Re: Marco Borghesi, Hashim Ahmed, Robert Nam, et al. Complications After Systematic, Random, and Image-guided Prostate Biopsy. Eur Urol 2017;71:353–65

TLDR
The time is nigh to abandon the transrectal approach to prostate biopsy, and transperineal biopsy represents a clean alternative, with minimal infection risk and no need for quinolones, let alone other broader spectrum antibiotics.

Transperineal Prostate Biopsies Using Local Anesthesia: Experience with 1,287 Patients. Prostate Cancer Detection Rate, Complications and Patient Tolerability

TL;DR: Transperineal prostate biopsy with the patient under local anesthesia is a feasible alternative to transrectal biopsy in the detection of prostate cancer and is a safer alternative in patients due to the low risk of complications, in particular urosepsis, and it is well tolerated.

Prostate Biopsy-related Infection: A Systematic Review of Risk Factors, Prevention Strategies, and Management Approaches.

TL;DR: Management of biopsy-related infection should be based on individual risk and local resistance profiles with input from multiple specialties, and may benefit from an adjusted biopsy protocol comprising transrectal biopsy under targeted prophylaxis, and/or the use of rectal disinfection techniques or using a transperineal approach.

Nanoplasmonic sensors for detecting circulating cancer biomarkers

TL;DR: This review discusses the relevance and applicability of three different categories of nanoplasmonic sensing techniques, namely surface plasmon resonance (SPR), localized surface plasant resonance (LSPR) and surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), for the detection of different classes of circulating cancer biomarkers.

Prospective Study of Diagnostic Accuracy Comparing Prostate Cancer Detection by Transrectal Ultrasound–Guided Biopsy Versus Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging with Subsequent MR-guided Biopsy in Men Without Previous Prostate Biopsies

TL;DR: Comparing the diagnostic efficacy of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pathway with transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen found that mpMRI/MRGB reduces the detection of low-risk PCa and reduces the number of men requiring biopsy while improving the overall rate of detection of intermediate/high- risk PCa.

Complications After Systematic, Random, and Image-guided Prostate Biopsy

TL;DR: Complications after prostate biopsy are frequent but often self-limiting, and transperineal and in-bore MRI-targeted biopsy may reduce the risk of severe infectious complications.

Sepsis and 'superbugs': should we favour the transperineal over the transrectal approach for prostate biopsy?

TL;DR: To determine the rate of hospital re‐admission for sepsis after transperineal (TP) biopsy using both local data and worldwide literature, as there is growing interest in TP biopsy as an alternative to transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)‐guided biopsy for patients undergoing repeat prostate biopsy.
