A prostate biopsy is used for removing the suspected prostate tissues with the help of a needle. It is suggested to detect prostate cancer when there is an increased level of prostate-specific antigen, a lump in the physical rectal examination, or if a previous biopsy report stated the presence of abnormal but non-cancerous cells.
