This is a slide of Medium Grade (6) cancer. As the cancer cells multiply and spread both the appearance and arrangement of the cells will change. The cells change shape and begin to look less like typical prostate cells. As well, this increase in activity causes the cell nucleus (it contains the genetic material for the maintenance, growth and reproduction of each cell) to become larger than normal.
All of these changes also cause the ducts and glands (acini) of the prostate to take on an irregular appearance.
