PROSTATE BIOPSY TECHNIQUES: WAYS TO OPTIMIZE CANCER DETECTION AND ENSURE PATIENT SAFETY

Featuring: Edward M. Schaeffer, MD, PhD

Episode Summary

Abnormal 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.
