The Accuracy of Tissue Resonance Interaction Method Probe (Trimprob Tm) in Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Prostatic Cancer. Analysis of the Results of 782 Patients
The aim of our study was to evaluate the real utility of the TRIMprob test before TRUS-guided biopsy approach, putting in relation the number of positive tests of the TRIMprob with the number of positive prostate biopsies that were performed successfully. Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV (Positive predicted value), NPV (Negative predicted value) of the TRIMprob test were analyzed with statistical software package for Social Sciences (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Illinois USA).
