@jeffmarc Gleason 7 (
4+3 75%).
On my MRI they said two tumors PiRADS 5. Mayo reviewed it and said PiRADS 3. Originally on the biopsy it was a proposed Gleason 8 (one core was 4+4 with intraductal. ) Post surgery no intraductal found. Cribriform pattern was in the final pathology report but no immediate concern since pathology and PSMA/CT were clean. Gleason set at 7.
I did have a minor ECE (Extracapsular Extension) so we will monitor appropriately. Do I have a higher chance of recurrence? Possibly. But the treatment options keep growing. At my age 10 years is a lifetime.
