@bjroc Agree that there is a lot of over treatment being done but not always for the money. Some doctors are more aggressive then others.
The MRI is just a piece of the puzzle. You should never treat and don't think a doctor would treat on just an MRI finding. This is why a biopsy is next procedure to do to see extent of cancer. If Biopsy shows significant cancer then a PSMA test should be done. Then you can look at options to treat. Of course it's always a plus to do some genome tests like the Decipher, Ateria AI, etc
Wishing you the best.
