Evaluation of cytologic techniques for diagnosis of prostate cancer

R Sharifi et al. Urology. 1983 Apr.

Abstract

Two hundred forty-eight male patients seen on a urology service were diagnostically screened using four different cytologic tests for cancer of the prostate. The tests included voided urine cytology, prostate massage cytology, aspiration cytology, and postmassage urine cytology. The aspiration cytology was the most efficient screening test for the diagnosis of prostate malignancy.
