A second opinion pathology review improves the diagnostic concordance between prostate cancer biopsy and radical prostatectomy specimens

The Gleason scoring system is an essential tool for determining the treatment strategy in prostate cancer (PCa). However, the Gleason grade group (GGG) often differs between needle-core biopsy (NCB) and radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens. We investigated the diagnostic value of a second opinion pathology review using NCB specimens in PCa.We retrospectively evaluated 882 patients who underwent robot-assisted RP from January 2012 to September...
