Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A refined procedure for CT was evaluated as a staging procedure in 19 patients with localized prostatic carcinoma. The CT images were compared to histopathologic whole-mount step sections of the surgical specimens. Fourteen of the patients had pathologic stage T3 (pT3) and 5 had stage pT2 giving a prevalence of extracapsular growth of 0.74. The CT images were read by 2 radiologists independently with a diagnostic accuracy of 0.37 for both observers. This is no better than in previous studies using a routine CT procedure. We conclude that CT is of little value in the staging protocol for the local extent of prostatic carcinoma before radical prostatectomy. |
