Precise Diagnosis Method in Prostate Cancer: MR Fusion Biopsy

As Metropol Health Group, we provide services with MR fusion biopsy, an effective and sensitive method for early diagnosis of prostate cancer. This method combines magnetic resonance (MR) and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images to create a three-dimensional map of the prostate. Suspicious areas are detected and targeted biopsy is performed and cancerous tissues are accurately diagnosed.

Why Preferred?

• Early Diagnosis Opportunity: By detecting prostate cancer at an early stage, it provides a rapid start to treatment.
• Precise Results: Provides accurate and reliable diagnosis with biopsy samples taken from suspicious areas.
• Avoids Unnecessary Procedures: By focusing only on suspicious areas instead of random biopsies, fewer procedures are performed and patient comfort is increased.

How to Apply?

In the first stage, a detailed image of the prostate is taken with MRI. Then the internal structure of the prostate is examined using the TRUS method. These images are combined with special software to create a three-dimensional model of the prostate. The doctor identifies suspicious areas on this model and takes biopsy samples with a fine needle. The samples are analyzed in the laboratory and the diagnosis is made.

Process and Aftermath

• Application Time: The procedure is usually completed between 15-30 minutes.
• Anesthesia Local anesthesia or light sedation is applied for a comfortable procedure experience.
• Recovery Process: Symptoms such as mild discomfort and bleeding in the urine may be seen after the procedure, but usually resolve in a short time.

Results and Treatment Plan

• Diagnostic Process: Biopsy samples are examined in the laboratory and results are available in about 1-2 weeks.
• Treatment Approach: Based on the results, our doctors will create a customized treatment plan. Options may include surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy or follow-up.

The Main Advantages of MR Fusion Biopsy

• Precise Diagnosis Possibility: Provides high accuracy by focusing on suspicious areas.
• Minimal Side Effects: It offers a safe process with fewer side effects than the random biopsy method.
• Fast Procedure and Results: The procedure is completed in a short time and the results reach the patients quickly.
