tables constructed based on results of the PSA, clinical stage and Gleason score involving thousands of men with PC; used to predict the probability that the prostate cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, seminal vesicles, penetrated the capsule or that it remains confined to the prostate; developed by a group of scientists at the Brady Institute for Urology at Johns Hopkins University.

With regard to prostate cancer, these are tables, based on a large group of previous cases, used to predict the likelihood that cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or other organs. It takes into account the clinical stage and Gleason score of a man’s cancer, as well as the PSA level.

These are tables constructed on the basis of the PSA, stage, grade and surgical findings of over 4,000 men. The tables are used to predict the probability that the prostate cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and/or seminal vesicles, penetrated the capsule, or remains confined to the prostate. They were initially developed by a group of urologists at the Brady Institute for Urology at Johns Hopkins University. They are called "Partin tables" after just one of the original contributors to this research.
