[PDF][PDF] Correlation between prostate volume and Gleason score in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. A 2-year hospital based study
ABSTRACT Introduction: Prostate cancer (Pca) is a disease that commonly afflicts elderly
male population especially those of African descent. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by
microscopic examination of prostate tissue sample. Gleason system of grading Pca is widely
adopted as a guide to selecting treatment modalities as an independent prognostic factor. In
this study, we aimed at evaluating the relationship between prostate volume (PV) and
Gleason score (GS) in prostate cancer patients. Material and Methods: One hundred (100) …

Abstract
Introduction: Prostate cancer (Pca) is a disease that commonly afflicts elderly male population especially those of African descent. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by microscopic examination of prostate tissue sample. Gleason system of grading Pca is widely adopted as a guide to selecting treatment modalities as an independent prognostic factor. In this study, we aimed at evaluating the relationship between prostate volume (PV) and Gleason score (GS) in prostate cancer patients.
Material and Methods: One hundred (100) male patients who were evaluated for Pca between January 2014 and December 2015 were studied. Information from their case notes were retrieved and entered into spread sheets for analysis using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20.0.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.88+ 8.83 years ranging from 48 to 91 years. Mean prostate volume was 95.97
+ 93.52 mls, mean Gleason score was 7.89+ 1.20 while mean PSA of 56.33+ 38.99 ng/ml was recorded. Most of the patients were in their 8th decade of life. Majority of them had PV in excess of 100mls and Gleason score of 9 was found in patients with mean PV of 120.98+ 133.23 mls.
Conclusion: Our work documented mixed results of high grade tumours observed in most patients, prostate size notwithstanding. This study predicts high grade disease in our cohort of patients irrespective of prostate size.
