The first biopsy that was done over 4 years ago they graded as 3+4 =7 so had it sent off to John Hopkins for a second opinion and they came back as a 3+3=6 but my urologist at the med center still said it was a 7 then I had a second biopsy and they said that one was still a 7 then when they did this one it came back a 6 I am wondering if the med center has a new person that is grading the biopsies

Dr. Jonathan Epstein Who is one of the top pathologist in second opinions of biopsies has Said, during Videos I have seen, that You should check to see if the pathologist who is doing your biopsy is a specialist in prostate cancer or are they a specialist in some other issue and not really the right person to be doing your prostate cancer biopsy.
I know a few people who will ask about this and found out their pathologist was not a prostate cancer specialist. In that case, you cannot rely on them completely, You need to get a second opinion.
Dr. Epstein has done talks, recorded by ancan.org. If you go to their website, you can watch one.
