Abstract
There are conflicting recommendations from the American Urological Association and the European Association of Urology guidelines regarding transrectal or transperineal prostate biopsy, driven by a lack of high-quality data. In the interest of evidence-based medicine, it is best to avoid passionate overstatement of facts or assign strong recommendations until comparative effectiveness data are available.
