A saturation prostate biopsy may be recommended for a patient from Cape Coral, Florida, for diagnostic purposes. At Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, prostate biopsy procedures are performed by experienced surgeons who use state-of-the-art equipment as well as minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. By doing so, we are able to offer prostate cancer patients exceptional diagnostic and treatment services, and as a result, we’ve earned an unparalleled 95 percent satisfaction rating among our patients.

Because Moffitt’s advanced surgical techniques are highly effective and sought after, we rank as the third-largest cancer center in the nation based on patient volume. Our surgeons perform a high number of cancer surgeries, providing them with invaluable experience and allowing them to each specialize in treating a specific form of cancer, such as prostate cancer.

When performing a saturation prostate biopsy, a surgeon inserts a small needle into the prostate gland to remove tissue samples using one of the following approaches:

Rectal approach – directly through the rectum
Penial approach – directly through the penis
Perineal approach – through a small incision between the rectum and scrotum (perineum)
Retropubic approach – through a small incision in the lower abdomen

The tissue samples obtained during a prostate biopsy are promptly sent to Moffitt’s on-site lab for testing, allowing us to provide results quickly and accurately. If a prostate biopsy confirms the presence of cancerous cells, a patient can receive treatment in the same convenient location. Each treatment plan is individualized according to a patient’s condition by a multispecialty team of prostate cancer experts to help ensure the most effective treatment possible.
