Comparýson of the gleason scores of prostate needle býopsýes and radýcal prostatectomy specýmensgleason score ýn prostatýc adenocarcýnomaAim: Gleason score (GS) is an important prognostic marker for prostate cancer and it is strongly correlatedwith stage and prognosis. However, needle biopsy (NB) GS is not always consistent with that of radicalprostatectomy (RP) specimens. In this study, the correlation of GSs of NB and RP specimens will be examined.Materials and Methods: Study population comprised of 51 patients who had diagnosed as adenocarcinomaby prostate NB and underwent RP operation. The GSs of both specimens were compared and their correlationwas investigated. In addition, the effect of blood prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and number of tumorpositive quadrants in NBs on the correlation was also examined. Results: Gleason scores of NBs were 6, 7and 9 in 43 (84.3%), 7 (13.7%) and 1 (2%) patients respectively. Exact correlation existed between GSs of NBand RP specimens for 35 (68.6%) cases. Positive predictive values for biopsy GSs 6 and 7 were 65.1% and100%, respectively. Fifteen (29.4%) biopsies were undergraded and 1 (2%) was overgraded. Blood PSA levelsand number of tumor positive quadrants in prostate NBs did not affect GS correlation (p>0.05). Conclusion:Gleason scoring system is an important parameter on determining the treatment and prognosis in prostatecancer. Thereby, it is important to provide a correlation between GSs of prostate NBs and RP specimens forthe treatment
AMAÇ: Gleason skoru (GS) prostat kanserinde önemli bir prognostik belirteç olup evre ve prognozla kuvvetli korelasyon göstermektedir. Ancak prostat iğne biyopsilerine (İB) ve radikal prostatektomi (RP) materyallerine verilen skorlar her zaman uyum göstermemektedir. Çalışmamızda İB ve RP'lere verilen GS'lerin tanısal uyumluluğu araştırılacaktır.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya prostat İB'de adenokarsinom tanısı alarak RP operasyonu geçirmiş 51 hasta alındı. Her iki materyale verilen GS'ler karşılaştırılarak verilen skorların tanısal uyumluluğu araştırıldı. Ayrıca olgulara ait serum prostat spesifik antijen (PSA) seviyeleri ile biyopside tümör içeren kadran sayısının tanısal uyuma etkisi incelendi.
BULGULAR: Prostat iğne biyopsisi GS'leri sırasıyla 43 (%84,3) olguda 6, 7 (%13,7) olguda 7 ve 1 (%2) olguda 9 idi. Elli bir olgunun 35'inde (%68,6) İB ve RP GS'lerinde tam uyum vardı. İğne biyopsisinde GS 6'ya sahip 43 olgunun 28'inde (%65,1) ve GS 7'ye sahip 7 olgunun tamamında (%100) RP materyaliyle tam uyum vardı. Bu oranlar GS 6 ve 7'nin pozitif prediktif değerleriydi. On beş (%29,4) olgunun İB materyalinde GS, RP materyalinin skorundan düşükken, 1 (%2) olguda daha yüksek verilmişti. Prostat İB'lerinde tümör pozitif kadran sayısının ve serum PSA seviyesinin GS uyumluluğunu anlamlı etkilemediği saptandı (p>0,05).
SONUÇ: Gleason skorlama sistemi prostat kanserinde tedavi ve prognozu belirlemede önemli bir parametredir. Bu nedenle İB'de verilen GS'nin RP materyalindeki GS ile uyumun sağlanması tedaviyi belirlemede önemlidir.

AIM: Gleason score (GS) is an important prognostic marker for prostate cancer and it is strongly correlated with stage and prognosis. However, needle biopsy (NB) GS is not always consistent with that of radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens. In this study, the correlation of GSs of NB and RP specimens will be examined.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Study population comprised of 51 patients who had diagnosed as adenocarcinoma by prostate NB and underwent RP operation. The GSs of both specimens were compared and their correlation was investigated. In addition, the effect of blood prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and number of tumor positive quadrants in NBs on the correlation was also examined.
RESULTS: Gleason scores of NBs were 6, 7 and 9 in 43 (84.3%), 7 (13.7%) and 1 (2%) patients respectively. Exact correlation existed between GSs of NB and RP specimens for 35 (68.6%) cases.

Blood PSA levels and number of tumor positive quadrants in prostate NBs did not affect GS correlation (p>0.05).
CONCLUSION: Gleason scoring system is an important parameter on determining the treatment and prognosis in prostate cancer. Thereby, it is important to provide a correlation between GSs of prostate NBs and RP specimens for the treatment.
