Abstract
The prediagnostic PSA velocity, patient age, and clinical T stage were significantly associated with high-grade prostate cancer at diagnosis. Because a biopsy Gleason score of 4+3 or greater is associated with a prostatectomy Gleason score of 7 or greater in the vast majority of cases, these parameters can identify men at high risk of harboring occult high-grade prostate cancer, permitting improved selection of RT fields and the use of androgen suppression therapy.
