ABSTRACT
Ultrasound guided and digitally directed prostatic needle biopsies were performed in 25 patients with palpable prostatic lesions. Digitally directed biopsies were positive for cancer in 9 [36%] patients, whereas ultrasound guided biopsies were positive in 11 [44%] patients [including all 9 patients detected by the digitally directed biopsies]. Elevated serum prostate specific antigen [PSA] levels were detected in 10 [90.9%] of 11 patients with cancer [including the two patients diagnosed by ultrasound guided biopsies only]. The results demonstrated the higher diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound guided technique, hence, its use in patients with negative digitally directed biopsies, particularly those with high serum PSA levels, is recommended
