Intraductal prostate carcinoma: What is standard treatment?

Posted by dodgerblue @dodgerblue, May 1, 2023

Seems this diagnosis is rare. E Does anyone know what the “standard of treatment” t” is the best approach to this issue?

My husband's biopsy was reread by MSK and one of the cores said the following, "Focally suspicious for intraductal carcinoma (separate core)." He has been diagnosed with stage 4A prostate cancer with one pelvic lymph node involvement that I have written about here. Moving ahead with ADT then internal and external radiation. What does this new diagnosis of 'intraductal carcinoma mean for his treatment, cure etc? TIA
