Gleason score
The Gleason score uses a biopsy of the prostate to grade cell changes, indicating how aggressive the cancer is.29
Samples are analysed under the microscope and cells are categorised from normal to extremely abnormal/diffuse. Cells are graded with 1 and 2 being normal while 5 is the most changed with the highest risk of aggressive cancer.
Don’t worry, you can come back and finish the assessment in your own time.
