Partin Tables
The Partin Tables use clinical features of prostate cancer – Gleason score, serum PSA, and clinical stage – to predict whether the tumor will be confined to the prostate. Predict Pathological Stage Han tables
After using The Partin Tables to predict the definitive pathological stage (the extent of cancer spread), men and their doctors may want to know the probability of recurrence following surgery (radical prostatectomy). The Han tables were designed to predict the probability of the first evidence of recurrence (detectable PSA level) following surgery. Partin Nomograms
In addition to prostate cancer stage, urologists use other prognostic factors to help plan the best treatment and predict how successful treatment will be. In order to utilize the new 'Partin Nomogram' a patient or urologist must have the patient's total PSA value (number), DRE results or clinical stage, and the biopsy Gleason score. |
