Same area for the pirads. The Gleason 6 never showed up on ANY of the MRI's. It was visible on the first biopsy taken 10 years ago. a single dot on a golf ball. I have had 6-8 MRI's and about the same number of biopsies since 2016. ALL have been clear of any cancer. It seems like BPH is the only concern, but the doctor says that the PSA is rising too rapidly for that. We just keep going in circles. More MRI's and biopsies, same clear results. That is good, but if the doctor believes that there is an underlying problem, then what is it? It obviously isn't prostate cancer or they would have discovered it by now.

@cspringford
Fqrequently high Gleason score results from a biopsy will show cancer that was not visible in the MRI.

A PSE test can tell you whether or not you have cancer in your body when the MRI shows nothing but your PSA is rising.
