Cribriform present: What does this biopsy finding mean?

My husband's pathology also said cribriform present. When I Googled it, it was a bit alarming. The medical and surgical teams told us it indicated his cancer could be more aggressive. What we gleaned from it was that we should move on a decision. He had robotic assisted prostatectomy in June, Mayo Rochester. All cancer gone, clean margins, and he's doing great. Good luck to you and your husband.

I had the same noted on my pathology report after my RALP in Aug 22. My surgeon/urologist who also heads up Research at his practice has never suggested any further treatment. My report also said no Intraductal cancer. He said my chance of BCR is 30 percent at 10 years. This agrees with the MSK calculators I have seen online which from what I can tell do not take Cribriform into account.
My Gleason was 4 + 3. So far my PSA has been less than 0.1. Hoping and praying it stays that way. I did ask to have my PSA checked every 4 months instead of 6.
