Prostate Biopsy at Mayo Clinic

I had the exact opposite experience I can guarantee that. Once Dr Epstein left JHU (just as I was sending slides) the biopsy report for me was just a few scant lines with no physician name (probably somebody in training but no apparent supervision since Epstein was gone). This was last year. The Mayo/Rochester one was super professional and very detailed. JHU even mixed my paperwork up, multiple calls resulted in nothing. I felt it was just a money making effort done by somebody unsupervised + untrained and poorly done completely, plus with the paperwork mix up I even call into question their entire practices. Perhaps JHU has picked up since, but to be honest I would never send another thing to them, and I am a JHU graduate.

Dr. Matoso at JH read my slides and spoke to me in depth. Their pathology report will always indicate the total percentage of tumor tissue Ina single core and the separate percentage of grade grp 4, which is what is needed specifically if you have anything but G6. And they include the tissue changes as in cribriform morphology. If a report is lacking these elements, that's an issue.
