Thanks for the reply.
When examining the removed prostate are those result different than the biopsy in many cases?
I assumed that between the MRI, CT, and biopsy that any breech would have been confirmed?
I have the book on order

There can be up and downgrading after the pathology. If you are statistically inclined, think of the Biopsy as an underpowered random sample since it is only N=12. So things may change once you can examine the entire prostate.

I have spoken to at least a dozen people that have had their PSA rise after having their prostate examined following surgery. It seems to be very common, Happen to me too.

In one case it actually was reduced so results may vary, just not very often!
