Material And Methods: Thirty-five needle biopsies from patients with prostate cancer (PC) aged 60 to 75 years were investigated. The morphologic parameters examined on histological specimens were: microscopic patterns, Gleason's histological grades (GLG), and AgNOR scores by automated image analyzer and quantitative AgNOR counts according to the classification, fine granules, large granules, and total granule counts.
