OBJECTIVE: Patients with persistently elevated PSA and multiple negative TRUS guided 12-core biopsies, present a clinical conundrum. We evaluated the efficacy of transurethral biopsy and/or resection in abetting prostate cancer diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eleven patients who had prostate cancer diagnosed only on TURP following TRUS guided (24-48 cores) negative biopsies, including five who underwent radical prostatectomy were assessed. Extent and site of tumour was analysed in relation to the TURP cavity. RESULTS: Mean age was 61.8 years (PSA range: 3.8-20.9 ng/ml.). Patients had TURP for worsening LUTS with chippings diagnosing invasive prostate cancer. Organ confined anterior prostate cancer was diagnosed in five who had radical prostatectomy. CONCLUSION: Anteriorly directed transurethral biopsies and/or TURP help in the diagnosis of prostate cancer in patients with multiple negative biopsies. Patients with anterior prostate cancer tend to have organ-confined disease even with higher PSA. (c) 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
