This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live.

If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here.

Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.

Article body

Revising This:

Prostate biopsies are considered the gold standard in detecting prostate cancer. Infection is a possible risk. MRI guided techniques have improved the diagnostic accuracy of the procedure. Biopsies can be done through the rectum or penis.

Revisions:

The biopsy technique includes factors such as needle angle and prostate mapping method. ^[1] Patients with localized cancer and perineurial invasion may benefit more from immediate treatment rather than adopting a watchful waiting approach.^[1]

Psychological Impact of Screening

Men report low levels of distress surrounding PSA screening^[2]. Men who present for PSA or have PSA levels at baseline scored low on cancer distress on numerous scales.^[2]
