Histological quality assessment of donated livers is a key factor for extending the cadaveric donor pool for liver transplantation. We retrospectively compared frozen-section analysis with routine histological permanent slides and the outcomes of grafts in liver biopsies from 294 candidate donors. T
## BACKGROUND. The use of radical prostatectomy in the treatment of prostate cancer has increased with the advent of prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening. Few series have examined the relapse rates after prostatectomy relative to pre-treatment prognostic factors, such as preoperative PSA and G
Twenty-one cases showing only low Gleason grade prostate carcinoma on needle biopsy were identified. In 15 cases radical prostatectomy was performed with the entire prostate embedded for thorough evaluation of grade, volume, and stage of tumor at the needle biopsy site as well as of multifocal tumor
