Gleason grade group (GG) 5 prostate cancer has been associated with an aggressive natural history, and retrospective data support a role for treatment intensification. However, clinical outcomes remain heterogeneous in this cohort, and intensified treatments carry an increased risk of adverse events. We sought to explore the transcriptomic heterogeneity of GG 5 tumors by querying transcriptomic data from the tumors of 2138 patients with GG 5 disease who underwent prostatectomy. Four distinct consensus clusters were identified with respect to differential transcriptional activation of hallmark pathways, with distinct molecular subtyping profiles and different average genomic risks (AGRs). One cluster, accounting for 325 tumors (15.2% of the population), was enriched for genes related to the cell cycle/proliferation, metabolic pathways, androgen response pathways, and DNA repair, and had a higher AGR than the other clusters (p < 0.001). This clustering, with an identification of a high genomic risk cluster, was subsequently validated in a separate cohort of 1921 patients as well as a third cohort of 201 patients. The latter cohort had outcomes available, and it was found that patients in the high genomic risk cluster had significantly worse distant metastasis-free survival than the other clusters. Tumors in this high genomic risk cluster of GG 5 disease may be particularly likely to benefit from treatment intensification. Patient summary: In this report, we examined differences in gene expression in tumors from men with Gleason grade group 5 prostate cancer. We identified significant diversity, with one specific subgroup of tumors associated with expression profiles that suggest a worse prognosis. (C) 2020 European Association of Urology.
