How many cores? And follow-up with results received

PNI is very common and usually not considered an adverse feature. Definitely get the second opinion and also talk to your urologist at Moffitt. You may be a candidate for active surveillance with only Gleason 6 cores. But two of the four have a high volume, which may be a concern.

Get a second reading of your biopsy too, ideally before seeing someone at Mayo. Johns Hopkins is a good place for that.

@topf Won't Mayo do a second opinion on the pathology and/or their own tests?
