Where are you having your biopsies? Are you at a instiution with experienced urologists.

A MRI/Fusion is a very accurate and widely used way to do biopsies. I say that because that is what I had at Mayo Jacksonville. I did have to asked my urologist what it meant MRI/Fusion biopsies.

What it means is the urologist doing the biopsies is using the MRI taken to guide them to suspicous areas. Do you have access to call or portal message to your urologist seeing you about your cocern with having someone else do your biopsies?

I think that would help reduce your anxiety over a different urologist doing procedure. I make this post as that would have been what I would have done if this had happened to me and a differernt urologist was going to do my biopsies that was not the one I have been seeing.

If you are at a large and experiencd medical institutions probably have a wide selection of expereienced urologist but always good to reach out with your concerns to your treating urologist.

Yes, I am going to a big Urologist group here in Indianapolis. I hear to go to a “ Center of Excellence “, but I’m not sure if where I am going is considered a center of excellence. How do you find a center of excellence ?
Thanks
