| **The prostate should be painted -- to mark the margins.

| **Sectioning should be done after fixation.

| **The prostate should be weighted after trimming the seminal vesicles.

| **The apex of the prostate and the bladder neck should be sliced-off, sagittally sectioned, and submitted separately on edge (to assess the margin).
