Whole mount sections of the prostate are widely used in many laboratories. Macrocryosections of the gland; that is, whole mount frozen sections of the prostate from radical prostatectomies represent a useful new research protocol. The technique is very simple and does not require expensive equipment.

Key Words: macrocryosection • whole mount • prostate
