What Does This Biopsy Report Indicate?
Hi, I just had a prostate biopsy. I had 2 of the 12 samples showing signs of non aggressive cancer. my Gleason scores were 3+3 and 3+4 in the right apical area. My doctor recommended removing the prostrate. My PSA blood work was 7.0. i am 57 years old. Can I just do a active surveillance and have blood work done and a biopsy done again in a year?

Hello,
I would advise you to do surgery followed by chemotherapy with docetaxel for 6 cycles at 21 days interval. You need to do PSA test every 3 monthly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Monish De
