Your father has somewhat increased chance for recurrence but nothing is written in stone.

There are statistics that show increased risk, but nothing is guaranteed in either direction. It is VERY good that you are doing your research and continue to do so since in case of PC it is very important. PC has many forms and many stages as well as many , many treatment options if and when they become necessary. . 👍🍀

Try to concentrate on good findings - negative margins are a huge help. Also his EPE is in low gleason area. His tumor burden is low. They did not find any features that point to aggressive and fast spreading cancer like "big cribriform glands, or intraductal carcinoma ".

Your father should concentrate to healing from surgery and before the first PSA level is checked one can not know more but there are good chances that PSA might come back undetectable. IF it is not, he will have some radiation in that area combined with short course of ADT and that protocol still has very good curative rates.

Don't forget that your father has one of the most important factors - YOU 💗😊 by his side and with your support, good nutrition and exercise he will heal fast and overcome recurrence if it ever happens.

Wishing your father super fast recovery and undetectable PSA 🤗🍀 !
