ABSTRACT:
A method for estimating the biologic potential of prostate carcinoma in a patient is disclosed, comprising the steps of (a) obtaining a tissue sample of prostate carcinoma from a patient, and (b) quantifying the vascularity of the tissue sample, and therefrom estimating the metastatic potential of the prostate carcinoma. Also disclosed is a method for estimating the biologic potential of a selected carcinoma in a patient, comprising the steps of (a) obtaining a biopsy specimen from a carcinoma by needle biopsy, and (b) quantifying the vascularity of the biopsy specimen, and therefrom estimating biologic potential of the selected carcinoma.
