At Mayo Clinic, do pathologists always check IDC, report it if found?
I got back biopsy report show "large cribriform" but not others, like IDC (Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P)). Since "large cribriform" has strong connection with IDC, I am wondering if the IDC is not omitted in the report or not checked at all at Mayo.
Anyone has knowledge on this?
Thanks

@benzo, this is a question best asked on your Mayo patient portal account. It may not be the same for everyone. Do you have the patient portal set up?

1 ReactionMy post surgery report just started "cribriform: present"
It is possible to have large cribriform Without intraductal. I am pretty sure they would’ve included it if it had been found.

3 ReactionsMy post surgery said cribriform: present, but no IDC identified. Which they had said how large the cribriform was, just said present. I may still get that answer, going to get appointment soon with pathologist.
Sometimes wonder if I shouldn't get prostate sent to a place like mayo for testing, doubt Medicare would pay for that second opinion.
