The Novel Histological Prostatic Inflammation Score Helps Defining the Association Between Stromal and Glandular Inflammation with the Risk of Prostate Cancer at Prostate Biopsy by Ugo Giovanni Falagario, Francesca Sanguedolce, Angelo Cormio, Antonella Ninivaggi, Marco Finati, Francesco Guzzi, Gian Maria Busetto, Carlo Bettocchi, Daniele Castellani, Giuseppe Carrieri, Luigi Cormio

“…<b>Background:</b> There is emerging evidence of an inverse association between prostatic inflammation (PI) and prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis and outcome. The Irani score, a validated system that scores PI according to the grade of stromal infiltration (Irani G) and the aggressiveness of glandular infiltration (Irani A), has indeed been found to be inversely associated with PCa diagnosis and outcome, but the presence of two categories (G and A) makes the performance of this score suboptimal. …”
