Peripheral Zone: Patchy low T2 weighted areas without significant
restricted diffusion or abnormal enhancement. Findings are due to sequela
of infectious or inflammatory disease most likely.

Just a layman here, but sequela of infection/ inflammatory disease indicates that what he is seeing on MRI is more suggestive of a previous prostatitis or infection - not a malignancy.
Again, I am just translating the statement you present.
