Ooops. Sorry. You are right. You would not need biopsy for PIRAD2. There are awful stories where men went through more than one biopsy and not find anything. PSMA PET scan would be more beneficial, if only to be sure.
As for Greg52, there seems to be no reason for him to wait 4 weeks for biopsy. All the uncertainty is not necessary. He should get going right away.
Dont mind me. I am just another layman trying to make some sense of the whole thing.

This week I will meet my urologist and I will ask him if PSMA PET would clarify better in a situation like mine. However, I read that PSMA PET only comes AFTER a radical prostatectomy. But I don't understand why. Maybe retireddoc can explain it to us
