The Need for Simulators for Training Urologists-Oncologists in Prostate Biopsy Techniques

Abstract

Based on an analysis of scientific publications over the past ten years, a significant gap was identified in the training of urologists and oncologists for this procedure due to the lack of specialized simulators. Existing training devices most often focus on ultrasound diagnostic skills, while hands-on training in biopsy techniques is underdeveloped. Thus, the urgent task is to develop and implement simulators that facilitate comprehensive preparation for pancreatic biopsy, which will help improve the quality of medical care for patients with cancer.
