LA T.A.C. NELLO STUDIO DELLA PATOLOGIA PROSTATO-VESCICALE

Preoperative staging in vesical and prostatic neoplasms is of paramount importance either for the indication to the treatment or for the prognosis, as well as for retrospective evaluation of results. Besides clinical, radiological and endoscopic examination - already well known for their utility and limits now the use of ultrasound and computed tomography met a remarkable interest, especially for their high technology. The possibilities and utilities offered by C.T. in determinating the preoperative staging also in prostato-vesical neoplasms, are pointed out by the authors on the basis of their own casuistics: 72 cases of vesical neoplasms and 5 of prostatic neoplasms, who underwent computed tomography.
