Thirty prostatic carcinomas diagnosed simultaneously by fine needle aspiration cytology and punch biopsy were graded into three groups according to their cytological and histological appearances. Among them 23 carcinomas were graded equally by both methods. Cytological examination appears to be suitable for grading prostatic carcinoma, thus being a possible indicator of the patient's prognosis and response to hormonal therapy. In addition to the results obtained here, fine needle aspiration cytology has many advantages such as simplicity, quickness and safety. With increase of attention of urologists and pathologists to fine needle aspiration cytology, this evaluation will become comparable to the histological examination not only as a routine diagnostic tool.
通过细针穿刺细胞学检查和打孔活检同时诊断出的30例前列腺癌，根据其细胞学和组织学表现分为三组。其中23例癌在两种方法下分级相同。细胞学检查似乎适用于前列腺癌分级，因此可能是患者预后和对激素治疗反应的一个指标。除了本文获得的结果外，细针穿刺细胞学检查还有许多优点，如操作简单、快速和安全。随着泌尿外科医生和病理学家对细针穿刺细胞学检查的关注度增加，这种评估不仅作为一种常规诊断工具，将变得与组织学检查具有可比性。
