Abstract
Objective: to define the optimal time and technique of repeated transrectal prostate biopsy (RTPB) in patients with atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP).
Subjects and methods: RTPB was performed in 210 patients with first diagnosed ASAP. The study was conducted on an average 8 (range 1 to 12) months after the first biopsy and involved 12, 14, 16, and 18 biopsy cores.
Results: According to the results of repeated biopsy, prostate adenocarcinoma was verified in 64.8% (136/210) of cases. The highest detection rate was found with biopsy schemes including 16 and 18 cores 1 and 3 months after the first biopsy (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: ASAP is a precursor of prostate cancer and its presence in the morphological specimen during the first biopsy requires RTBT in the early periods irrespective of PSA levels.
