María Natalia Gandur Quiroga: Study on Gleason Grade Group 1 Prostate Cancer reveals key findings

María Natalia Gandur Quiroga shared a post on X about a recent paper by Anthony V. D’Amico et al. published in Science Direct, commenting:

“Recent study on Gleason Grade Group 1 Prostate Cancer reveals key findings:

• PPB >50% and PSA >20 ng/ml are significantly associated with higher risk of adverse pathology.
• Patients with these factors have higher risk of early PSA failure and prostate cancer-specific mortality.
• Maintaining the ‘cancer’ classification for GGG 1 with PPB >50% or PSA >20 ng/ml and considering rebiopsy is recommended to identify unsampled high-grade disease.”
