Needle biopsy of the prostate has been widely practiced for more than twenty-five years, whereas transrectal aspiration biopsy, first described fifty years ago, has not. We describe our experience using the transrectal aspiration biopsy and correlate the results with histologic studies of the prostate obtained by conventional needle biopsy and surgical specimens. Aspiration needle biopsy of the prostate has a high degree of diagnostic accuracy, it causes minimal inconvenience and discomfort, the results are rapidly available, the ease of entering the suspected area in the prostate is more precise than with conventional needle biopsy, and sampling of prostate can be greater. The disadvantages of aspiration biopsy are that the technique, being unfamiliar to most urologists, must be learned and requires an experienced cytologist for interpretation. Cytologic evaluation by aspiration biopsy and the histologic diagnosis by conventional needle biopsy are complementary.
前列腺穿刺活检已经广泛应用了25年多，而50年前首次描述的经直肠针吸活检却并非如此。我们描述了使用经直肠针吸活检的经验，并将结果与通过传统穿刺活检和手术标本获得的前列腺组织学研究结果相关联。前列腺针吸活检具有高度的诊断准确性，造成的不便和不适最小，结果能快速获得，进入前列腺可疑区域比传统穿刺活检更精确，且前列腺取样量更大。针吸活检的缺点是，大多数泌尿科医生对该技术不熟悉，必须学习，并且需要有经验的细胞病理学家进行解读。针吸活检的细胞学评估与传统穿刺活检的组织学诊断是互补的。
