Significance of Gleason Score 7 With Tertiary Pattern 5 at Radical Prostatectomy

The impact of TP5 of Gleason score 7 in radical prostatectomy specimens is still significant using contemporary grading. Moreover, TP5 was independently associated with biochemical recurrence. However, 3 + 4 = 7 with TP5 behaves like 4 + 3 = 7 in terms of biochemical recurrence-free survival rate.
