Incidental Carcinoma of the Prostate: Complete Examination of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia Tissue

  • Conference paper
Incidental Carcinoma of the Prostate

Abstract

The incidental carcinoma of the prostate has been primarily classified by Whitmore [41] as Stage A tumor. Later on Jewett [17] because of its large range and different predictability divided the Stage A in Al, or focal, and A2, or diffuse. This splitting has proven of less clinical utility than originally hoped because univocal criteria for the distinction have not been outlined. Suggested definitions for the focal tumor have included the following features: whitin three or five foci, whitin 5% of the surgical specimen, whitin the size of 1 cm3, whitin 5 or 10 mm of its main diameter [2].
