January 2021 PROSTATE BIOPSY TECHNIQUES: WAYS TO OPTIMIZE CANCER DETECTION AND ENSURE PATIENT SAFETYFeaturing: Edward M. Schaeffer, MD, PhD
Episode SummaryAbnormal results on screening tests may mean a patient has prostate cancer, but these tests alone can’t diagnose prostate cancer. A prostate biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis.
In this episode of the Better Edge podcast, Edward M. Schaeffer, MD, PhD, shares the latest prostate biopsy techniques, Transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) biopsy and the ways that Northwestern Medicine is working to optimize cancer detection and help ensure patient safety. |
Edward M. Schaeffer, MD, PhD, chair in the Department of Urology and Edmund Andrews Professor of Urology at Northwestern Medicine.
