GLEASON SCORE


Meaning of GLEASON SCORE in English

transcription, транскрипция: [ [GLEE-sun] ]

A system of grading prostate cancer cells based on how they look under a microscope. Gleason scores range from 2 to 10 and indicate how likely it is that a tumor will spread. A low Gleason score means the cancer cells are similar to normal prostate cells and are less likely to spread; a high Gleason score means the cancer cells are very different from normal and are more likely to spread.
