Gleasonian approach

The Gleasonian approach is a method used by doctors to evaluate prostate cancer by examining tissue samples under a microscope. It assigns a Gleason score based on the cancer cells' appearance and how much They differ from normal cells. A lower score indicates less aggressive cancer, while a higher score suggests more aggressive, faster-growing cancer. This scoring helps doctors determine the best treatment options and predict how the disease may progress. Essentially, it provides a standardized way to understand the severity of prostate cancer based on the microscopic structure of the tumor.
