Effect of degree of differentiation of prostate cancer in long-term results of treatment
Abstract
The degree of tumor differentiation was a strong prognostic indicator for evaluation of disease-free survival of patients and to evaluate tumor-specific survival and mortality. In this 5-year disease-free survival in patients with highly differentiated (2-5 points) and poorly differentiated (7 points and 8-10 points) tumors differed in 1,5 times. Tumor-specific survival in patients with the IG > 8 was 66%, whereas with the IG < 8, this figure was 90%.
