Does Fox Chase offer MRI guided TPM biopsy for prostate cancer?

Q: Does Fox Chase offer MRI guided TPM biopsy for prostate cancer?

I left a voice mail at the educational phone number to find out if Fox Chase does a MRI guided TPM biopsy since I have an appointment soon for one and they do just a ultrasound guided TPM biopsy. If it is best to do the MRI biopsy vs. ultrasound I would like to cancel the appointment.

Answer:

Thank you for reaching out about this. Yes, Fox Chase does use ultrasound/MR fusion technology for the diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer. We suggest that you request an appointment with one of our urologic oncologists to determine which treatment is best for you. You can request an appointment by calling 888-FOX-CHASE (888-369-2427) or requesting an appointment online. After speaking with our new patient office, you will be directed to one of our nurse navigators who can schedule you for the next available appointment. We hope this helps!
