BIRADS 5 AND 155.0 cc prostate
New here and thankful to connect. Im 74 years old, scheduled for a targeted biopsy next Friday. Heres my details so far.
🚩Birads 5 parametric MRI finding
🚩Lesion location peripheral zone
🚩 lesion Size .5cm x 1.7 cm
🚩Shape: irregular/ elongated with long curvilinear contact
🚩DWI/ADC: 5.5 water molecule
🚩DCE positive blood flow angiogenisis
🚩 very large prostate 155.0 cc
🚩PSA 17 (adjusted for finasteride)* been on finasteride for 7 yrs
So- going to get this thing examined and scored. Id like to hear any insights particularly from individuals with a prostate the size of mine who opted for surgery. I understand that robotic surgery would be an option?
In advance- thank you so much for any wisdom you might have to share.

My understanding is Medicare insurance will not cover it.
The one big advantage of using this option is that you can talk to the doctor for quite a while about what’s going on with the results of the biopsy.

1 Reaction@jeffmarc thanks ! I contacted them a message to get back to me ! Thanks again !! 500$ is well worth it!!! I can’t get past that my decipher score and my Gleason score are so different!! My urologist likes technology and the decipher score over pathology report
