Comparison of Pathological and Oncologic Outcomes of Favorable Risk Gleason Score 3+4 and Low Risk Gleason Score 6 Prostate Cancer: Considerations for Active Surveillance

摘要

Purpose: Recent NCCN (R) (National Comprehensive Cancer Network (R)) Guidelines (R) show that patients with biopsy Gleason score 3 + 4/Grade Group 2 but otherwise favorable features are active surveillance candidates. However, little is known about the long-term outcomes compared to that in men in the low risk Gleason score 6/Grade Group 1 group. We sought to clarify the risk of adverse features and oncologic outcomes in surgically treated, favorable Grade Group 2 vs 1 cases.
