title: Prognostic value of poorly differentiated prostatic adenocarcinoma.
abstract: One hundred patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma surgically staged were evaluated. Their clinical stage and surgical findings were assessed especially with respect to their original histopathologic grading. It was found that patients with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the prostate presented with advanced clinical stage and were at high risk of distant metastases developing within a short time after their initial diagnosis and treatment.
