Thanks for the feedback. I have been Active Surveillance for 11 months. PSA has risen from 5.1 to 5.7 in a year. Am supposed to do new biopsy this summer. My urologist only does transrectal, but all my research says transperoneal is better/safer. I have an appointment with him next week to discuss

Transperineal IS better and safer snd can access more areas of the gland.
If your URO doesn’t do it, please find someone else who does; don’t let him talk you into doing something you know is inferior just because it’s what THEY are comfortable with.
