Prostate cambial (stem)-zone and microcarcinoma: immunohistochemical and morphometric study approach.
30 surgically removed prostates were selected out of 200 for comparative histological, immunohistochemical and morphometric studies. The presence or the absence of keratin and the mean nuclear area of nuclear profiles are the main differential criteria in distinguishing atypical hyperplasia (cambial zone) from benign prostatic hyperplasia, microcarcinoma and other prostatic cancers.
