title: Hematologic screening tests in patients with operative prostatic disease.
abstract: One hundred sixty-five patients with operative prostatic disease were investigated for hematologic abnormalities. The tests were useful in the clinical management of 6 (3.7 per cent) patients. Preoperative hematologic screening tests are recommended in patients with prostatic cancer, potential sepsis, and in patients with a known bleeding tendency.
