[Prognostic significance of clinical and morphological parameters in prostate cancer].
In 269 patients with carcinoma of the prostate, a retrospective statistical evaluation was done to correlate prognosis with different clinical and morphological criteria. All prostate biopsies were reviewed, the clinical staging redone and compared to survival of the patients. The most reliable criteria for prognostic prediction are clinical staging (rectal palpation, radiological examination and prostatic acid phosphatase). The morphologic parameters (histologic type of tumor, perineural invasion and perifocal inflammation) are of additional but of limited value.
