Extraprostatic extension extent [Type] of Prostate tumor

EPE extent PrT Ql

Definition

  • Categorization of the extent of extraprostatic extension (EPE) as focal or non-focal (also called established or extensive). The identification of any EPE is important since both focal and non-focal EPE are associated with a significantly higher risk of recurrence. [PMID: 9712429] This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Prostate Cancer (Radical Prostatectomy) Structured Reporting Protocol (2nd Edition, 2014) developed by the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) for structured reporting of prostate cancer.
