If this is related to prostate cancer, it evaluates the current stage of cancer in that particular person. Generally, prostate cancer has 4 stages, however, your "5" of prostate test might be related to Gleason score.

For your information, Gleason score is a system to evaluate the changes in prostate cells and the spread of the tumor. As its range varies from 2 points to 10 points, the high points you get from prostate test; the more likely the tumor might be spread.

So, a Gleason score of 5 means, the cancer is located only in the prostate, and the PSA level is lower than 10.
