Sorry, didn't see it, will look for it now

If you're talking about the biopsy results, yes, the high PIN is another piece of clinical data in trying to decide to treat or actively monitor.

I still think with the clinical data you have, GS, PSADT, imaging results and biopsy, you may be ok with not treating and continuing to actively monitor.
I would consider a MRI vs TRUS biopsy, imaging every six months, PSA tests every three months.

Doing those may enable you not to treat for sone period with all the side affects while enabling you to treat if and when the data says so without a great degree of risk of it getting out of control.

Not your medical team and no medical training or certification so just my thoughts based on what I have learned in my journey.
