Radical prostatectomy specimens – a voice against focal therapy
INTRODUCTION The main treatment methods of prostate carcinoma are surgery and radiation therapy, both having serious side effects. Because of these side effects, the idea of organ preserving therapy emerged. Rationale to perform focal therapy is to preserve the prostate gland, along with potency and continence, offering good cancer control with appropriate treatment. The idea of gland sparing t...
متن کاملCorrelation between Gleason scores in needle biopsy and corresponding radical prostatectomy specimens. A twelve-year review.
Background: Presence of discordance between the Gleason score on needle biopsy and the score of radical prostatectomy specimen is common and universal. In this study, we determined the accuracy of Gleason grading of biopsies in predicting histological grading of radical prostatectomy specimens and the degree of overgrading and undergrading of prostatic adenocarcinoma i...
متن کاملHandling of radical prostatectomy specimens: total or partial embedding?
AIMS Proper examination and accurate reporting of radical prostatectomy specimens (RPS) is essential in determining post-surgical treatment and predicting patient outcome. Surveys have demonstrated the absence of consensus on handling of RPS. The aim of this study was to determine whether significant information is lost when only half the horizontal tissue sections are examined. METHODS AND R...
متن کاملAnatomic Pathology / PREDICTING TUMOR VOLUME IN RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY SPECIMENS
Tumor volume has prognostic value in numerous malignant neoplasms; however, the determination of tumor volume in prostatic adenocarcinoma remains problematic. We tested the hypothesis that the diameter of the largest focus of carcinoma in whole-mount prostate sections predicts the volume of adenocarcinoma in the entire prostate. We evaluated 184 radical prostatectomy specimens by whole-mount pr...
متن کاملFocal laser ablation for prostate cancer followed by radical prostatectomy: validation of focal therapy and imaging accuracy.
An increased incidence of low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) has led investigators to develop focal therapy as a management option for PCa. We evaluated the effects of focal laser ablation (FLA) on PCa tissue and the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in determining ablated lesion volume by comparing the whole-mount histology and MRI in four patients that underwent FLA followed by radical...
