One the most important disadvantages is that low-grade PC may include local aggressive behavior. Hence, our aim here was investigate incidence extraprostatic extension (EPE), a behavior, in GS6 cases. Material and Methods: We examined 119 materials diagnosed with prostatic adenocarcinoma (GS 3+3:6) no tertiary pattern were sent department as prostatectomy between January 2010 – May 2019. investigated how many had EPE. Results: observed EPE 16 (13.45%) 5 cases vesicula seminalis invasion (pT3b) 11 and/or bladder neck (pT3a) without invasion. Conclusion: Among patients GS-6 PC, we (pT3) 13.45% 4.2%, which suggests possibility not uncommon PC. Based on these findings, argue under should be followed more carefully for Keywords: cancer; gleason score;
