A Novel Approach for Performing Bone Marrow Aspiration at the Time of Radical Prostatectomy

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The bone marrow microenvironment represents a "metastatic niche" in which prostate cancer cells may persist and evade cytotoxic therapy. In order to study the biology of prostate cancer dissemination, we have established a safe and efficient method for performing pubic bone marrow aspiration at the time of radical prostatectomy. We herein describe our experience with this technique.
