Surgery or Radiation if large cribriform found in biopsy?

Thank you for that Jeff.
I'm a little unclear on whether he can provide second opinions on tissue pathology, resulting from my RP, as opposed to results from needle biopsies. The biopsy I had a year ago did mention Perineural Invasion, but nothing about Cribriform, although as I said, it actually showed a higher Gleason grade than turned out to be the case after the RP.
Unsure whether a second opinion at this point will affect any future decisions, as I expect that will be more dependent upon PSA than anything, e.g. if it reaches the 0.2 ng/ml level.

You want the second opinion on the tissue after the radical prostatectomy?

There’s a lot more information there than there is in a biopsy that only gets 1% of the prostate.

But don’t take my word for it. Talk to Dr. Epstein and see what he thinks.. We will talk to you there is no problem getting his help before doing the second opinion
