Does anyone know exactly how these autopsies are being performed? I am
assuming that they do serial slices of the prostate, then examine those
slides for evidence of prostate cancer. Clearly, this will enable them
to examine more cells than what is covered by a biopsy. However, has
anyone ever taken the effort in an autopsy to examine all of the
millions of cells of the prostate to see if any men over the age of 20
are totally free of prostate cancer?
