I am concerned about getting an accurate prognosis from a biopsy including checking biomarkers. Looking for a fusion guided transperineal biopsy urologist at this point in time (June 2021). A doctor that will also include Decipher testing.

Asking for recommendations of specific doctors who are known as experts at do this procedure.

Thanks

Thank you Tall_Allen. I am wondering if you know of any Urologist at UCLA that has done many of this type of biopsy?

Any of them who do biopsies - it's all they do there. Mark Litwin is the Urology Chair.
