A member asked:
Is a prostate mri better before an invasive transperineal prostate biopsy as a first check for prostate cancer, or is the transperineal biopsy better as the first technique?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both can be used as a first check depending on different clinical variables. So the best thing is to ask your Urologist to explain it in your particular situation. Good luck.
