Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the practicality of a local anesthetic transperineal (LATP) technique for prostate cancer detection and to gather initial findings on infection rates and patient tolerability.
- A total of 1,218 patients underwent LATP biopsies across multiple centers, and prostate cancer was identified in 67% of cases, with a significant proportion having clinically relevant disease.
- Patients reported relatively low pain levels during the procedure, with a majority finding it tolerable under local anesthesia, while only a small percentage considered the re-biopsy process a major problem.
