How Are Gleason Scores Categorized in the Current Literature: An Analysis and Comparison of Articles Published in 2016–2017

ConclusionsThere is still wide variation in how GSs are grouped world-wide. Only a minority of published articles group GSs accurately.Patient summaryIn this report, we looked at how GSs were grouped world-wide. We found that only a minority of published articles on prostate cancer were grouping GSs accurately, which could lead to inaccurate results and affect patient care with different prostate cancer grades. Our study calls for more widespread adoption of the new prostate cancer grading system composed of five grade groups to minimize incorrect grouping for future studies.
