In this study, we developed a prototype interstitial all-optical needle photoacoustic (PA) sensing probe for clinical translation. The performance of the PA needle probe was examined with intact human prostates ex vivo in a simulated transrectal ultrasound (US) guided transperineal prostate biopsy procedure. PA spectrum analysis shows statistical difference between the measurements acquired in benign and cancerous regions (n=49, p<0.05). Multivariate analysis using all quantitative measurements can obtain an accuracy close to 90%.
