A calculated measurement in which the area of the ventral lobe of the prostate gland occupied by tumorous lesions is divided by the total area of the ventral lobe of the prostate gland, and the result presented as a ratio, fraction, quotient or percentage. A tumorous lesion is one which is or has the potential to become a tumor, that is, a neoplasm or new growth of tissue in which cell multiplication is more or less uncontrolled and progressive.
