Popis: | Aims and Background The objective of the study was to evaluate the significance of suspicious lesions at transrectal ultrasonography for prostate cancer diagnosis. Patients and Methods A total of 1,009 men with a mean age of 65.0 ± 7.7 years (range, 40.0-79.0) constituted the study cohort and 265 (26.3%) were diagnosed with prostate cancer on initial biopsy. Results The cancer detection rate was higher in patients with suspicious lesions (33.2%) than in those with no suspicious lesion (21.5%) (PConclusions Our findings do not provide a rationale to recommend the addition of lesion-directed biopsy in patients with suspicious lesions at transrectal ultrasonography. However, men with suspicious lesions at transrectal ultrasonography had a higher risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer. |
