adenocarcinoma. _J. Urol._ 182, 485–490 (2009). Patients with a diagnosis of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) on initial prostatic needle biopsy are at greater risk for


subsequent prostatic adenocarcinoma than those with a benign diagnosis, a new study reveals. “This risk is most significant when the HGPIN is multifocal,” says co-investigator Jennifer


Merrimen from the Queen Elizabeth II Health Science Center, Canada. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
