Sorry for confusion - the suspicious was only for intraductal proliferation. Cribriform & perineural invasion identified.

If you have cribriform then your actual Gleason score is effectively much higher, as if they were a five in the two numbers. Especially high if the cribriform is more than a .25 mm.

Both surgery and radiation will have about the same effect. Advantage of surgery is that it allows you to do effective radiation after. If you do, radiation surgery is difficult.
