Abstract:
An incidental diagnosis of carcinoma is made in about 15% of patients undergoing transurethral or open surgery for prostatic adenoma. The importance of correct staging lies in the different clinical behaviors of the tumor according to the stage, which means that it will require different treatment. We present a review article on the diagnosis of residual neoplasia following transurethral resection of the prostate.
