I'll definitely order it now, I had no idea a RADS 4 would mean an 80% risk of having cancer. Are there any charts that verify the percentages?

@theanomaly Difinitely there are several sites to gooogle . However the followinnd is a summary . Rads 1 to 5 indicates how likely a suspicious area in your prostate ( as shown on an MRI ) is likely to be cancerous . A Radiologist assigns the score AFTER ANALYZING YOUR MRI .
Pi - RADS 1 VERY LOW RISK -- No signs of cancer .
PI - RADS 2 LOW RISK - Unlikely to have cancer .
PI - RADS 3 INTERMEDIATE RISK .
PI - RADS 4 HIGH RISK . Likely have cancer .
PI - RADS 5 VERY HIGH RISK . Most likely have cancer .
What next : RADS 1 & 2 No treatment recommended .

RADS 3 or HIGHER . A followup Biopsy . Preferably A Transperineal MRI Fusion Biopsy which reduces the chances of infection - possibly Sepsis . And always request a 2nd or 3rd opinion of your biopsy Gleason Score . You should also google what your Gleason score means and your treatment options .
Good Luck . Keep me posted
