Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) develops Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) develops deep within the prostate and is more likely to deep within the prostate and is more likely to “squeeze” the water passage and cause symptoms“squeeze” the water passage and cause symptoms It is much more common than cancer (90%)It is much more common than cancer (90%) It starts in men from the age of 40 and progressively It starts in men from the age of 40 and progressively

Histological Differentiation – Gleason Grade /Score
Histological Differentiation – Gleason Grade /Score
Well differentiated = Gleason score(2,3,4)Well differentiated = Gleason score(2,3,4)
Mod. differentiated = Gleason score(5,6,7)Mod. differentiated = Gleason score(5,6,7)
Poor differentiation = Gleason score(8,9,10)Poor differentiation = Gleason score(8,9,10)
