The prostate is still largely assessed by random biopsy, but developments in prostate MRI and fusion with transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) have made targeted biopsy of the prostate a reality. MRI/TRUS techniques promise to address the issues of overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis in prostate cancer.
