   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.

   What is a good Gleason score for cancer?

   • Overall, Gleason scores of 5 or lower are not used. The lowest Gleason score is 6, which is a low-grade cancer. A Gleason score of 7 is a medium-grade cancer, and a score of 8, 9, or 10 is a high-grade cancer. A lower-grade cancer grows more slowly and is less likely to spread than a high-grade cancer.

   Learn how the Gleason Score, a system that grades prostate cancer cells based on their appearance under a microscope, is used to stage your cancer and predict its risk of recurrence. Find out how the Grade Group system, a simpler and more reliable system, replaces the Gleason Score and how it works with other factors such as PSA, T stage, and Grade Group.

   Gleason score is a term used to grade prostate cancer based on how abnormal the cancer looks under the microscope. It is assigned by adding the grades of the 2 areas that make up most of the tumor. The Gleason score can range from 2 to 10, with higher scores indicating more aggressive cancers. The grade group is a way to categorize the Gleason score into low-grade, intermediate-grade, or high-grade.
