Gleason score for prostate cancer - SM
Posted: Jun 22, 2015
Anyone ever heard of a Gleason socore of 4-6 or 4+6. I have heard 3+4 and 4+3, but this doc is dictating "Gleason 4 6", and I have no idea what she means.
Unless you're clearly hearing the word "plus" - sm

I would blank it. There is such an animal as Gleason 10 disease, but without clearly hearing him dictate "plus" it's impossible to know that he might not be dictating two different scores, 4 and 6...

He scores 10 out of 25 points on the SHIM components of the International Index of Erectile Function, but all 10 points are for "when you attempted sexual intercourse, how often was it satisfactory to you," he gave himself 5 points there. Otherwise, he is not able to have sexual activity. ...
Is it CHAD score - or CHADS score?
On search I find CHAD, CHADS, and CHADS2.
He is not saying a "2" at all, and with him saying "score" right after "chad," I don't know if there should be an 's' on CHAD or not.
The dictated sentence is: He does have a recent diagnosis of lone atrial fibrillation with a low CHAD score.
Thanks for any help. ...
Very clear clinician. He says "Gleason score 6 of 10 (3+3)". Would this be transcribed as such, or should it read "Gleason score 6/10"? Please advise. Thanks!! ...
I am transcribing a pediatric echo and the doctor says C-score or Z-score. I have never heard this before. Is it C-score or Z-score.
Thanks for any help in advance. ...
In a cancer report, the doctor gave a diagnosis of Stage IIIC T4aN2M0 cancer. Then she later said, He was staged as a pathological T4aN2a. She added the a and dropped the M0.
I listened very carefully for the diagnosis and later in the problem list. She does not add the a after the N2 in either place.
Does anyone know why it is N2a in one place but just N2 in the DX? ...
I am having extreme difficulty with a dictation. I have read some other post, but when I ask a transcription advisor at Allied, if in fact the doctor is saying "flat", I'm told no. Anyone have any idea what is being said? The sentence is " On digital rectal exam the prostate is (flat, flas, flaccid) without firmness or nodularity."
Thanks for any help on this problem. ...

Prostate exam: Moderately large prostate without s/l dystrophy, nodularity, tenderness, or s/l vomulence.
when he says what s/l dystrophy, the audio is a little fuzzy and I'm not sure. The end of the word definitely sounds like *a fee ...
