At the PCI conference, they said if more than six were 3+3 something should be done. Having all 3+3 is really on the edge of dangerous. Make sure to get a follow up biopsy within no more than a year.and check that PSA regularly. This is a sign of a somewhat aggressive lead up. Remember, they only get about one percent of the prostate when they do a biopsy.

@jeffmarc my renown urologist had a MRI done first , then laid image with ultrasound . Then could take good samples of the instead of somewhat blind samples
Most do a biopsy first ,due to insurance old protocols.

You’d think with ultrasound guided biopsies of today they would be fairly accurate? Thoughts ?

@jeffmarc Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your feedback I have follow up appointments with my urologist and RO next week, waiting to hear their prognosis and recommendation going forward. Will keep you guys posted-looks like active surveillance with PSA every 6 months and yearly biopsy.
