration and transperineal core biopsies were performed in 62 other cases. The sensitivity of aspiration to diagnose prostatic cancer was 98 per cent (45 of 46 biopsies) compared to only 81 per cent (37 of 46) for the core biopsy method. No patient suffered a complication following the aspiration biopsy. These data further support the value of transrectal aspiration biopsy as a sensitive, easy to perform method for sampling an abnormal prostate. More widespread use of this technique in the United States should be encouraged. © 1986 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByNarayan P, Jajodia P and Stein R (2018) Core Biopsy Instrument in the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer: Superior Accuracy to Fine Needle AspirationJournal of Urology, VOL. 145, NO. 4, (795-797), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1991.Narayan P, Jajodia P, Stein R and Tanagho E (2018) A Comparison of Fine Needle Aspiration and Core Biopsy in Diagnosis and Preoperative Grading of Prostate CancerJournal of Urology, VOL. 141, NO. 3 Part 1, (560-563), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1989.Goldenberg S, Ajzen S, Allen G, Cooperberg P, Perler Z and Chan N (2018) Combined Biopsy Techniques: An Approach to the Diagnosis of Prostatic MalignancyJournal of Urology, VOL. 141, NO. 4, (870-872), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1989.Chodak G, Keller P and Schoenberg H (2018) Assessment of Screening for Prostate Cancer Using the Digital Rectal ExaminationJournal of Urology, VOL. 141, NO. 5, (1136-1138), Online publication date: 1-May-1989.Smith F, Bibbo M, Schoenberg H and Chodakt G (2018) Transrectal Aspiration Biopsy of the Prostate: The Importance of AtypiaJournal of Urology, VOL. 140, NO. 4, (766-768), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1988.Kaye K and Horwitz C (2018) Transrectal Fine Needle Biopsy of the Prostate: Combined Histological and Cytological TechniqueJournal of Urology, VOL. 139, NO. 6, (1229-1231), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1988.Agatstein E, Hernandez F, Layfield L, Smith R and deKernion J (2018) Use of Fine Needle Aspiration for Detection of Stage a Prostatic Carcinoma Before Transurethral Resection of the Prostate: A Clinical TrialJournal of Urology, VOL. 138, NO. 3, (551-553), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1987.Layfield L, Mukamel E, Hilborne L, Hannah J, Glasgow B, Ljung B and dekernion J (2018) Cytological Grading of Prostatic Aspiration Biopsy: A Comparison with the Gleason Grading SystemJournal of Urology, VOL. 138, NO. 4 Part 1, (798-800), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1987.
