I have Never heard of a problem with a biopsy causing the cancer to spread. You might ask the person Who told you that where they got that information.

That crap is all over the internet and it also made me nervous when I first came across it. They talk about the biopsy needles “seeding” the body cavity and some quacks claim they can “track” the path of the biopsy needles by observing cancer cells in their path.
It’s all bullshit - just another moronic musing that gets picked up and parroted ad infinitum until it becomes a truth.
There is ZERO evidence that prostate biopsies cause cancer- but decades of evidence proving that prostate cancer can kill you….your choice.

I had not heard that either. Unfortunately, this person was pretty critical of USA physicians and anyone who wears bracelets and other jewelry that creates awareness of such diseases as cancer. Thus, I don't want to interact w/him anymore.
