The patient with incidentally discovered prostate cancer by transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) presents a difficult management problem for the clinician. These tumors are small and generally of low biologic potential. Offering aggressive treatment is not necessary in most patients; though in some patients, the tumor is not organ confined. Selecting that patient who may require tumor eradication to optimize survival requires careful analysis of known histological parameters identified at the time of diagnosis, an estimation of projected individual survival, and extensive counseling regarding options.
经尿道前列腺电切术（TURP）偶然发现前列腺癌的患者给临床医生带来了棘手的管理难题。这些肿瘤较小，通常生物学潜能较低。对大多数患者而言，无需采取积极治疗；不过，部分患者的肿瘤并非局限于器官内。要挑选出可能需要根除肿瘤以优化生存的患者，需要仔细分析诊断时确定的已知组织学参数，预估个体预期生存情况，并就各种选择进行充分的咨询。
