    Prognosis for prostate carcinoma patients significantly improves when pathologists report on cell borders and lymphocytic infiltration. Indistinct cell borders and lack of lymphocytic infiltration indicate a poor prognosis for prostate cancer.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Prognostic factors for prostatic carcinoma are crucial for patient management.
    • Morphologic features are increasingly recognized for their predictive value in cancer outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To correlate specific morphologic features of prostatic carcinoma with 5-year survival rates.
    • To identify key histopathological indicators of prognosis in prostate cancer.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of morphologic features in 146 cases of prostatic carcinoma.
    • Correlation of features with 5-year survival using simple probability and adjusted statistical tests.

    Main Results:

    • Presence or absence of cell borders and lymphocytic infiltration were significant prognostic indicators.

  • McNeal's typing and nuclear pleomorphism did not show significant prognostic value after adjustment.
  • Prostate tumors with indistinct cell borders and no lymphocytic infiltration showed a very poor prognosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pathologists should report on cell borders and lymphocytic infiltration for prostate carcinoma prognosis.
    • These two factors are critical for predicting patient survival in prostate cancer.
    • Identifying tumors with indistinct cell borders and absent lymphocytic infiltration aids in early risk stratification.
