How many samples are taken during a prostate biopsy?

There are 2 main types of transperineal biopsy. A targeted transperineal biopsy takes just a few samples from the area of the prostate that looked unusual on the scan images from your MRI. A template transperineal biopsy takes up to 25 or more samples from different areas of the prostate.
