In this new edition, the classification of prostate cancer has been refined in the diagnostic criteria, grading, nomenclature, and genomics. This paper reviews significant updates to the new WHO classification of prostate cancer, including high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, acinar adenocarcinoma, intraductal carcinoma, ductal carcinoma, and neuroendocrine tumors. Controversial issues in the Gleason grading are discussed, such as intraductal carcinoma and tertiary grade. We also highlight distinct genetic and epigenetic alterations in prostate cancer that may contribute to its diverse clinicopathologic features.
