A tumour nodule in the left mid portion of the gland (1.2 cm) is predominantly 4+3; the Gleason score for the case is assigned on the basis of the tumour nodule as Gleason score 7/10 (4+3). | |||
Overall, Gleason pattern 3 represents 65% of the cancer in the prostate, and Gleason pattern 4 represents 35% of the cancer in the prostate. | |||

Gleason pattern 3 represents 30% of the tumour, and Gleason pattern 4 represents 70% of the tumour. | |||
The World Health Organization (WHO) endorsed prostate cancer grade grouping is: 3 out of 5. | |||
