I commented previously on this forum that the USA is behind the curve in performing Transperineal Biopsies . Certain EU countries have or are considering banning Transrectal Biopsies . Some urologists , even the the USA will not perform the Transrectal . Canada , the UK plus other Asian countries have been using it for years . Now we see Real Time Biopsiess - " In - Bore or Gantry Biopsy " , thus eliminating the " MRI Fusion " problem .

Agreed. Thankfully if I need any future biopsies they will be done at Mayo - Rochester and I was assured Mayo does transperineal. While I didn't like the transrectal fusion biopsy I will credit my urologist for hitting the target at least twice. It was the other 12 or 13 core samples he also took which were not pleasant. We can credit the FDA for keeping us behind in this country.
