OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the utility of a mitochondrial functional score in predicting the progress of @entity263 . METHODS: This retrospective study included 72 @entity1 (mean age 70.1 years) with @entity263 who were treated by radical prostatectomy between October 2006 and March 2007. The epithelioglandular mitochondrial functional scores were assessed according to the Flameng grading. @entity1 were divided into six groups (groups 1-6) according to their Gleason score (Gleason score 2-7, respectively). The correlation between Gleason score and mitochondrial functional score was examined using Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: The mean mitochondrial functional score was significantly lower in group 6 compared with group 1. An inverse correlation was found between the Gleason and mitochondrial functional scores. At 1 year, significantly fewer @entity1 in group 1 had died (0/15 @entity1 ) than in group 6 (2/10 @entity1 ); the deaths were @entity5 -related. CONCLUSIONS: Mitochondrial dysfunction exists in @entity1 with @entity263 , particularly in cases with a higher degree of @entity5 . The mitochondrial functional score, combined with the Gleason score, is beneficial for predicting the progress of @entity263 .
