I agree with posters citing the MRI/Fusion to do the biopsies. That is what I had at Mayo Jacksonville. This is what my Mayo urologist wanted done and why he ordered the MRI with contrast to be able to do biopsies if needed that way.

There was one post about posterior of prostate. I agree . I have a lot of them now.

When I chose to have proton radiation at UFHPTI, as Mayo Jacksonville could only offer photon, when I was having CT scans done to set my simulation bed and treatment measurements my R/O there had told me he wanted to do a catheter (not comfortable procedure at all) with a contrast to look at the back of my prostate. Never heard that mentioned on MCC but now see why as trying to get a good look at back of prostate.

Now I read a poster talking about the back of prostate and it can be a problem. I assume this is what my R/O was trying to see as could not feel. My R/O at UFHPTI has done thousands of proton radiation treatments at UFHPTI as he began there when it opened in 2006 and does 50% of all radiation treatments for prostate cancer at UFHPTI.
