Gleason’s Grading of Carcinoma Prostate with PSA Correlation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Serum PSA levels have been linked directly to a number of important prognosticators in the prostate gland including histologic grade. The present study has been undertaken on cases of carcinoma prostate, whose trucut needle biopsy is evaluated with Gleason grading, scoring and subsequently correlated with pretreatment PSA levels. Methods: The study was conducted in a teritiary health care centre over a span of two years on patients with symptoms of prostatism or that of metastatic prostatic malignancy such as back pain. Digital rectal examination (DRE) and serum PSA estimation followed by transrectal prostatic biopsy was done. Micromorphometric analysis of obtained material was done on standard haematoxylin and eosin (H and E) preparations. Determination of differentiation of tumor was performed using Gleason grading. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed using “SPSS package”. To assess the correlation and prediction of Gleason’s primary grade with PSA and Gleason’s total score with PSA, regression and correlation analysis was done Results: The most common pattern seen was Gleason grade 3 and the least common was Gleason grade 1. There is a statistically significant correlation between serum PSA with Gleason’s primary grade and score Conclusions: Carcinoma of prostate associated with an elevated serum PSA level is more likely to be of higher grade than carcinoma with normal PSA levels.
