Additional information
Modern prostate diagnosis should not rely on PSA alone: MRI helps identify suspicious areas, while biopsy provides the tissue diagnosis needed to confirm prostate cancer.
Why Dr. Joan Carles Galceran
I recommend Dr. Joan Carles Galceran, Medical Oncology Specialist at Centro Médico Teknon.
• He has practiced Medical Oncology at Teknon since 2020.
• He holds a Doctorate in Medicine from Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona.
• He holds the European Certificate in Medical Oncology.
• His research activity includes multicenter clinical trials in prostate, kidney and bladder cancer, making his experience particularly relevant once biopsy results need to be interpreted and a treatment strategy selected.
The biopsy itself is coordinated with Teknon’s specialist urology and radiology teams.
Diagnosis and pricing
• Consultation with Dr. Joan Carles Galceran: approximately €350.
• PSA and appropriate laboratory tests: approximately €100–250.
• Multiparametric prostate MRI: approximately €700–1,000, only if a suitable recent MRI is not available.
• MRI-targeted transperineal prostate biopsy: approximately €3,500–5,000.
• Histopathology and Gleason/Grade Group assessment: approximately €700–1,200.
• Additional immunohistochemistry or molecular testing: only if the pathology team considers it necessary.
Prices are estimates and may change significantly after medical evaluation.
Why this diagnostic pathway
Memorial Sloan Kettering describes prostate MRI as a key tool for identifying suspicious areas and guiding biopsy, while biopsy remains necessary to establish the tissue diagnosis. MSK notes that transperineal biopsy is its most common prostate-biopsy approach.
Current European Association of Urology guidance similarly recommends performing MRI before prostate biopsy in patients with suspected organ-confined disease and using MRI-targeted sampling when suspicious lesions are identified.
This approach helps avoid treating a PSA number alone and provides the information needed to classify the tumour accurately before choosing surgery, radiotherapy, systemic therapy or active surveillance.
