I have a question for you...small cribriform or cribriform that is larger than .25 mm ?
If your surgeon take out prostate...checked margin...send it during surgery to hospital pathologist department and all margin came negative ...Why is large cribriform can still cause problems after....cancer was inside prostate all test confirmed...How to determine the reason for us..
perhaps it was a bad surgeon... or a poor pathology department... or maybe our body simply reacted that way genetically.

All I can do is give you the Technical information about the chance of reoccurrence with large cribriform.
Large cribriform pattern in prostate cancer is a significant adverse feature, highly associated with increased risks of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after prostatectomy. Studies indicate large cribriform patterns correlate with higher Decipher scores, 16-fold higher risk of BCR, and, in cases of severe cribriform, recurrence rates can be as high as 75%.
This could be because some of the cancer gets out of the prostate before it gets recognized. Like dormant cells that get sent to many different places in your body, and hide out so they can’t even be seen, but if you get stressed, they can pop up and become cancerous again.
Prostate cancer has weird ways to propagate.
