I haven't figured out all these scoring systems, between scoring and terminology my head just spins. You have those 4+3=7, the grade groups, then I believe there is a stage? Why can't they use one method of staging? Then some say my cribriform, moves you up one, but not sure of which scoring it moves you up. Then a 7 can be a grade group 2 or 3, depends on if it was 4+3 or 3+4.

@diverjer Yes, confusing. My husband is, I believe, 4+5 (or 5+4). At any rate, high Gleason score. Advanced Prostate Cancer - no metastases. Wondering what to expect from 44 radiation treatments plus oral ADT. Thanks to all who share their experiences.
