Abstract
About a fourth of patients with at least 2 extended negative sets of prostate biopsies remain at risk for prostate cancer and most tumors missed on initial procedures are clinically significant. Repeat biopsy using general anesthesia detects three-fourths of these prostate cancers. However, the diagnostic yield of transurethral prostate resection appears significant and may provide additional data of clinical importance in select, informed patients.
