The diagnosis and management of prostate cancer often presents difficult
challenges. The dilemma of repeated negative TRUS biopsy or deciding to
do expectant management for what may be insignificant cancer is faced in
the clinic every day. Template-guided transperineal
saturation biopsy can be an invaluable tool for diagnosis and cancer
management. This new Saturation Biopsy Workstation and accessories are
ideally suited for template-guided transperineal saturation
biopsy procedures.
Template-guided transperineal pathologic mapping biopsy can
be an invaluable tool for diagnosing cancers that have continued to
evade extended transrectal biopsy techniques. Additionally, it can help
settle the therapeutic dilemma facing clinicians and patients when
minimal cancer is found on transrectal biopsies by accurately allowing
the physician to define the extent and location of the disease
3D Pathologic Mapping
Three dimensional mapping has evolved so
physicians are now routinely obtaining between 30-80 biopsies, depending on the
size of
the prostate. these biopsies are obtained transperinealy, between the
scrotum and rectum, using the same approach used in
brachytherapy and
cryoablation. Information from these biopsies can be used to create a virtual 3D
map of the prostate identifying
the location and extent of the cancer. While
this procedure was initially intended to help with the diagnosis of prostate
cancer,
3D mapping has recently extended to include patients in all stages of
diagnosis and treatment.
This technique involves
collecting 20+ biopsies using a Template Guided, Transperineal approach accesses
the transition zone and apex where a significant number of men may harbour
cancer. These areas are not accessible using the traditional Trans Rectal
approach.
What is the 3D
Prostate Mapping Approach to Saturation Biopsy?
It allows the Urologist
a means to saturate the prostate with biopsies using a systematic and
reproducible technique of placemats and labels. The SeeDOS AccuCARE method
organizes the prostate into 8 regions (octants) and further divides the gland
into 26 sections. Each section is biopsied and catalogued based on its location
in the prostate. All are readily accessible using the three reference planes
commonly used in ultrasound.
3D
Mapping Solution Simplifies 3DPM:
• Sterile specimen placemats and matching labels for
pathology jars provide operating room personnel
with a systematic manner of cataloguing biopsy cores
• Map each
prostate octant into 3 zones
3D Mapping
Features:
• Minimizes the risk of specimen labelling and loss
• Provides multiple sterile foam pads for easy
specimen transfer
• Intuitive Tyvek placemats clearly labelled with
corresponding labels accelerate specimen
capture and
organization
Who is a Candidate
for Prostate Saturation Biopsy?
Patients with an adverse
PSA parameter who have had a previous negative Transrectal Biopsy
What Constitutes
Prostate Saturation Biopsy?
The procedure must be
performed under general anaesthesia using a Transperineal approach.
This involves 20+
biopsies, depending on the size of the prostate, using a template grid. The
template grid allows
systematic sampling from the entire prostate gland.
