In this volume of the European Journal of Cancer, two complementary studies regarding the histopathology of Gleason grade IV (GG4)
prostate cancer (PCa) are presented. Herein, the authors explore specific histopathological
aspects of GG4 PCa predictive of poor outcome and lymph node status. The common message
underlined by both reports is that features accessible via routine histology of prostate
biopsy or prostatectomy specimens yield valuable information regarding both patient
outcome and specific molecular changes.

- Ductal variant prostate carcinoma is associated with a significantly shorter metastasis-free survivalEuropean Journal of CancerVol. 148
- PreviewDuctal adenocarcinoma is an uncommon prostate cancer variant. Previous studies suggest that ductal variant histology may be associated with worse clinical outcomes, but these are difficult to interpret. To address this, we performed an international, multi-institutional study to describe the characteristics of ductal adenocarcinoma, particularly focussing on the effect of presence of ductal variant cancer on metastasis-free survival.

- PreviewLymph node metastases (pN1) at prostatectomy are infrequent but impact prognosis. Traditional prostate nomograms assess age, serum prostatic-specific antigen (PSA), clinical stage, and biopsy parameters to inform decisions on pelvic lymph node dissection. The impact of intraductal carcinoma (IDC) and cribriform pattern 4 (CC) on nodal metastases has yet to be explored.
