  • Title: Grading of the prostate carcinoma: cyto-histological correlations on 100 cases.
    Author: Dalla Palma P, Dante S, Costantin G, Rebuffi A, Zattoni F, Piazza R.
    Journal: Histol Histopathol; 1986 Oct; 1(4):399-402. PubMed ID: 2485167.
    Abstract:
    From January 1980 to December 1983, 154 patients underwent prostatic FNAB and histological control. The sensitivity of cytology was 85%, the specificity 68% and the predictive value of positive cases 83%. The cyto-histological correlation of the grading of the 100 prostatic carcinomas histologically confirmed (85 cytologically positive for carcinoma and 15 negative or uncertain) showed a predictive value of positive results of 58%, ranging from 42% for G3, 50% for G1 and 69% for G2. The usefulness of cytological grading is stressed to monitor the follow-up of those patients treated for prostatic carcinoma who, because of the advanced stage or age, were not surgically treated.
