A CAPRA score of 0 to 2 indicates journeys a low risk. A CAPRA score between 3 and 5 indicates an intermediary risk. CAPRA a score of between 6 and 10 means high risk. What factors determine the risk and what is their value for the score? Age at diagnosis PSA at diagnosis T Stadium Percentage of positive biopsies 1 Age at diagnosis under 50 years of Gleason score: journeys 0 over 50 years: journeys 1 2 PSA at diagnosis less than 6 0 between 6.1 and 10: 1 between 10.1 and 20: 3 over 30: 4 3 Gleason nowhere Gleason grade 4 or 5: 0 second degree is 4 or 5: 1 first degree is 4 or 5: 3 4 Tumor Stage Nothing to feel (T1): 0 No tumor to feel outside the capsule (T2): 0 Tumor feel (T3a) outside the capsule: 1 5. Percentage of positive biopsies on the total number of biopsies less than 1/3: 0 more than 1/3: 1 How to calculate risk
After adding the individual scores you get a number between o and 10 A low score means less risk of problems than a high number. A high score is a thorough treatment of the prostate is important.
