GS = Gleason Score; GS (pre) = GS of biopsy; 41 patients have accepted radical operation and got the post-operation GS (GS (post)); SD = standard deviation; prostate volume was calculated as volume: volume (mL) = (length × width × height) × π/6. TURP = Transurethral resection of the prostate; NA = not applicable; PC = prostate cancer.
