Measure Description: TNM staging system stands for Tumour, Node, Metastasis. Stage I: cancer is in half of one side of the prostate or less. Stage II: cancer is in more than half of one side of the prostate, completely contained within the prostate gland. Stage III: cancer has broken through the capsule of the prostate gland, and may have spread into tubes that carry semen. Stage IV: cancer has spread into nearby body organs, such as the back passage or bladder; or has spread to nearby lymph nodes; or has spread to other parts of the body outside the pelvis, such as the lungs or liver.

Measure Description: The BPI-SF is a short, self-administered questionnaire with 11 items designed to evaluate the intensity of, and the impairment caused by pain. Four items measure pain intensity (pain now, average pain, worst pain, and least pain) using 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("pain as bad as you can imagine") numeric rating scales, and 7 items measure the level of interference with function caused by pain (general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life) using 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference) rating scales.

Measure Description: The Gleason score is an indication of prognosis based on prostate pathology. The total score ranges from 2 to 10 (ie: "1+1" to "5+5") with a higher score reflecting less-differentiated tumors with worse prognosis. The total score is a sum of two numbers which are based on the microscopic appearance of cells. The first number is the score based on the dominant, cell morphology (scored 1-5) and the second number is based on the highest grade of the non-dominant cell pattern (scored 1-5).
