Abstract
Biopsy revealed 9 solitary TZ cancers (1.8%) and RPE revealed only one of them to be truly TZ-confined cancer (0.6%). Furthermore PC-detection did not improve, even in patients with rebiopsy, and there was no correlation between detection of TZ-cancers and prostate volume. A combined use of CECD and SB to investigate participants of a PSA-screening program suggests that TZ-biopsies do not improve PC detection rate and are therefore unnecessary.
