A member asked:
How safe is a transperineal prostate biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very safe but not 100%. Nothing is. I would ask the team getting ready to do the biopsy to give you a risk estimate in men you age like you in their hands. Then you all can do an individual risks/benefits analysis and make a choice.
