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.
