.17 is real low and would possibly mean you could go on active surveillance. It would depend on how many cores had 3+4 and what percentage of the cores. Other problematic issues, seen in the biopsy, could require treatment.

Here is a video with Dr. Laurence Klotz, one of the experts on active surveillance. He can give you answers as to why you would or would not be a good candidate for active surveillance.

Very interesting. One confusing thing is that he says around 1:15 in that GG2 is also low risk but then he spends the rest of the discussion on active surveillance in reference to GG1, so it's really hard to know from this video whether a GG2 really qualifies for active surveillance after all.
