| Gleason score |
A system of grading prostate cancer cells based on how they look under a microscope. Gleason scores range from 2 to 10 and indicate how likely it is that a tumor will spread. A low Gleason score means the cancer cells are similar to normal prostate cells and are less likely to spread; a high Gleason score means the cancer cells are very different from normal and are more likely to spread.

| Gleason score |
A cancer is usually made up of cells at several different stages of development and differentiation. Dr. Gleason set up a classification of five different grades that can help determine the type of cancer. He looked at the two most prevalent types of cells and gave each type a grade of 1 to 5 then added the two scores for a final grade. A tumor with well differentiated cells would have a score of 2, 3, or 4 and be classified as low grade. ...

| Gleason score |
A system of grading prostate cancer cells describing how aggressive the cancer appears. It is used to determine the best treatment and to predict how well a person is likely to respond to treatment. The lower the Gleason score, the closer the cancer cells are to normal cells, the higher the Gleason score, the more abnormal the cancer cells.
