Expert Video - What are the stages and grades of prostate cancer?

Dr. Jean Bonhomme, MD, MPH, an expert in men's health and founder of the National Black Men's Health Network, describes the stages and grades of prostate cancer. If you have cancer on your biopsy, the report will show the overall percentage of cancer in the tissue and a Gleason score. This score tells your doctor how abnormal the cancer cells are in the prostate. He also describes risk groups or grade groups, and the four main stages of prostate cancer.
