From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prostate saturation biopsy typically entails 40–80 core samples taken from the prostate under general anesthesia.[1] This technique is used on certain high-risk patients, typically with elevated prostate specific antigen levels, abnormal findings on previous biopsies, or abnormal rectal examinations.[2]
