What do you think comes next for me?

This does look a little chancy. The PIRADS Score doesn’t really imply you have a cancer. They normally would take 12 cores, but they only took 10. They only do about one percent of the prostate so it is likely there is something else going on in there and that is because.

High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) on a prostate biopsy means that cells lining the prostate glands look abnormal (high-grade) but have not yet invaded the surrounding prostate tissue, indicating a potential precursor to cancer rather than cancer itself. While not cancer, it warrants close monitoring and potential rebiopsy, as it can be found alongside prostate cancer.

Another biopsy of the area that showed this abnormality would make sense.

@jeffmarc Thanks for replying. I should have included more details. The biopsy covered 10 areas of my prostate. The test results indicates 28 cores taken from those ten areas. Six of the 28 cores were adenocarcinoma.
