In 2014 the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) supported to change the ISUP-2005 modified Gleason scoring system, as previously proposed by Pierorazio et al.[1,2] Besides decisions on terminology and scoring of specific morphological patterns, a renumbering of the existing scores was suggested.
[3] In clinical practice this comprises a transformation from a 6-10 risk spectrum including 9 different Gleason scores (3+3=6, 3+4=7, 4+3=7, 3+5=8 4+4=8, 5+3=8, 4+5=9, 5+4=9, and 5+5=10) to a 1-5 score with 5 grade groups (1: ≤3+3, 2: 3+4, 3: 4+3, 4: Gleason scores 8, and 5: Gleason score 9-10).
