Evaluating prostate needle biopsy: therapeutic and prognostic importance

D. G. Bostwick
Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.

Strategies for sampling the prostate are being refined, which will increase the diagnostic yield. In combination with other clinical factors, the pathologic findings obtained from the biopsy specimen provide enhanced predictive accuracy for stage and individual outcome.
