Transperineal vs Transrectal Prostate Biopsy: Advancing Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

Which is better, transrectal or transperineal prostate biopsy? Leading urologists Dr. Aditya Bagrodia, Dr. Juan Javier-Desloges, and Dr. Matt Allaway discuss the advantages of transperineal vs transrectal prostate biopsy, considering safety, cancer detection rates, and the practical benefits of the transperineal approach.

Equipment Essentials for Transperineal Prostate Biopsy: The Right Tools for the Job

Urologists Aditya Bagrodia, Matt Allaway, and Juan Javier-DesLoges explore the role of various equipment in switching from a traditional transrectal biopsy to the more efficient transperineal biopsy approach. This includes the procedural table, choice of ultrasound equipment, location of the procedure, and needle sheath to minimize patient discomfort.

TULSA prostate treatment device

TULSA prostate treatment is a new prostate cancer treatment option that uses real-time MRI thermometry to visualize treatment areas and boundaries. TULSA treatment for prostate cancer requires proper patient selection and preparation are crucial for success. Learn more!

Tulsa procedure technique device placement diagram

The TULSA procedure involves several technical steps, including imaging, device placement, ablation control, and real-time monitoring. Learn how to successfully treat prostate cancer with the TULSA procedure, including step-by-step guidance on technical steps and follow-up care.

Transurethral ultrasound ablation MRI

Transurethral ultrasound ablation may offer distinct advantages over alternative treatment options for prostate cancer. Xioasong Meng and Dr. Aditya Bagrodia team up with radiologist Dr. Daniel Costa to explain how to establish a TULSA program for prostate cancer treatment.

Histology of high grade bladder cancer

The management of high-grade BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer begins with the establishment of cytology and, based on the patient profile, is followed by either TURBT or total cystectomy. Alternatives to BCG for bladder cancer are available, but ongoing research continues to explore other options.

Cystoscopic Image of Bladder cancer

BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer has distinct criteria for diagnosis and management. Official FDA diagnosis requires the development or recurrence of a high-grade bladder tumor after a patient has received adequate BCG therapy. Treatment duration varies based on whether an induction or maintenance course is indicated.

Doctor holding cystoscope for TURBT procedure

Transurethral resections of bladder tumor (TURBT) is a common procedure that is used to treat bladder cancer. Urologic Oncologist Dr. Sam Chang shares his approach to successful bladder cancer resection with TURBT, covering his technique before, during, and after the TURBT procedure.
