Popis: system was proposed was attended by several of us. The naming of the system was a contentious issue and is not yet fully resolved, as emphasized by the Letter, but there was little disagreement among participants about its value or validity. As editors and as practitioners caring for patients with prostate cancer, we believe that the new system for grouping of Gleason grade has clinical and pragmatic merit. Accordingly, we have encouraged our authors to use the new grouping in submitted manuscripts. This should help provide clarity, and better comparative assessment of outcomes and treatment results. Nevertheless, we recognize that little in scientific publishing is static, and ongoing study and novel analyses will likely result in further modifications. The exact name used for the system, while important for reference and consistency, is not within our purview to decide, and we await wider discussion in the prostate cancer community, particularly among the pathologists, for a final consensus on that issue.
