Interobserver Reproducibility of Percent Gleason Grade 4/5 in Prostate Biopsies

Abstract

Interobserver reproducibility of percent GG4/5 on prostate biopsies is at least as good as that of GS. Hence, concern about interobserver variability should not deter pathologists from using percent GG4/5. Grading appears to be most difficult when cancer is present in multiple biopsies or it contains cribriform or fusion patterns.
