Univariate analysis showed that retrolaminar optic nerve invasion, optic nerve cut margin involvement, scleral invasion, undifferentiated tumor greater than 60%, and high pathologic stage were significant pathologic risk factors that could predict the occurrence of an event and were correlated with survival.

16-18) However, uniform agreement on the need for chemotherapy with the other forms of risk factors, such as massive choroidal invasion or retrolaminar invasion without cut margin involvement, has not yet been achieved.

Consequently, it has been difficult for pathologists to identify prostate cancers during gross examination and to sample tissues for microscopic examination of important prognostic information, such as the Gleason score, stage, extraprostatic extension, and resection margin involvement.

4,5,7-9) These partial sampling methods were able to reduce the number of paraffin blocks; however, they were at the expense of losing the important prognostic information, especially T stage, extraprostatic extension, and resection margin involvement status.
