Evaluation of a Soft Tissue Biopsy System for Trans-rectal and Trans-perineal Biopsy of the Prostate Using Standard of Care and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Analysis
Evaluation of a Soft Tissue Biopsy System for Trans-rectal and Trans-perineal Biopsy of the Prostate Using Standard of Care and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Analysis
This is a post-market study of a cleared biopsy system. The quality of tissue cores varies with standard of care biopsy needles. The SureCore Plus biopsy system is being evaluated as to quality and volume of tissue from prostate biopsy as compared to standard of care biopsy needles.
Biopsy sampling of the prostate using TRUS or TPPB guidance is the current SoC approach for diagnosis of prostate cancer (CaP). Over the past decades the number of samples required and considered adequate has risen from 6 to 12-18 and sometimes as many as 30. Many practices routinely sample up to 20 cores of tissue. The SureCore Plus biopsy system is being to sample, obtain and retrieve prostate biopsy specimens in men undergoing scheduled diagnostic prostate biopsy and compare it with an standard of care (SoC) biopsy instrument and SoC method of specimen retrieval.
