Intraductal Prostate Cancer: Any info about recurrence rates?

Are you on ADT? People who have intraductal have a shorter life expectancy than those without, though it usually coincides with a higher Gleason score.

Are you seeing an oncologist? If you want to have the best chance of a long life a Genito urinary oncologist is the best to work with, they specialize in prostate cancer. A medical oncologist works with all different cancers and can’t specialize.

Going to a place like the mayo clinic would give you a better chance of long-term survival as they will know the best treatment for you.

( sorry @jeffmarc, Imeant to reply to the OP)

There seem to be 2 types of IDC-P, pattern 1 and pattern 2.

One had a very similar prognosis (for the treatment given in the study) to normal PCa the other was more aggressive. The less aggressive variant was less common: 25-30%.
Can provide a link if you are interested.

I tried asking my urologist what type I have but he got no answer from the pathologist! I will ask for a second opinion from another pathologist.

I decided to add Abiraterone to my ADT because of the aggressive disease.

I am also cT3b N0M0 based on PET PSMA.
