What is a fusion prostate biopsy?

Fusion biopsy is an innovative method for diagnosing prostate cancer that combines MRI imaging with real-time ultrasound. Dr Daniel Saeidian explains that the method enables more precise identification of suspicious areas in the prostate.

Why is fusion biopsy considered an advanced method?

According to Dr Daniel Saeidian, fusion biopsy improves diagnostic accuracy, reduces the need for repeat biopsies and decreases the risk of misidentifying tumours.

What is the recommended biopsy approach?

In the past, prostate biopsy was performed transrectally, which carried a relatively high infection rate. The currently recommended approach is transperineal fusion biopsy, which has been proven to be more accurate and safer and is therefore recommended in leading urological society guidelines.

Is fusion biopsy painful?

According to Dr Daniel Saeidian, most patients will feel no pain at all as the biopsy is performed under general anaesthesia. For patients wishing to avoid general anaesthesia, Dr Saeidian is trained to perform transperineal fusion biopsies under local anaesthesia or sedation only, with minimal discomfort.

What are the risks of a fusion prostate biopsy?

As with any biopsy, there is a risk of mild bleeding, localised pressure or urinary tract infection, but Dr Daniel Saeidian emphasises that it is a safe procedure with a low complication rate.
