this actually looks pretty good. Only one, 3+4, surprising to see that the tumor is 20% of Prostate gland. That’s pretty large.
I’m a little puzzled about the pT2p Since T2 is only a, b or c.
You see perineural invasion in almost every biopsy. Mine had it my brothers had it so many people that have had posted them have it.
“The tumor involves the apical margin”. This meant it went to the edge but maybe not beyond it. Did you ask the doctor whether or not that actually means the margins are not clear? In that case, they would say ECE and some situations to imply it was outside.
