This is the largest single institution prospective TRUS prostate biopsy series in Australasia. Biopsies using PILA were well tolerated with low complication rates and diagnosed a high rate of clinically significant prostate cancer. The 'One Stop' pathway generates efficiencies with combined assessment and diagnostic process, lessens demand on outpatient clinic appointments and reduces travel time and costs for rural men.
