Hi @shelby29, I hope you saw the helpful response from @spryguy. @zj69 and @ford1929 also had cribriform pattern present.

"The presence of a cribriform pattern is now recognized as a clinically important, independent adverse prognostic indicator for prostate cancer. For this reason the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) recently recommended its inclusion in standard reporting."

Shelby, have you and your husband had the appointment to discuss with results of the biopsy with your cancer team yet? How are you doing?

4 consults, no one mentioned cribriform. I just did my own research and it scared me. Gleason 8, stage T3b, seminal vesticle invasion. We have an ecology appt in 2 weeks and will ask about this.
