Percentage of tumor in prostatectomy specimens: a study of American Veterans.
In this study, I have estimated the percentage of tumor by visual estimate in 447 prostatectomy specimens from American Veterans Affairs patients and related this measurement to overall survival. Although percentage of tumor was significantly related to the serum prostate-specific antigen level, tumor stage, and Gleason score-that is, it was not statistically independent from these-it was more ...
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 کاملTumor percentage but not number of tumor foci predicts disease-free survival after radical prostatectomy especially in high-risk patients.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the predictive value of tumor volume (TV), tumor percentage (TP), and number of tumor foci (NF) in patients with prostate cancer. The prognostic relevance of TV, TP, and NF as predictors of biochemical recurrence (BCR) following radical prostatectomy (RPE) is controversial. PATIENTS AND METHODS The cohort consisted of 758 referred subjects who underwent RPE between 2000 ...
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 کاملHuman cytomegalovirus infection in tumor specimens of Iranian patients with glioma
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) causes persistent infection in humans and severe diseases in fetus andimmunocompromised individuals. Although HCMV is not currently implicated in human cancer, emerging evidence suggests that HCMV infection might be specifically associated with some human malignancies including glioma. Glioma is one of the most common brain tumors affecting children and adults. In t...
