The first sextant prostate needle biopsy scheme was developed by Hodge et al. in 1989 The sextant biopsy scheme consisted of biopsies of the prostate in the midline at the base, mid-gland, and apex. The midline sextant biopsies had a PCa detection rate of 20-30% . However, 25-50% of aggressive PCa remain undetected when using the midline sextant biopsies scheme.

Stamey et al. in 1995 evaluated radical prostatectomy Stamey et al. in 1995 evaluated radical prostatectomy specimens and found that PCa had a higher likelihood of specimens and found that PCa had a higher likelihood of being found in the anterior horns of the peripheral zone being found in the anterior horns of the peripheral zone and suggested that laterally directed biopsies may provide and suggested that laterally directed biopsies may provide better detection.better detection.

The current recommendation is an extended-biopsy The current recommendation is an extended-biopsy scheme with at least 8-12 cores including lateral scheme with at least 8-12 cores including lateral biopsies. Transition zone biopsies are not recommended biopsies. Transition zone biopsies are not recommended on initial evaluation.on initial evaluation.

It is important to perform both the lateral modified fan-shaped biopsy and the midline sextant biopsies to improve overall PCa detections rates.

Thus, we recommend performing midline sextant biopsies , modified fan-shaped biopsy , and transition zone biopsies based on prostate volume, as follows:

- 8 biopsies for ≤15 cc- 14 for those >15 cc but ≤50 cc- 14-20 for those >50 cc
