You can avoid ADT therapy under that condition. But the Gleason score alone is not enough to make that decision.
You do not mention having a biopsy. Did you have one?
Were any of these things found in the biopsy intraductal, ductal, large cribriform, Seminal vesicle invasion, EPE or ECE. (Extraprostatic extensions extra capsular extensions). They can make the cancer much more aggressive. If you have some of these, you may need ADT.
Here is a list of the tests people take to decide whether or not they have prostate cancer and need a biopsy. You will notice that the PSE test has much higher accuracy, The ExoDx, not so much.
