“…12 The Gleason score (GS) of prostate biopsy specimens diagnosed by pathologists is of crucial importance to assess aggressiveness of PCa; however, several studies revealed discrepancies of GS between biopsy specimens and the corresponding radical prostatectomy specimens. 13 This leads to a large number of overtreatment of indolent PCa. Therefore, development of effective tools for diagnosis and assessment of PCa is quite urgent.…”

“…Because of low diagnostic accuracy of TRUS, many doctors prefer systematic biopsies for detection of prostate cancer (2). However, about 25% to 35% of cancers are missed on first systematic biopsy (3,4) and the Gleason score, which characterizes the malignant potential of prostate cancer, is commonly underestimated (5). In addition, attempts to improve prostate cancer detection by intensifying the biopsy technique have failed and seem to increase the risk of complications (6).…”

“…Bununla beraber biyopsi ve prostatektomi örnekleri ile Gleason değeri arasında tam bir uyum olmadığı çeşitli serilerde belirtilmiştir (9). Biyopsi ve radikal prostatektomiden elde edilen uyumsuzluk; örnekleri farklı patologların değerlendirmesi, Gleason skorunun 6-8 gibi dar bir aralıkta tanımlanabilmesi gibi nedenlere bağlanmıştır (10,11).…”
