STAGING ERRORS IN PROSTATIC-CANCER JOURNAL OF UROLOGY Ray, P., Feinstein, C., Ray, V., Shaw, M., Sharifi, R., GUINAN, P. 1984; 132 (6): 1125-1126

Abstract

There is some question on the accuracy of staging in large epidemiological studies of prostatic cancer that rely on hospital tumor registry data. In an effort to assess the accuracy of tumor registry information in our institution registry staging was compared to surgical staging in 100 consecutive prostatic cancer patients. The tumor registry data had a 30 per cent understaging error. Other institutions may have the same problems.
