If you had a biopsy, What was the Gleason score For those three cores. They are not a Gleason seven up from two since there is no Gleason two. Not quite sure what you even mean by that score.

After I had a second biopsy 16 years ago My doctor had me do a CT scan as well. The scan showed there might be something going on with the seminal vesicles. He then did another biopsy to check out my Seminal vesicles and did six cores as well. He thought that if my Seminal vesicles had something in them, I would need radiation instead of surgery. The six courses were all 3+3, The previous biopsy showed 3+4, but after surgery, they found 4+3. The biopsy sure doesn’t find everything.

@jeffmarc Thanks Jeff, your name sounds Italian, I am also, half on my dad's side.
Right, I got the results and all of the cores showed a 6 Gleason score, so I don't know where he got the 7? I just wonder if the procedure of biopsy stimulates more cancer cell growth and spread?
