Is it possible that with the PNI it has not spread outside the prostate? Hoping that even with the PNI he can be treated whether localized or spread

As I mentioned in the other message, the PNI that you have in his Biopsy results is not the more serious kind.
I know many people, including myself that had PNI And it was not a major factor.

Ask for the biopsy material to be used for a Decipher test which doctors do use to evaluate and change initial treatment choices and gives you a feel for aggressiveness.
If radiation, ask about the Mridian or Elekta Unity radiation machines that are the only two that have built in MRI versus fused images. The less healthy tissue exposed, the fewer the side effects and quality of life. These machines hit less healthy tissue.
