I had a 4+3, which for some strange reason is more aggressive than a 3+4.
That's because a Gleason score is arrived at by adding the grading of the two highest types of cells found. The first score has to be > 55% of cells seen, while the second has to be only 5% - do the math.

I too have a 7 (4+3)
