Between stage and grade?

What a Gleason score is?

How that score of 9 relates to the 5 that is tied to Biden's diagnosis?

Why Biden's number is 5, rather than a maximum of either 3 or 4 (like other cancers)

I'm living with two cancers, and I had to look out up, because prostate cancer had it's own language and grading scale.
