The 4Kscore Test Predicts Upgrading of Prostate Adenocarcinoma on Radical Prostatectomy in Men With Low-Grade Prostate Biopsies

An algorithm calculates the risk probability for finding high-grade cancer (Gleason score > 7) on a subsequently performed prostate biopsy. 4Kscore Test results were generated for 1,312 patients enrolled in a multi-institutional prospective validation among 26 urological sites. The 4Kscore Test c...

Summary:An algorithm calculates the risk probability for finding high-grade cancer (Gleason score > 7) on a subsequently performed prostate biopsy. 4Kscore Test results were generated for 1,312 patients enrolled in a multi-institutional prospective validation among 26 urological sites. The 4Kscore Test can be utilized to assess risk for those patients with low-grade biopsy results who may be candidates for active surveillance.
