Prostate biopsy 1999: strategies and significance of pathological findings
Semin Urol Oncol.
1999 Nov.
Abstract
Needle biopsy of the prostate plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and prediction of outcome. Strategies for sampling the prostate are being refined, which is increasing the diagnostic yield. In combination with other clinical factors, the pathological findings obtained from the biopsy specimen will provide enhanced predictive accuracy for stage and individual outcome.
