New SUREcore needle vs standard care for prostate biopsy
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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 compares two ways of taking prostate biopsies in men with suspected prostate cancer, to see which method finds cancer more accurately. Participation may help doctors choose the best biopsy approach for future patients.
This study looks at two ways to improve prostate procedures: 1) whether adding local anesthesia during a biopsy (while you’re already sedated) makes a difference, and 2) whether a standard care plan before and after focal gland ablation helps recovery compared to usual care.
This trial compares two ways to guide a prostate biopsy using MRI images, to see which better detects clinically significant prostate cancer in men with suspicious MRI findings.
This trial compares two ways of taking prostate biopsies to see which is more accurate at detecting cancer. Both use MRI images to guide the biopsy, which may help find cancer more precisely.
This study compares pain levels between two standard ways of taking a prostate biopsy sample: through the rectum (transrectal) or through the skin between the scrotum and anus (transperineal). If you're about to have your first prostate biopsy, joining could help doctors understand which method is less painful.
