CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROSTATIC ADENOCARCINOMA IN MEN WITH ATYPICAL PROSTATE NEEDLE BIOPSIES

Men with an atypical diagnosis on prostate biopsy are significantly more likely to have carcinoma on rebiopsy than men with an initial negative diagnosis, and the second biopsy should be performed at a significantly shorter interval. The tumors that are subsequently identified in these men are similar to those identified in men without an atypical biopsy.
