Abstract

The current grading of prostate cancer is based on the classification system of the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) following a consensus conference in Chicago in 2014. The foundations are based on the frequently modified grading system of Gleason. This article presents a brief description of the development to the current ISUP grading system.

Keywords: European Association of Urology; Gleason score; Guidelines; ISUP grading; Puncture biopsy.
