Consultation with urologist about mri results

@jeffmarc You are correct, and I did get a biopsy earlier this year and completed 20 photon beam treatments two weeks ago. I wonder why my Mayo urologist did not suggest this test? Should I ask?

I did not have the explanation that you had radiation after a biopsy. You didn’t mention what the Gleason score results were from the first biopsy. That left me thinking you had not had any treatment and the First biopsy was clear.
The EXODX is usually done before a first biopsy to figure out whether you need one. That further led to confusion. Similarly, a PSE test is to be done before the biopsy To decide whether you need one.
Once you’ve had treatment, then you don’t get another biopsy of your prostate. You may get a biopsy of an area near there if a PET scan shows there’s something to biopsy..
Once you have had treatment, you want to get a decipher test, Prolaris test or an ArteraAI test to find out your chance of reoccurrence.
