That’s either T1 or T2 a. The thing is, Many of the people in this forum, that have had their biopsy done, have found that the cancer was in area not seen on the MRI. If they didn’t really get a broad range of cores From both sides of the prostate, It is possible that they missed a lot. A biopsy only gets about 1% of the prostate. If they didn’t examine the other side you don’t know what could have been found, Unless you have a prostatectomy.
If it truly is on only one side, then it might be possible to do focal therapy.

@jeffmarc Missed: "Another 12 systemic samples taken from the prostate were all negative." So 12 standard TRUS + 12 targeted. So 16 with benign and 8 cancer all from targeted lesion.
