[Correlation between Gleason score on prostate biopsies diagnostic of adenocarcinoma and radical prostatectomy specimens].

Objectives: We analyse the concordance between Gleason scores on prostate biopsies diagnostic of adenocarcinoma and radical prostatectomy specimens.

Methods: We reviewed the charts of 214 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between January 1992 and November 2002. We calculated the percentage of correct diagnosis, understaging and overstaging for individual Gleason and for groups with scores between 2-4, 5-6, 7 and 8-10.
