BIOPSY SMALL – ( PROSTATE )

A prostate biopsy is a vital diagnostic procedure conducted by a specialized urologist at Hypro Diagnostics to extract tissue samples from the prostate gland—a key organ in male reproductive health. This becomes necessary when initial assessments, such as the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test or a digital rectal exam, suggest potential issues, including prostate cancer. Using a needle, the biopsy gathers multiple tissue samples for microscopic examination, aiming to identify any cell abnormalities indicative of prostate cancer. Once cancer is confirmed, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted to determine its aggressiveness, facilitating the formulation of an effective treatment plan. Reasons for recommending a prostate biopsy at Hypro Diagnostics include elevated PSA levels for your age, abnormalities detected during a digital rectal exam, persistently elevated PSA levels post a previously normal biopsy, or prior biopsy results indicating abnormal prostate tissue cells that are non-cancerous. This procedure is integral to early detection and informed decision-making for optimal prostate cancer management at Hypro Diagnostics.
