Can you elaborate on longitudinal tracking?

I discussed the PIRADS-4 with the radiologist who rated the lesion. He recommended caution in proceeding with more tests. We will see what my PC urologist says later this month. At age 81 I am proceeding cautiously.

The trending data was in that screwed up table. Here is my trending data for PSA total, Free, and % Free from my hospital database, if I can successfully post it as an attachment.

Did I have BPH? I can only say, two docs in recent years have said: "You have a very large prostate". I had some symptoms as well.

Then, when it came to the radiation of my prostate, they determined that my "large prostate" was pressed up against my colon, so they successfully separated the two by inserting a gel ,.... hydrogel I believe. The pictures were dramatic. I have had zero colorectal symptoms from the procedure. I credit the gel.
