METHODS: A comprehensive screening of the current and past 5 years American Urological Association (AUA), European Association of Urology (EAU), and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines in prostate cancer was carried out to identify inconsistences and lack of recommendations regarding TP PBx. Statements were then formulated by members of the steering committee. International stakeholders were identified through a literature search on Scopus, focusing on authors with publications on TP PBx from 2019 to 2023. Additional stakeholders were recruited through snowball sampling. Statements were rated on a Likert scale from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree), and consensus was defined a priori as≥75% agreement (scores 1 "Strongly Agree" and 2 "Agree") per statement. A web-based Delphi survey was subsequently conducted. RESULTS: A total of 108 international stakeholders were invited, and 77 (71%) completed the survey. Most respondents were Urologists (88%) followed by interventional radiologists (6%). Among them, 60% reported performing over 200 PBx annually, with 85% performing over 100. Most respondents had their practices in North America (44%), followed by Europe (36%), Latin America (12%), and Asia (8%). Consensus was achieved in 30 out of the 66 statements (Tables 1 and 2). CONCLUSIONS: The current Delphi consensus addresses several unmet needs concerning guidance for best clinical practices in transperineal prostate biopsy while well-designed clinical trials are awaited.
