**Most SVI is by direct extension ~90%.
**Approximately 20% of patients with pT3x have SVI.
**Usually associated with a large tumour volume (22% versus 12%).
 
Microscopic:
*Tumour '''must''' be in the muscle surrounding the epithelial component; tumour in the adventitia (the loose connective tissue surrounding the seminal vesicles) does not count.<ref name=Ref_Lester3_409>{{Ref Lester3|409}}</ref><ref name=pmid20818343>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Berney | first1 = DM. | last2 = Wheeler | first2 = TM. | last3 = Grignon | first3 = DJ. | last4 = Epstein | first4 = JI. | last5 = Griffiths | first5 = DF. | last6 = Humphrey | first6 = PA. | last7 = van der Kwast | first7 = T. | last8 = Montironi | first8 = R. | last9 = Delahunt | first9 = B. | title = International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Consensus Conference on Handling and Staging of Radical Prostatectomy Specimens.

Notes:
*Invasion of the adventitia (only) would quality as EPE; this is, usually, T3a.
*Immunostains useful to separate prostate carcinoma from [[SV]] are discussed in the ''[[seminal vesicle]]'' article.
*It is not possible to differentiate the ''seminal vesicles'' and ''ejaculatory ducts'' based only on histology; thus, on biopsy one can generally comment only on ''seminal vesicle/ejaculatory duct invasion''.
