Description

Han and Partin reported a nomogram for evaluating a male with clinically localized prostate cancer. This can help to identify a patient who may be recurrence free following radical prostatectomy. The authors are from the Johns Hopkins University.


Patient selection: male with clinically localized prostate cancer

 

Parameters:

(1) serum PSA in ng/mL

(2) clinical stage from T1a to T3a

(3) Gleason score predominant/primary

(4) Gleason score secondary

total score =

= SUM(points for all of the parameters)

 

Interpretation:

minimum score: 0

maximum score: 259

The higher the score the lower the chances of being recurrence free at 60 months (5 years) after radical prostatectomy.
