A safer, more advanced approach to prostate cancer detection
Touro offers transperineal prostate biopsy, an advanced approach to prostate
cancer detection designed to reduce infection risk and improve accuracy.
Unlike traditional biopsy methods that pass through the rectum, the transperineal
approach accesses the prostate through the skin between the scrotum and
rectum, helping reduce exposure to bacteria.
Why transperineal biopsy?
Traditional prostate biopsies have commonly been performed using transrectal
approach. Because this method passes through the rectum, it may increase
the risk of infection.
The transperineal approach is designed to:
Lower infection risk
Reduce the need for antibiotics
Improve access to the prostate for more precise sampling
This approach is becoming increasingly recognized as a safer alternative
for prostate biopsy.
