Editor’s Pick: Know the current standard of care for diagnosing prostate cancer. (bj)

Topics Discussed
Blind bioposies are inconistent with current standard of care for diagnosing prostate cancer; MRI before biopsy helps you make better informed treatment decisions; transperineal vs transrectal biopsy — transperineal have lower infection risk; getting a second opinion on biopsy results can change treatment decisions; make an informed decision, not a rushed one; use genetic testing (e.g. Decipher and Prolaris) to guide treatment decisions.
