This medical animation illustrates each step in a prostate needle biopsy. This procedure is one way of diagnosing prostate cancer.

During a prostate exam a doctor may choose to take a needle biopsy sample to check for prostate cancer. This surgical procedure removes tissue from the prostate gland to later examine under a microscope. During the procedure a biopsy device is inserted into the anus and a spring-loaded needle passes through the wall of the rectum into the prostate gland. A small tissue sample is taken.
This process is repeated several times to obtain a thorough sample. Upon completion the biopsy device is removed. The results of the test will be analyzed to determine if a cancer is present.

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...
At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.
Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
