Pilot Study Evaluating the Role of Histopathology Correlation in Treatment Planning

"All biopsies will be completed in the outpatient setting in the ambulatory operating room prior to routine prostate brachytherapy under general anesthesia.~Patients will be prepped in a dorsal lithotomy position with insertion of a Foley catheter. The perineum will be shaved as needed, and cleansed with antiseptic solution, and the scrotum will be elevated with a towel roll to expose the perineum."

An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a scan that uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to provide images of internal organs and tissues. This is not part of the study but will have been done per standard treatment. An MRI will occur at the screening visit and last visit of the study.
