Thanks for your input. I am seeing for a consult a physician from Sloan Kettering and then someone from N.Y. Langone…the founder of Cyberknife. Both are NCI designated centers. My decision has not made yet …still open to radiation.

For unfavorable intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer with cribriform features, the most effective treatment combines:

External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
Brachytherapy (Boost)
Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)
Possible Addition of Androgen Receptor Inhibitor (ARi) like Darolutamide
I was discouraged from surgery due to the inevitability of salvage radiation therapy given cribriform, and the usually-associated perineural invasion
