Hey edtrucks, it’s a bewildering situation to be in for sure. I agree that a Decipher test is an excellent adjunctive measure.
Also, please remember that there are focal therapies such as ultrasound, heat, laser and cryotherapy (FLA, TulsaPro to name two) which focus only on the PiRad lesions - not the entire gland. Side effects and life changes are MUCH less than with surgery or radiation.
Perhaps if you are proactive and act NOW, you can get rid of these lesions before they get worse. Best
Phil

Hi heavyphil, it's an interesting concept to focus only on the lesions, but my lesions didn't show cancer after a guided biopsy. Although one PI Rad 4 was very small and could have been missed with the needle, the other was large enough to hit. I've read that PI Rad 4 ratings are only cancerous 35% on average, so its not that unusual to have a negative result on a PI Rad 4 biopsy. Have you had different experiences?
