The TNM classification of prostate cancer [19]

The TNM classification
T - Primary tumor (stage based on DRE only)
TX - Primary tumor cannot be assessedT0 - No evidence of primary tumorT1 - Clinically inapparent tumor that is not palpableT1a - Tumor incidental histological finding in 5% or less of tissue resectedT1b - Tumor incidental histological finding in more than 5% of tissue resectedT1c - Tumor identified by needle biopsy (because of elevated PSA)T2 - Tumor that is palpable and confined within the prostateT2a - Tumor involves one half of one lobe or lessT2b - Tumor involves more than half of one lobe, but not both lobesT2c - Tumor involves both lobesT3 - Tumor extends through the prostatic capsuleT3a - Extracapsular extension (unilateral or bilateral)T3b - Tumor invades seminal vesiclesT4 - Tumor is fixed or invades adjacent structures other than seminal vesicles: external sphincter, rectum, levator muscles and/or pelvic wall
N - Regional Lymph Nodes
NX - Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessedN0 - No regional lymph node metastasisN1 - Regional lymph node metastasis
M - Distant Metastasis
M0 - No distant metastasisM1 - Distant metastasisM1a - Non-regional lymph nodesM1b - BonesM1c - Other sites
DRE – digital rectal examination; PSA – prostate-specific antigen; TNM – tumor-node-metastasis

The risk of biochemical recurrence of limited and locally advanced prostate cancer [18]

Definition
Low-riskIntermediate-riskHigh-risk
PSA < 10 ng/ml, GS < 7 (ISUP grade 1), cT1-2aPSA 10–20 ng/ml, GS 7 (ISUP grade 2/3), cT2bPSA > 20 ng/ml, GS > 7 (ISUP grade 4/5), cT2cany PSAany GS (any ISUP grade)cT3-4 or cN+
LocalizedLocally advanced
GS– Gleason score; ISUP – International Society for Urological Pathology; PSA – prostate-specific antigen
