Abstract: Large radical prostatectomy ((RP) series have demonstrated a trend for lower incidence of Gleason score (GS) ≤5 and high GS≥8 along with a trend for higher incidence of GS 6-7. It is unclear whether these changes are due to differences in pathological interpretation or reflect actual change of tumor aggressiveness over time. In the present study, we sought to evaluate the trends in prevalence of pathological Gleason scores over the last 14 years for RP patients at the University of Chicago.
