   What is a Gleason score for prostate cancer?

   • Since prostate cancers often have areas with different grades, a grade is assigned to the 2 areas that make up most of the cancer. These 2 grades are added to yield the Gleason score (also called the Gleason sum ). The first number assigned is the grade that is most common in the tumor.

   What does a Gleason score 6 cancer mean?

   • A patient with a Gleason score 6 cancer might assume that his cancer is in the middle of the range of grades (which in theory go from 2 to 10), even though grade 6 cancers are actually the lowest grade seen in practice. This might add to their worry about the cancer and make them more likely to feel that they need to be treated right away.

   How does a Gleason score affect cancer risk?

   • Pathologists also consider the individual grades that make up the sum when determining the overall aggressiveness of the disease. For example, a Gleason score of 4+3=7 (where the primary pattern is grade 4) indicates a higher-risk cancer than 3+4=7 (where the primary pattern is grade 3) because more of the cancer cells are grade 4 than grade 3.

   If there are any tissue pieces that have cancer cells, the pathologist will give a Gleason grade and score (discussed below). The report will also say how much of the sample had cancer cells. While all reports will have this information, the words they use may be different. To help you read your report, let’s go through each of these sections.
