Cancer pathology reports are expected to contain all information required for patient
management and disease surveillance. Moreover, reports for patients with prostate cancer have become increasingly
complex with the addition of more pathological details. This study aimed to compare narrative and synoptic
prostate cancer reports for core needle biopsies received at a tertiary hospital in Nigeria in order to determine
which form was most complete according to international standards.
