This prospective study of comparing between Transrectal and transperineal prostate MRI targeted biopsy to provide evidence for clinicians to select the appropriate biopsy approach under different conditions.
This prospective study of comparing transperineal (TP) prostate MRI targeted biopsy with transrectal (TR) prostate MRI targeted biopsy was aimed to provide evidence for clinicians to select the appropriate biopsy approach under different conditions. TP (n = 75) and TR (n = 75) will be performed randomly for 150 patients who are suspicious of prostate cancer (PCa). The cancer detection rate (CDR), complication rate, visual analog scale (VAS) score, most painful procedure, number of repeated biopsy and additional anesthesia, and operating time (starting from lying down on the operating table to getting up) will be recorded.

Trans-rectal biopsy of the prostate: A procedure in which a sample of tissue is removed from the prostate using a thin needle that is inserted through the rectum and into the prostate.
Trans-perineal biopsy of the prostate: The sample is removed with a thin needle that is inserted through the skin of the perineum and into the prostate.

the rate of positive detections
the rate of positive detections (How many case are Prostate cancer positive)
Time frame: 1 year
the incidence rate of each complication
the Incidence of complication rate is the number of complications divided by the number of patients and the number of patients with complications. Complications were separated into those with major or minor sequelae and the proportion of each type that were due to medical error (avoidable).
