Wow that shows how strange this prostate cancer is, I had a MRI first and it showed a PIRAD 5 lesion. Then the biopsy were done. I thought they would just biopsy the lesion. However, when I showed up they did 3 biopsy of the PIRAD 5 lesion and then 12 more, 6 each side. The PIRAD 5 lesion was just 3+3. They found 4+3 in other areas, 2 with cribiforms. So the MRI missed the real problem area.

I still remember going in for my biopsy due to a PIRADS 4 lesion. 15 cores also, three from lesion and six random grid from each side. When I went in with the Urologist for results he asked if I wanted the good news or bad news first. I said good and he said the PIRADS 4 lesion was benign, now the bad news, the other random cores had two 6’s, (3+3), two favorable 7’s (3+4) and one 8 (4+4). Good thing once you go in they don’t stop with the PIRAD lesions.

You really hit it on the button. We’ve run into so many cases in this forum where people had positive cores outside of the spots where PIRADS lesions were found in the MRI.
It’s so important to get multiple spots biopsied.
