Individual differences in proportion of stroma, epithelium, and luminal space components prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may explain the differences in clinical outcome of the patients treated with alpha-reductase inhibitors or alpha-blocking agents and other alternative treatments. Knowledge of the individual proportions of these elements may orient the clinician toward different therapeutic approaches. To determine whether a single prostate biopsy is representative of the whole adenoma, using quantitative morphometry, we have compared the percentage of smooth muscle cells and glandular cells in one prostate needle biopsy and in the corresponding prostate adenoma removed by open surgery.
