Benefits of HC Marbella’s fusion biopsy

At HC Marbella, our state-of-the-art equipment, the BK 3000 fusion ultrasound system enables:

Higher quality imaging with improved scope

• Real-time, ultra-high-definition prostate imaging.
  This enables visualisation of suspicious areas by identifying regions of interest, leading to more accurate and safer biopsies in a shorter time.

 

• Improved lesion selection with fusion-guided biopsies
  The combination of MRI and real-time ultrasound is designed to enable more accurate, targeted prostate biopsies.

It is effective

• It detects the presence of prostate cancer in more than 95% of cases.
• It always biopsies suspicious areas, enabling access to areas of the prostate that are difficult to reach.
• It enables the diagnosis of 30% more aggressive tumours than with a transrectal biopsy with which 1 in 3 prostate cancers escape.

Safer

• It decreases the risk of infection and bleeding and the need for repeat biopsy.

Rapid recovery

• The procedure is performed under deep sedation, without the need for admission to hospital.
• The patient recovers within 24 hours.
