Whatever your gleason score is : Get a 2nd or 3rd opinion .
I speak from experience . My 1st Transpernineal MRI Fusion Biopsy was Begign ( Negative )
The 2nd Biopsy Gleason 6 A 2nd Opinion Upgraded to Gleason 3 +4 =7 and the 3rd Opinion ( on my 2nd biopsy ) changed again fro 6 cores G6 , then G7 were changed to : 4 Cores G6 and 2 cores G 3 +4 = 7 Take your pick .
When it comes to analyzing a prostate biopsy " " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder " -- It's very subjective . Let's hope for more accurate interpretations in the future with AI

Having worked with AI on-and-off for decades, I wouldn't expect it to do interpretation and diagnosis itself (it's bizarrely wrong too often, and we can't even trace back and figure out why); instead, it's useful for turning up extra things for humans to evaluate by spotting patterns in huge bodies of data (more than a human could look at).

I tell people to treat AI like an over-enthusiastic intern who's always sticking a head into your office saying "look what I found!" "look at this!".

Most of the time you'll just smile politely and try not to roll your eyes, but every once in a while it will turn up something genuinely useful.
