Abstract
Staging of prostatic adenocarcinoma is a systematic classification of the extent of disease based on clinical and pathologic criteria. This classification determines treatment and reflects ultimate expected clinical outcome. The technologic changes in diagnostic modalities need to be incorporated into the staging classification and a better assessment of biologic hazard of each individual tumor needs to be developed to further refine current treatment of prostate cancer.
