Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the association of ISUP/WHO-grade groups with various pathological prognostic parameters and cancer-specific survival in patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma. We found 27 (15.7%) cases of grade group 1, 22 (12.8%) grade group 2, 30 (17.4%) grade group 3, 40 (23.3%) grade group 4 and 53 (30.8%) grade group 5 prostatic adenocarcinoma. We found that high-grade tumors (grade 3–5) had a higher frequency of perineural invasion and higher tumor volumes (>50%). Moreover, a significant association of tumor grade was noted with cancer-specific survival of patients, signifying prognostic significance of grade grouping in prostatic adenocarcinoma.
