  2. High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-grade_prostatic...

    There are several reasons why PIN is the most likely prostate cancer precursor. [3] PIN is more common in men with prostate cancer. High grade PIN can be found in 85 to 100% of radical prostatectomy specimens, [4] nearby or even in connection with prostate cancer. It tends to occur in the peripheral zone of the prostate.

  3. Histopathologic diagnosis of prostate cancer - Wikipedia

    A pragmatic approach would be to recommend radical therapy only for extensive pure IDCP that is morphologically unequivocal for high-grade prostate cancer. [20] Active surveillance is not appropriate when low-grade invasive cancer is associated with IDCP, as such patients usually have unsampled high-grade prostatic adenocarcinoma. [20]

    Over treatment is most likely to occur when a low grade prostate cancer is detected, especially in an older man. Data from various sources suggest that in the PSA range where many men are undergoing prostate biopsy today (PSA 2-4 ng/ml), 15-25% will have prostate cancer detected, and 80-90% will be low grade. [20] [21]

  5. Grading (tumors) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grading_(tumors)

    Grading in cancer is distinguished from staging, which is a measure of the extent to which the cancer has spread. Pathology grading systems classify the microscopic cell appearance abnormality and deviations in their rate of growth with the goal of predicting developments at tissue level (see also the 4 major histological changes in dysplasia ).

  6. Gleason grading system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleason_grading_system

    For example, if the primary tumor grade was 2 and the secondary tumor grade was 3 but some cells were found to be grade 4, the Gleason score would be 2+4=6. This is a slight change from the pre-2005 Gleason system where the second number was the secondary grade (i.e., the grade of the second-most common cell line pattern).

  7. Prostate cancer staging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostate_cancer_staging

    Prostate cancer staging is the process by which physicians categorize the risk of cancer having spread beyond the prostate, or equivalently, the probability of being cured with local therapies such as surgery or radiation. Once patients are placed in prognostic categories, this information can contribute to the selection of an optimal approach ...

  8. Prostate cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostate_cancer

    Prostate cancer is a major topic of ongoing research. From 2016 to 2020, over $1.26 billion was invested in prostate cancer research, representing around 5% of global cancer research funds. [122] This places prostate cancer 10th among 18 common cancer types in funding per cancer death, and 9th in funding per disability-adjusted life year lost ...

  9. Perineural invasion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perineural_invasion

    In prostate cancer, PNI in needle biopsies is poor prognosticator; [2] however, in prostatectomy specimens it is unclear whether it carries a worse prognosis. [4]In one study, PNI was found in approximately 90% of radical prostatectomy specimens, and PNI outside of the prostate, especially, was associated with a poorer prognosis. [5]
