If a man's prostate cancer is rate a 6, how advanced is that?


Answers:     Hi stage 6 he is already in the urn way bygone stage 4 and stage 5 is death and stage 6 your already in the jar.
f some one tells you they are stage 5 or 6 you know they are
not telling the Truth. Source(s): retired nurse. cancer survivor.
Since there is no stage 6, I assume you're talking something like a Gleason score of 6, which is very common and is considered to be moderately aggressive. It's really at the low wrapping up of the scale, because a lot of docs wouldn't consider Gleason 5 to be cancer.

Gleason score does not indicate how advanced it is. To grasp an idea of the odds of that you will need more notes like PSA and stage.

Do you mean the Gleason score? This determines grade and here is no way to know how advanced it is by that. The stage explains how advanced it is. Source(s): I am a cancer registrar.
My PSA be 6.3 with a gleason score of 3+4=7. My cancer had spread beyond the glands. The numbers give a hand but does not tell the whole story. After the surgery I now own metastatic prostate cancer which hormones are keeping under control.
