    Systematic transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy is commonly used for prostate cancer diagnosis, but targeted biopsy shows superior accuracy.

  • 2

    Pan-segmental mid-apical lesions are more common than isolated apex lesions, necessitating tailored biopsy strategies.

  • 3

    Extreme apical biopsy cores may not significantly enhance detection of clinically significant prostate cancer in mid-apical lesions.

  • 4

    The study analyzed 420 patients with mid-apical lesions, revealing a 44% detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer.

  • 5

    Optimizing targeted biopsy strategies could reduce morbidity while maintaining diagnostic efficacy for prostate cancer.
