Not all prostate cancer cases need a biopsy. When they do a PSMA pet scan and find that the cancer is all over the body there’s no need to do a biopsy. This is the type of thing where they immediately go to triplet therapy, ADT and ARPI and chemo.
In this situation, they might not ever need to remove the prostate, It’s been found that in a very serious cases it doesn’t make sense and doesn’t help.
