Gleason 3+3=6 Explained: Cancer or Not?

Is Gleason 3+3=6 really cancer—or is it something less dangerous? In this episode of UroNurse News, hosted by Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, we tackle one of the most debated topics in urology today. The Gleason score has long been used to classify prostate cancer, but when it comes to Gleason 6 (Grade Group 1), the conversation is evolving.

Many experts argue that this low-grade diagnosis behaves very differently from more aggressive forms of prostate cancer—raising the question: should it even be called cancer?

In this video, you’ll learn:

What Gleason 3+3=6 actually means under the microscope
Why it is still classified as cancer by organizations like the American Urological Association
The growing debate among experts about reclassifying low-risk prostate disease
How active surveillance is changing the way we manage low-risk prostate cancer
What this diagnosis means for patients—and why overtreatment is a real concern

This episode is essential viewing for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals navigating prostate cancer decisions. Understanding the difference between low-risk and aggressive disease can help avoid unnecessary treatment and improve quality of life. Stay informed and empowered with evidence-based education designed to improve urologic health outcomes.
