You can come to Moffitt from Boca Raton, FL, to undergo a TRUS biopsy with or without a referral.

A TRUS biopsy provides a precise way for a physician to take samples of the prostate for testing. The procedure involves the release of high-frequency sound waves toward the prostate, allowing a computer to form a visual representation of the gland for a surgeon to review. The surgeon will then guide a needle into the prostate while monitoring its placement on a computer screen. Using the needle, the surgeon will take a small sample of tissue for analysis by a pathologist under a microscope.

Some of the reasons a TRUS biopsy may be recommended include:

Detection of a prostate nodule during a digital rectal exam (DRE)
Elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in a blood test result
Abnormalities found in or near the prostate during a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)
