“…Although the Korean studies enrolled fewer patients, the race- and nation-specific characteristics of prostate cancer should be considered to develop a more accurate prediction model. Koreans with prostate cancer in whom a radical prostatectomy is indicated had poorer characteristics than Americans (29). It is important that a more specific prediction model in terms of race and nation be developed.…”

“…This is the paradox of prostatic cancer: autopsy examination of men aged 70-79 reveals prostate cancer in 39% and this increases to 43% in those aged 80. Kang et al, reported that American have less severe characteristics than Korean prostate cancer patients (Kang et al, 2013). Increased incidence, disease burden and fatality make the cancer a global health problem.…”

“…In Asia, incidence of prostate cancer and mortality rate has increased (Moore et al, 2010). Study shows that Korean people have worse disease than American people (Kang et al, 2013). Initial treatment of prostate cancer is androgen deprivation (Zhi et al, 2014).…”

“…7,9,10 However, the new 5-tiered grading system has not been validated in Asian prostate cancer patients. Because prostate cancer in Asians is reported to have more aggressive pathological characteristics 11 and worse oncological outcomes than that in Western patients, [12][13][14][15] the prognostic value of the new system in Asian prostate cancer patients needs to be validated before its clinical application. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the new 5-tiered grading system, with respect to both biopsy and pathologic grade, in Korean patients with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy.…”
