Measuring inter-individual differences in stress sensitivity during MR-guided prostate biopsy

Abstract People often experience high level of distress during invasive interventions, which may exceed their coping abilities. This may be in particular evident when confronted with the suspicion of cancer. Taking the example of prostate biopsy sampling, we aimed at investigating the impact of an M...
