That is a lot of tumor in those four cores. It is not a lot of four, but there’s a lot of three in those cores.

I guess this is something you really needed to discuss with your doctor. Do they feel that the low amount of four would enable you to go on active surveillance safely?

Yes, Perineural invasion is present, but it is found in so many biopsies. It was found in mine and I’m still here almost 16 years later. They do say it adds aggressiveness. Maybe that’s a reason not to consider active surveillance. This looks like a case SBRT radiation could be successful in eliminating the problem.

Doctor pretty much gave me any option at this point. Been trying to do my due diligence, and narrow down choices. The area with a higher percentage of cancer and a few 4 cells , was my biggest concern. If not for that , I’d lean towards AS.
PSA and Decipher scores are at least encouraging.
