Reports from R. Kvåle and co-researchers add new data to research in biopsy

Researchers detail in 'Concordance between Gleason scores of needle biopsies and radical prostatectomy specimens: a population-based study,' new data in biopsy. According to a study from Oslo, Norway, "To study the concordance between the Gleason scores of needle biopsies and radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens in a population-based registry, to clarify whether the concordance depends on the annual number of RP specimens assessed in the pathology unit, and to identify preoperative clinical factors that predict upgrading from a Gleason score of <or=6 in the biopsy to >or=7 in the RP specimen.
