hi, the question is; is there or has there been a trail to find out if by taking a biopsy for a gleasontest , there is no risk of taken some bad tissue out and bringing this into your body.

I'm curious to know, if anybody has discusted this with his urologe and what was his answer.

the strang thing is, you have to take pills against infection, though they bring bad stuff outside the prostate.

thanks for your reply.

There are no riskless procedures done in the hospital. Hospitals are also where a lot of infections originate. The pill to prevent infection is a precaution against an infection. Assuming the needle is sterile then the prostate tissue should all be taken in the syringe and nothing bad should happen, but there is always a low risk that something unforeseen can happen. The biopsy is low risk but the results are absolutely needed for proper diagnosis.

This looks like evidence to me. I found this three days before hdr brachytherapy(invasive like biopsy) was scheduled. I went ahead with it.

I also read another paper(can't find right now) where a recurrence in bladder due to catheter was proven by looking at past imaging at the time of brachytherapy.

I don't know about trials. The problem with TRUS biopsy is that the needles are introduced through the wall of the rectum and on their way in may pick up faecal matter and introduce it INTO the prostate. Hence the infection. Any prostate tissue picked up inside the needle and taken OUT is unlikely to escape from the needle. If any does the place it's most likely to escape to would be the rectum. It won't survive there!
