The conference topics were preparation of specimens, the T2 subclassification, prostate cancer volume, extraprostatic tumor extent, lymphovascular invasion, seminal vesicle infiltration, lymph node metastases and surgical margins. This review article presents the essential results and recommendations of this conference.
