## BACKGROUND. Tumor volume in radical prostatectomies can be determined by several different techniques and appears to predict clinical progression. Greatest tumor dimension and area are easily obtained measures that are both correlated with tumor volume. The authors sought to determine whether g

## Background: The accumulation of chromogranin a (chr a) and cathepsin d (cath d) gene products may be important in prostate carcinoma progression. this study assessed whether the levels of immunoreactivity for chr a and cath d are better predictors of disease specific survival than conventional p
