🧬 D'Amico Prostate Cancer Risk Group
UseWhen to use: localized prostate cancer counseling with PSA, Gleason, and T stage.
StrataLow / intermediate / high historical groups; refine with NCCN and imaging.
LimitsWhen not to use: metastatic disease staging alone. · Pitfall: ignoring favorable vs unfavorable intermediate. · Not a sole treatment order.

Methodology · worked example, guidelines & full notes
Three groups.
When to use
When to use: localized prostate cancer counseling with PSA, Gleason, and T stage.
How it works
Low: PSA ≤10 + Gleason ≤6 + T1–T2a; Int: PSA 10–20 or G7 or T2b; High: PSA >20 or G8–10 or ≥T2c.
Key points
- Three groups.
- PSA + grade + T.
- Next: modern risk tools / shared decision.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| PSA (ng/mL) | 8.5 ng/mL |
|---|---|
| Gleason sum (or Grade Group equivalent) | 7 (Grade Group 2–3) |
| Clinical T stage | T2b |
→D'AmicoIntermediate
- Inputs：PSA 8.5, Gleason 7, T T2b
- Cue：Intermediate — refine with Grade Group / NCCN favorable vs unfavorable
| PSA (ng/mL) | 8.5 ng/mL |
|---|---|
| Gleason sum (or Grade Group equivalent) | ≤6 (Grade Group 1) |
| Clinical T stage | T1–T2a |
→D'AmicoLow
- Inputs：PSA 8.5, Gleason 6, T T1–T2a
- Cue：Low — active surveillance often discussed

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does D'Amico Prostate Cancer Risk Group upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is D'Amico Prostate Cancer Risk Group calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: PSA (ng/mL) 8.5 ng/mL, Gleason sum (or Grade Group equivalent) 7 (Grade Group 2–3), Clinical T stage T2b → Result: D'Amico Intermediate（Inputs: PSA 8.5, Gleason 7, T T2b, Cue: Intermediate — refine with Grade Group / NCCN favorable vs unfavorable） Inputs: PSA (ng/mL) 8.5 ng/mL, Gleason sum (or Grade Group equivalent) ≤6 (Grade Group 1), Clinical T stage T1–T2a → Result: D'Amico Low（Inputs: PSA 8.5, Gleason 6, T T1–T2a, Cue: Low — active surveillance often discussed）
