Popis: | The presence of a tertiary Gleason grade (TGG) pattern 4 or 5 in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens has been reported with adverse pathology and a higher biochemical relapse rate after RP. This study investigated the impact of a TGG pattern 4 or 5 on biochemical and pathological outcome in men operated with RP.The study reviewed 151 consecutive cases treated at the hospital between 1985 and 2006; 148 were included in the study. All prostatectomy specimens were re-examined by a genitourinary pathologist and among others parameters the presence of TGG pattern 4 or 5 was recorded. The hospital files were examined retrospectively for clinical follow-up data. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse was defined as two subsequent rising measurements above 0.20 ng/ml. The influence of a TGG pattern 4 or 5 on prognosis was assessed in a Cox proportional hazards regression model controlling for pathological stage, surgical margin (SM) status, seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) and extraprostatic extension (EPE).Fifty-six patients (38%) experienced PSA relapse during follow-up. Twenty-one patients (58%) with a TGG pattern 4 or 5 had a biochemical relapse compared with 35 patients (31%) without TGG pattern 4 or 5. In the Cox regression model, TGG pattern 4 or 5 was an independent predictor of biochemical failure (p = 0.020).In patients undergoing RP the presence of a TGG pattern 4 or 5 is an independent predictor for biochemical relapse. Consequently, the RP specimens should routinely be investigated for TGG pattern 4 or 5. |
