Abstract
We know about the Gleason pattern and Gleason score which are of paramount importance in tailoring the treatment of a prostate cancer. However, there are certain deficiencies in this current scoring system. To simplify the treatment options and have a better idea about the prognosis, a new grade group system has been proposed by ISUP/WHO in 2015. This has been validated in the clinical practice. This commentary takes you through its genesis, utility and its implications on the clinical practice.
