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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 is testing whether taking extra biopsy samples from specific areas seen on an MRI can better detect prostate cancer compared to the standard method of taking samples from all over the prostate. It may help men who have a suspicious MRI finding and a higher PSA level.
This study tests a new way to guide prostate biopsies using a special scan (PSMA PET/CT) that highlights suspicious areas. If you need a biopsy because of high PSA and abnormal MRI, this approach might help make the biopsy more accurate.
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 study compares how much pain patients experience with two different ways of taking a small sample of prostate tissue: through the rectum (transrectal) versus through the area between the scrotum and anus (transperineal). Understanding which approach causes less pain can help doctors choose the best method for future patients.
