Most every test you get related to prostate cancer results in a number that will be in the report. Those numbers are the primary drivers of next steps and treatment recommendations;
> PSA tests result in a PSA number.
> MRIs result in a PIRADS number.
> Biopsies result in a Gleason number.
> PSMA PET scans result in a SUVmax number.

Always ask for the number. If they only say that it’s low, medium, or high, that’s not enough to go from.

I'm familiar with the SUV number oncologist went over that on my second PET Scan.
