The correlation between the gleason score of the biopsy and that of the prostatectomy patch

Since the advent of massive dosage of prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate cancer has become a major public health problem. It is currently the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men (after lung cancer). More than 670,000 new cases are diagnosed annually worldwide. This is a retrospective study including all patients treated for prostate cancer by radical prostatectomy at the Ibn Rochde University Hospital in Casablanca between January 2017 and December 2020, i.e. a period of 4 years. At the end of our study, we identified 18 cases of radical prostatectomy.
