Clinical Trial: Spatial Needle Placement Strategies and Pathological Concordance in Prostate Biopsy: A National Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

U.S., Nov. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07918235) titled 'Spatial Needle Placement Strategies and Pathological Concordance in Prostate Biopsy: A National Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study' on Oct. 29.

Brief Summary: Prostate cancer is a major malignancy in men, and prostate biopsy determines both cancer detection and risk stratification. Biopsy strategies vary substantially across centers in approach (transperineal vs. transrectal), use of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), targeted versus systematic sampling, and the spatial distribution of cores; however, most prior databases record only the total number of cores and cannot reconstruct the spatial location of individual cores.
