Updated Nomogram to
Predict Pathologic Stage of Prostate Cancer Given Prostate-Specific
Antigen Level, Clinical Stage, and Biopsy Gleason Score (Partin Tables)
Based on Cases from 2000 to 2005" UROLOGY 69 (6), June, 2007
This updated nomogram,
based on 5730 men treated at Johns Hopkins, reflects the dramatic and
significant shift in clinical features of recently diagnosed prostate
cancer. "Seventy-seven percent of patients had T1c, 76% had Gleason
score 5 to 6, 80% had a PSA level between 2.5 and 10 ng/mL, and 73% had
organ confined disease." Clinical stage T2c decreased significantly so
that the categories cT2b and cT2c were combined.
