@ezupcic Coordinates of the fusion biopsy come from the MRI reading so that can introduce as much error as the urologist being off target in aim. It looks like your biopsy results will be more accurate with the new doctors. It is standard to take cores from all 12 areas. Random cores from the targeted areas may not be taken, especially with multiple cores on the 4 targets.

@jim18 that’s why I’m hoping the MRI fusion will take cores from the 4 lesions and a systemic 12 core from other areas. The cancerous cells that matter could be anywhere. especially with a prostate my size 84.4 ml.
