  • Title: [Comparison of cytology and microhistology in ultrasonic_guided fine-needle biopsy of the prostate].
    Author: Antico E, Busilacchi P, Candelari R, Cavalli ML, Maggi G.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1990; 79(1-2):83-6. PubMed ID: 1690439.
    Abstract:
    The authors performed US-guided biopsy on 30 consecutive patients with prostatic masses of an undefined nature. Two samples were taken from each patient, one using an aspirating needle and another using a cutting needle. The two techniques proved to be quite complementary, even in the light of subsequent diagnostic follow-ups. Moreover, the possibility of comparing the cytological findings with the pathologic ones, with a "double blind" technique, greatly increased bioptic reliability.
