Abstract

Background: Prostatic adenocarcinoma remains a significant health burden in Nigeria, with most cases presenting at advanced stages. Understanding relationships between PSA levels, Gleason scores, and grade groups is crucial for risk stratification and treatment planning. However, comprehensive data from southeastern Nigeria remain limited.
