Transperineal vs Transrectal biopsy

I had transrectal biopsy in 2023 - no cancer was found. Then I had a Transperineal biopsy 14 months later and advanced cancer was found-gleason 9. My understanding/experience says that Transperineal yields better diagnosis.

That’s because it can get to areas of the prostate that cannot be reached by the transrectal biopsy.
