Presence of invasive cribriform or intraductal growth at biopsy outperforms percentage grade 4 in predicting outcome of Gleason score 3+4=7 prostate cancer

Relative increase of grade 4 and presence of invasive cribriform and/or intraductal carcinoma have individually been associated with adverse outcome of Gleason score 7 (GS 7) prostate cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the relation of Gleason grade 4 tumor percentage (%GG4) and i...

Description
Summary:Relative increase of grade 4 and presence of invasive cribriform and/or intraductal carcinoma have individually been associated with adverse outcome of Gleason score 7 (GS 7) prostate cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the relation of Gleason grade 4 tumor percentage (%GG4) and invasive cribriform and/or intraductal carcinoma in GS 3+4=7 prostate cancer biopsies. We reviewed 1031 prostate cancer biopsies from the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer. In total 370 men had G3+4=7. The relation of invasive cribriform and/or intraductal carcinoma and %GG4 with biochemical recurrence-free survival (BCRFS) after radical prostatectomy (n=146) and radiation therapy (n=195) was analyzed using Cox regression. Invasive cribriform and/or intraductal carcinoma occurred in 7/121 (6%) patients with 1–10% GG4, 29/131 (22%) with 10–25%, and 52/118 (44%) with 25–50% GG4 (P
