[Aspirative cytology of the prostate: its diagnostic usefulness and effect on care costs].
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.
