Abstract
- Though it is thousands of years old, prostate cancer (PCa) has only been known for 200 years. Until about 50 years ago, the diagnosis could only be made by digital rectal examination. Although the first prostate biopsies were already implemented in the beginning of the last century, it only obtained importance with the introduction of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in the early screening for PCa and the pathologist, thus, became an essential partner for the urologist. In more recent years, specific MRI has significantly increased the accuracy of prostate biopsies. Thus, the question arises whether this technique is going to be so meaningful one day that prostate biopsy and the associated pretherapeutic histology are going to be redundant.
