Gleason7(3+4) - treatment options recommendation
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 2 hours ago | Replies (251)Comment receiving replies
I just joined this group. Similar situation, I am 57 with a Gleason 3+4 intermediate, favorable diagnosis. Decipher test was very favorable. I have not yet seen discussion of Active Surveillance, which is the direction I am leaning. This keeps my options open with no immediate risk. Anyone follow this path?

You sure are a lot of active surveillance discussions in this forum.
With a 3+4 and a low percentage of four in the cores that are 3+4, then you have a good chance of doing active surveillance. Here are some videos from experts about active surveillance. The first one may be most interesting to you.

Many discussions, use the search bar and type in active surveillance. Very appropriate option. Good luck.
