Key Points

This research aims to compare the safety and effectiveness of transrectal and transperineal prostate biopsy techniques in detecting prostate cancer.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature
Compared infection and sepsis rates between LATP biopsy and TRUS biopsy
Analyzed cancer detection rates and clinical significance based on Gleason grades
LATP biopsy shows lower rates of infection and sepsis compared to TRUS biopsy
Higher incidence of overall prostate cancer detection with LATP biopsy
Clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason Grade Group 2-5) detected more frequently with LATP biopsy

Abstract

The LATP biopsy is associated with lower rates of infection and sepsis compared to TRUS biopsy. The LATP biopsy also detects a higher overall incidence of prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason Grade Group 2-5).
