GLEASON PATHOLOGICAL SCALE FOR PROSTATE CANCER AND ITS MODIFICATIONS
Keywords:
Gleason, gradation system, prostate cancerAbstract
The Gleason scoring system is a tool widely used today due to its adequate prognostic and treatment orientation in the evaluation of prostatic adenocarcinoma. This scale has suffered several modifications since its beginnings in the sixties as well as in recent years, which seek to facilitate and homogenize the pathological criteria of each of its categories.
