It is why many of us agree with our medical doctors to have a Decipher or similiar test. Those test determine if your cancer is low risk, intermediate, or high risk.
The amount of biopsies is decided by the urologist. My Mayo urologist uses what they call MRI/fusion/biopsies. They use (per my urologist) the MRI (mine was with contrast) to guide the urologist to the areas of suspicion. It is not full proof but urologist will decide where to biopsy.
Have you talked to your doctors about test like Decipher for a better diagnoses of the risk level of your P.C. if you have had a biopsy?

@jc76 I’m waiting on my Prolaris test results but I understand this or the Decipher tells me how aggressive the cancer is and not the current stage it is now as determined by the biopsy.
