CAPRA points determination table:
The 5 Factors to
sum:
|
(1) pre-malignant-biopsy PSA (chose
one):
-
2.0-6.0 = 0 CAPRA
points
-
6.1-10.0 = 1 CAPRA
point
-
10.1-20.0 = 2 CAPRA
points
-
20.1-30.0 = 3 CAPRA
points
-
higher than 30 = 4 CAPRA
points
|
(2) highest Gleason score in
biopsies (chose one):
-
(1-3) plus (1-3)= ?...gives 0 CAPRA
points
-
(1-3) plus (4-5)=
?...gives 1 CAPRA point
-
(4-5) plus (1-5)=
?...gives 3 CAPRA points
|
(3) [assumed?] actual clinical T

(4) percentage of cores that were
cancerous cores (PPB%):
|
(5) patient's
age:
