Discordance between location of positive cores in biopsy and location of positive surgical margin following radical prostatectomy.

CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that one fourth of PSM occurred at location where tumor was not detected at biopsy and that apex PSM had highest rate of discordant. Careful dissection to avoid PSM should be performed in every location, including where tumor was not identified in biopsy. PMID: 26495072 [PubMed - in process]
