Prostate cancer histology report
Präparat 1 (systematisch) zeigt drei Stanzzylinder der makroskopisch angegebenen Größe.
I am used to seeing "cores" for prostate biopsies. This text uses both the terms "Stanzen" and "Stanzencylinder". Are they the same thing? Are they punches or cores, or punch cylinders or core cylinders? What is the best and most common term for this in histology?

Punch biopsy specimen
A punch biopsy usually involves sampling a cylindrical piece of tissue. Core biopsies are also termed core needle biopsies so I would avoid that in this context.

core(s)
Both punch biopsies and core needle biopsies may be called "Stanzbiopsien" in German, where the former are for sampling superficial tissues (skin, sub/mucosa), the latter for deeper tissues.
Both punch biopsies and core needle biopsies will yield "Stanzen", where punches are usually broad and short, while cores are thin and long.
The term "Stanzzylinder" can be found in context with either punch biopsies or needle biopsies. My personal experience is that it is used more frequently with needle biopsies. The meaning is the same as "Stanze".
Prostate tissue is collected via needle biopsy; these "Stanzen" or "Stanzzylinder" would therefore be cores rather than punches.
"Core cylinders" is probably ok, but I have a feeling that this term is predominantly used by non-natives (being one of them myself, an English native should probably better comment on that).
