[Locoregional staging of prostatic neoplasms by extemporaneous histological examination of pelvic lymph nodes].
Pelvic lymphadenectomy prior to radical prostatectomy is essential to detect lymph nodal extension of prostatic cancer. Accuracy obtained by means of frozen section examination of the nodes is particularly favourable. Frozen sections correspond to paraffin sections in 100% of the cases. Authors' experience in 42 consecutive patients candidates to radical prostatic procedure is herein presented.
