Low-Risk Prostate Cancer

The following are typical of the population of individuals who are at low risk for prostate cancer:

  • PSA 0-10 AND
  • Grade Group 1 (Gleason 3+3) AND
  • Clinical exam: Normal (T1c) or abnormality in one side only (cT2a)

Management Options

These men have a very low risk of dying from prostate cancer.

  • Active surveillance is preferred
  • Radical prostatectomy
  • Radiation therapy

Clinical Trials

If you'd like to participate in a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins, visit the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research .

Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer

The following are typical of the population of individuals who are at intermediate risk for prostate cancer:

  • PSA 10-20
  • Grade Group 2 (Gleason 3+4) or Grade Group 3 (Gleason score 4+3)
  • Clinical exam: Abnormality that does not extend beyond the boundary of the prostate

Management Options

  • Active surveillance can be considered in select cases
  • Radical prostatectomy
  • Radiation therapy (sometimes with several months of hormonal suppression)

Clinical Trials

If you'd like to participate in a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins, visit the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research .

High-Risk Prostate Cancer

The following are typical of the population of individuals who are at high risk for prostate cancer:

  • PSA >20 OR
  • Grade Group 4 (Gleason Score 4+4)/Grade Group 5 (Gleason Score 4+5/5+4/5+5) OR
  • Clinical exam: Abnormality that extends beyond the prostate with no fixation

Management Options

These men have a much higher risk of recurrence and often benefit from more aggressive combination approaches.

  • Radical prostatectomy
  • Radiation therapy with two to three years of hormonal suppression

Clinical Trials

If you'd like to participate in a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins, visit the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research .

Metastatic

The following are typical of the population of individuals who have metastatic prostate cancer:

  • PSA
  • Gleason
  • Clinical exam

Management Options

  • Hormone therapy
  • Chemotherapy
  • Radium 223
  • Immunotherapy

Clinical Trials

If you'd like to participate in a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins, visit the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research .
