Is it trans perineal or rectal? Greater access is afforded by the perineal approach and more samples can be taken of areas that did not necessarily show up on the MRI.

Since you have 1 lesion visible on your MRI, it's important to make sure that the biopsy you're undergoing is and MRI fusion biopsy where the images from your MRI are "fused" with those of the ultrasound device and that the region of interest is "targeted" for core samples. You do not want the standardized systematic biopsy where 12 samples are taken (two each) from the 6 zones of the prostate. It's OK to that as addition just for mental satisfaction, but you want to make sure focus is on core samples from the region of interest. You need high assurance the biopsy procedure is focused on samples from the lesion.
