Conventionally, transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) was the main technique used for the diagnosis of prostate cancer since it was first described in 1989 [1]. However, the PROMIS trial showed that this random, nontargeted approach could miss up to 18% of clinically significant cancer (csPCa) [2]. Furthermore, risk of sepsis post TRUS-Bx can be as high as 2.4% [3]. Understanding the demerits of TR-biopsy have led to the introduction of transperineal prostate biopsy (TP-Bx). The incorporation of mpMRI revolutionized prostate cancer diagnostics, allowing visualization of areas likely to harbor csPCa whilst permitting some men to avoid an immediate biopsy. Furthermore, the advent of prostate specific membrane antigen-positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) is highly promising, because of its role in primary diagnosis of prostate cancer and its higher diagnostic accuracy over conventional imaging in detecting nodal and metastatic lesions. Our narrative review provides an overview on prostate biopsy techniques and an update on prostate imaging, with particular focus on PSMA-PET.
