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".
