You will need to study all the pieces to the puzzle from your tests so far, and future tests.

1. Pirads5 lesion is a piece of puzzle. Indicates lesion may be higher than 3+3. What is size of lesion? Larger the lesion can indicate more concern.

2. Biopsy cores only sample a small part of prostate. If you post your MRI and biopsy results, you will get better feedback.

3. 3+3 biopsy cores may mean 3+3 or it may mean 3+4 parts of lesion were not sampled.

4. Lesion being close to capsule wall increases concerns.

Best Wishes.
