Role of Pathology in the Multidisciplinary Management of Patients with Prostate Cancer

摘要: A problem when handling radical prostatectomy specimens (RPS) is that prostate cancer notoriously difficult to identify at gross examination, and the tumor extent always underestimated by naked eye. For pathologist, safest method avoid undersampling of entire submitted. Even though whole mounts sections from RPS appear not be superior standard blocks in detecting adverse pathological features, their use has great advantage displaying architecture identification location tumour nodules more clearly, make it easier compare findings with those obtained digital rectal examination (DRE), transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsies.
