Micro-Focal Prostate Cancer: A Comparison of Biopsy and Radical Prostatectomy Specimen Features

To study the pathologic features of radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens of patients operated on the basis of a potentially “Insignificant” prostate cancer (Ca P) characterized by one single focus (less than 3mm) of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma – Gleason score ≤6, out of 6–10 biopsies an...

Summary:To study the pathologic features of radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens of patients operated on the basis of a potentially “Insignificant” prostate cancer (Ca P) characterized by one single focus (less than 3mm) of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma – Gleason score ≤6, out of 6–10 biopsies and to determine which characteristics, if any, are predictive of the presence of a “non significant” prostate cancer in the specimen characterized by a low volume (
