Abbreviations: PSA = Prostate Specific Antigen; GS = Gleason Score; PZ = Peripheral Zone; TZ = Transition Zone
Biopsies in different color are taken from distinct lesions in the prostate;
GS at selection of patients for gene expression analysis;
GS at re-review;
Not enough tumor for gene expression analysis.
