Abstract
This work aims to present the advantages of histological processing using whole-mount sections (WMS) and to compare it with other methods commonly used for evaluation of tissue removed during the course of a radical prostatectomy (RP). Material and methods: All cases of carcinoma of the prostate, treated by radical prostatectomy, and processed using WMS, August 2009 to March 2013 were histologically re-evaluated.
The following parameters were analyzed: histological type, Gleason score, presence of a tumour in the apex, multicentricity, infiltration of the seminal vesicles, presence of positive resection margins and extracapsular extension.
