Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Verona in Italy examined the prognostic impact and clinical implications of adverse tumor grade in low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The study analyzed data from 289 patients and found that adverse tumor grade was a significant predictor of disease progression, with a stronger association than biopsy ISUP grade group 2. The researchers concluded that active surveillance in very favorable intermediate-risk patients is risky and emphasized the need for molecular and genetic testing of biopsy specimens. This information is valuable for individuals researching prostate cancer treatment options. [Extracted from the article]
