[Results of karyometry of acinar adenocarcinoma of the prostate].

The paper presents the results of karyometry of acinar adenocarcinoma of the prostate in the biopsy specimens with total Gleason scores of 6, 7, and 8-10. There are statistically significant differences in the morphometric characteristics of tumor cell nuclei (the long and short diameters of nuclei and nucleoli, their area and perimeter) in the biopsy specimens as compared with those with total Gleason scores of 6 and 7, as well as in those of the nucleoli as compared to those with total Gleason scores of 6 and 7 and 7 and 8-10. The findings suggest that there are karyometric differences in the cells of prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma in the groups with total Gleason scores of 6, 7, and 8-10.
