Abstract:Introduction: Prostate cancer has high prevalence and mortality among men. Some of the findings on prostate biopsy may be related to the prognosis of the disease. Objective: To evaluate the association between the percentage of fragments affected by cancer in the prostate biopsy and the pathological staging in the surgical specimen. Materials and methods: Selected 159 patients underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) between 2003 and 2009. Data was collected on age, digital rectal exam, prostate-specific antigen (… Show more
“…In the present issue of Jornal Brasileiro de Patologia e Medicina Laboratorial ( JBPML), Andrade et al convincingly show that the percentage of fragments with cancer in prostate needle biopsy is useful for predicting tumor extension in the radical prostatectomy specimen (1) . It is a simple and practical method, which may be used by all pathologists in daily practice.…”
