Men will be eligible for this study if they were referred for a non-saturation office prostate biopsy to rule out the presence of prostate cancer in the setting of an elevated PSA or abnormal DRE. These men will be identified from the prostate biopsy schedule and from those added to the schedule that day. There are no age restrictions, though likely the age range will go from 40-80 yrs. Health status will not be separately evaluated, but rather deemed adequate for men healthy enough to undergo prostate biopsy.
