    Author: Cervell Ferrón JM, Cuevas de Aldasoro ML, García Pérez R, Chacón Gómez E, Lescure del Río S, Pérez-Guillermo García M.
    Journal: Actas Urol Esp; 1989; 13(1):28-31. PubMed ID: 2652993.
    Abstract:
    In order to verify the practical usefulness and certain features of puncture-aspiration with fine needle of the prostate gland, a study and evaluation of our personal experience on 400 cytological samples was undertaken. A cyto-histological correlation was done on 130 of them. Excellent results were obtained relating sensitivity (97.14%), specificity (98.33%), efficacy (97.69%) and predictability indices. It was concluded that this was a non-aggressive, simple and quick procedure, which proved to be very economical and with a high degree of diagnostic accuracy.
