On your pathology report, you will get a Gleason score (also called a Gleason sum), which is the sum of the scores for the two areas that make up most of the cancer cells in your biopsy sample. This helps your doctor predict how likely your prostate cancer is to grow and spread, ...
screening to see if cancer is present is still important. If the doctor suspects cancer, then he may decide to proceed with a prostate biopsy. We recognize that not all patients need to be treated if they have prostate cancer. For example, an elderly patient...

A total of 25 biopsy tissue extracts were used as a discovery sample set. 50 μL of re-dissolved extract from each sample was mixed to form a pooled sample which was labeled by 13C-dansyl chloride. This 13C-labeled pooled sample was stored at −80 °C and used as the universa...
In this sample of 110 French and Belgian urologists there was high variability in the way clinicians use prostate needle biopsy pathology report. Results of this survey should improve communication between urologists and pathologists and should help evaluate what data should be included in routine ...
Given the complexities of tumor heterogeneity and molecular evolution during the duration of treatment, a tissue biopsy sample may not be a true representation of the molecular profile of the individual patient. Liquid biopsy may represent the final frontier of non-invasive methods to detect and ...
