Prostate biopsy is used to find cancer in the prostate gland. Tissue samples are needed in order to do so. During a prostate biopsy needles are inserted through the rectum to remove a small amount of tissue. Dr. Mark Scholz says this procedure is not entirely safe.
The rectum is a very dirty place filled with bacteria. Nearly 3% of prostate biopsies result in infection and one in one thousand cases can prove fatal. It is important that patients understand the risk before having the procedure done.
