Not every patient needs a prostate biopsy. Those who are vulnerable and debilitated for other severe problems (like severe heart disease, last-stage kidney disease, severe neurologic disease, very old age >85 years and poor health, and those who will not get benefited from the treatment of prostate cancer) may not need prostate biopsy. On the other hand, healthy young or older people with good physical status usually get benefits from the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Ultimately, your treating doctor will determine what is appropriate for you.
