Cribriform is Found inside the prostate when they get cores or analyze the whole Prostate after surgery.

When you use radiation on the prostate, it will just destroy everything in it, including the cribriform areas. As long as the cancer has not spread out of the prostate.

The thing about cribriform Is that the appearance of it means that your cancer is much more aggressive. It’s as aggressive as someone who has a much higher Gleason score. You want to treat it soon so that it does not spread, getting on ADT while waiting for treatment would be sufficient.
