From Dan,

Hi Howard,

We’ve communicated before.

MicroUltraSound is dear to my heart. After a transfecal, I was diagnosed with 3+3. I put myself on AS. Months later I had a TURP, which removed almost 1/2 of my prostate. The subsequent pathology resulted in a diagnosis of 3+4. No 3+3 was found. Peter Carroll recommended a confirmatory biopsy and mentioned MicroUltraSound because I have two artificial hips.

I found Andres Correa thanks to ASPI. He did a MicroUltraSound and then a transperineal, taking 14 cores. Was shocked when he reviewed the pathology with me. 7/14 cores positive, but 6 were 3+3. The seventh was 3+4.

I don’t know if an MRI would have done better, but the MicroUltraSound was impressive. Also quick, painless, and I’m assuming a hell of a lot cheaper. And no “tube time”.

Could you explain further as to how long the MUS procedure takes and the process involved?
