The researchers found that when a man's prostate tumor had a Gleason Score of 7 at the time of an MRI-guided biopsy, there was a three-and-a-half-times greater risk that the man would develop a higher-risk cancer compared to men who had a negative biopsy. (The Gleason Score is a ...
In the setting of Gleason score 4+3 or 4+4=8 cancer on at least 1 part, the extent of high-grade cancer could affect clinical treatment such that workup of other atypical possible high-grade cancer foci is justified. In the setting of Gleason score 4+3 or higher-grade cancer on at ...
However, the surgery for localized low-risk prostate cancer may not be the standard anymore due to the concern of overtreatment recently. On the other hand, regarding the treatment of high-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer, the role of surgery started to extend their territory....
New Orleans-It’s been said that the best treatment for low-risk prostate cancer is no treatment at all. A number of studies at the 2015 AUA annual meeting appeared to bear that out, showing active surveillance to be a safe and increasingly common approach in this patient population. The m...

Most of the patients (83.7%) had an intermediate- or high-grade tumor (Gleason ≥ 7). Five hundred-thirty patients were treated by RARP, while 188 patients were operated by LRP. Four hundred-forty patients (61.3%) received a nerve-sparing procedure, of which 372 procedures were ...
127 Background: In the US, most prostate cancers are treated with surgery or radiation, despite many having low malignant potential. If low cancer progression risk can be established, some men can be spared treatment. PSA, Gleason score ... B Abbott,R Concepcion,D Saltzstein,... - 《Journ...
