The prostate cancer diagnosis is based on the triptych:
High PIN, coexists with prostate cancer at a rate ranging from 50% to 85%, while the low PIN levels indicate a 20% prostate cancer incidence.
In case of a positive biopsy, further information will be rquired regarding the exact type, character and the “severity” of cancer:
The percentage of cancer is calculated within the microporous rolls received from the biopsy sample. The steps that direct the specialized urologist to further examining steps is the malignancy degree. Malignancy degree is expressed in Gleason units and is classified into units (score) ranging from 2 to 10.
Thus, Gleason score in relation to PSA levels consist the key elements that determine the prognosis of prostate cancer. The Gleason score of >6 is usually considered as a mild degree of cancer malignancy, with optimistic perspective. Gleason score of 7 or more indicates aggressive prostate cancer.
If a prostate biopsy confirms the cancer existence, the next step is to determine malignancy degree or cancer aggressiveness. In other words, we estimate how fast cancer may expand.
Tumor cells may vary in shape and size. Some cells may be aggressive, but others may not. Biopathologist will determine the two greatest lesions that contain tumor cells. In these regions most aggressive forms of cancer cells will provide the degree of prostate cancer grade. The most common malignancy grade of prostate cancer cells ranges between 1 and 5, i.e. 1 is the least aggressive cancer.
Gleason score may also help determine the best form of therapy for each patient.
