Cleaning needles for prostate biopsy

This study compares a new prostate biopsy system/needle with the standard biopsy needle during your scheduled prostate biopsy. It looks at how well the procedure collects tissue for diagnosis and how the tissue samples compare.

This study tests a new, specially designed biopsy needle system against the standard needle system used for prostate biopsies. The researchers will compare how well each system collects tissue samples from men who have suspicious MRI findings, to see if the new needle might give better results.

This trial compares using Betadine (an iodine-based antiseptic) versus sterile water to clean the area before a catheter is placed in the doctor's office. The goal is to see which method better prevents infections during the procedure.

This trial compares a new biopsy needle called SUREcore to the standard needle used during prostate biopsies. It aims to see if the SUREcore needle works better or causes less discomfort.

This study tests a special fine-needle “photoacoustic” scan used during a planned prostate biopsy. It aims to better assess prostate cancer tissue patterns, which may improve how doctors evaluate biopsies.

This study tests whether taking antibiotics before a prostate biopsy (a needle procedure to check for cancer) reduces infections. You would receive either standard care or a specific antibiotic plan, and researchers will track any infections that develop.
