Cribriform pattern is indicative of possibly more advanced disease. If he was getting radiation, they’d boost the radiation to hit it harder and use ADT for a longer period.

What were his PSA and Gleason score?

@brianjarvis
Hi. Thank you for the response. His PSA in 12/25 was almost 4.
The highest Gleason score was a 7.
He has multiple areas of cancer in his prostate and an area of cribiform.
We didn't get much info regarding the cribiform. Or much info at all.
He's scheduled for prostate removal next month.
I'm concerned with the lack of information from the surgeon.

@brianjarvis, Hi Brian,
I'm sorry, the PSA was 4.6.
The doctor never gave us much information.
I have to say that I'm scared and I'm not sure how to discuss this with the doctor/surgeon.
He is scheduled for prostate removal and I think that this is the best option. The surgeon is well respected in robotic surgery. I just want to know more.
I appreciate you responding.
Thank you.
