What is Histopathological examination of Prostate Chips (Tur-P)?
This test involves a microscopic examination of small tissue fragments, known as "chips," removed from the prostate during a Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) procedure. It helps assess the prostate tissue for abnormalities.
Why is this test important?
Crucial for diagnosing prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or inflammation. The findings guide further management, including treatment for BPH or staging and treatment planning for prostate cancer.
How to Prepare
No special preparation is required from the patient for the histopathological examination itself, as the tissue specimen is collected during a surgical procedure.
