How much of the prostrate tissue is removed during HoLEP

This is something you can’t ignore. You could try active surveillance but knowing that 20% of the tissue was cancerous means that you need to keep track of this closely if picking AS.
If you got a decipher test and it came in very low, then active surveillance could make sense.
What is your PSA? You don’t mention it, If it’s low like below 3 then maybe active surveillance could work for you.
I would definitely ask the doctor what they would recommend for your situation. Get PSA tests every 3 months if you decide on AS.
It also would make sense to get a second opinion from a different doctor. A Doctor at a center of excellence would be a good choice for a second opinion.

My PSA in DEC 2024 2.03, surgery was March 27th. Waiting for Decipher test results, followed by PSMA PET/MRI and the same for the Pelvic region with and without regents, followed by PSA and then consult with Doc.
Is UCSF considered good for these types of procedures
"A Doctor at a center of excellence would be a good choice for a second opinion" Any suggestions
