Assessment of VMCore Biopsy Versus Standard of Care Biopsy

Prostate biopsy is the definitive test to establish the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The standard of care biopsy needles do not predictably obtain full cores of tissue and what tissue obtained is often fragmented, making pathologic review a challenge. The VMCore Biopsy System has a geometry in the tip of its biopsy needles that capture more tissue in a single sample. This study is to compare the characteristics of tissue captured by either standard of care needles and the VMCore needle.
