Prostate cancer: Grade group 2 is associated with higher treatment rate

Key clinical point: In patients with prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance (AS), Gleason grade group (GG) 2 compared with GG1 at diagnosis was associated with a higher definitive treatment rate.

Major finding: There was no significant difference in the 5-year reclassification rates in patients with GG2 vs GG1 disease (30% vs 37%; P = .11). A higher proportion of patients with GG2 disease received treatment at 5 years (58% vs 34%; P < .001).

Study details: A prospective multicenter Canary PASS cohort study of 1,728 patients undergoing AS.
