In "Episode 4" of the series on "Present and future of diagnostics in Prostate Cancer", Dr. Rossella Nicoletti (IT) and Prof. Eva Compérat (FR) present the case against renaming Gleason score 6 Prostate Cancer.
They discuss the strong pathological arguments for keeping the "cancer" designation, pointing to the morphological and molecular evidence that supports this classification. Prof. Comperat highlights the risks of causing confusion within the clinical and research communities if Gleason score 6 were no longer considered cancer.
The episode also addresses the potential impact on prostate cancer reporting and the broader implications for treatment decision-making. This discussion presents a compelling counterpoint to the proposal of renaming Gleason score 6, emphasising the importance of consistency in cancer classification.
