Histopathologic Type This classification applies to adenocarcinomas and squamous carcinomas, but not to sarcoma transitional cell carcinoma of the prostate. Adjectives used to describe variants of prostate adenocarcinomas include mucinous, signet ring cell, ductal, adenosquamous and neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma. Transitional cell (urothelial) carcinoma of the prostate is classified as a urethral tum. There should be histologic confirmation of the disease. Histopathologic Grade (G) Gleason sce is recommended because as the grading system of choice, it takes into account the inherent mphologic heterogeneity of prostate cancer, and several studies have clearly established its prognostic value. A primary and a secondary pattern (the range of each is 1 5) are assigned and then summed to yield a total sce. Sces of 2 10 are thus theetically possible. The vast majity of newly diagnosed needle biopsy detected prostate cancers are graded Gleason sce 6 above. (If a single pattern of disease is seen, it should be repted as both grades. F example, if a single focus of Gleason pattern 3 disease is seen, it is repted as Gleason sce = 6.) In a radical prostatectomy, if a tertiary pattern is present, it is commented upon but not reflected in the Gleason sce. It is recommended that radical prostatectomy specimens should be processed in an ganized fashion where a determination can be made of a dominant nodule separate tum nodules. If a dominant nodule/s is present, the Gleason sce of this nodule should be separately mentioned as this nodule is often the focus with highest grade and/ stage of disease. Gleason X Gleason sce cannot be processed Gleason 6 Gleason 7 Gleason 8-10 Well differentiated (slight anaplasia) Moderately differentiated (moderate anaplasia) Poly differentiated/undifferentiated (marked anaplasia) Used with the permission of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), Chicago, Illinois.
