Histological Gleason Classification


Gleason chart

 

Grade 1 is very similar to normal tissue. Its diagnosis is difficult. The Grade 3 is the most frequent.

Gleason score is the addition of the most frequent grade and the most severe grade (if there is only one grade, it is doubled).

This picture is borrowed with authorisation from the very well documented pathology and clinical website from the Pathology and Cytology Unit of KAROLINSKA HOSPITAL in Stockholm.
