You can not know at what time frame the grade 4 started .. you would need time study of several biopsies, without treatment. these studies have most likely been recreated in the labs with micros, and this is the science they base protocol on..these protocols most likely get reevaluated with every new proven theory..this being why the major clinics have the latest and usually best available treatments

Why would you need ANY of that. You know the highest level of aggressiveness in the lesion/prostate (that from pathology reports saying there is 4 in there in these examples) and you know pretty close to exactly how much. That provides everything needed. You don't need what you are saying at that point, yes for history maybe is nice information, but a history should not dictate anything it is just "history".
