Active surveillance

Anyone on active surveillance with 4 cores G6?

5,5,10,15%
15 samples. 3 for targeted lesion. Those 3 benign. So 4 of the other 12 positive.

PSA 3.66 to 4.06 in about 2 years.

DJL21,
For me, that stat alone would make feel reluctant to pursue anything other than AS. Some prostate cancers put out low PSA increases, but your other indicators don't point that way at all.

What does the Uro say?

That’s eye catching.

What percentage of those 4 were G6? Definitely a difference between 5% each and 95% each. Were they all on the left or right side? Or spread out?

Your PSA density is another metric to consider. You could also have your biopsy analyzed for genomics.

These are all things I would consider in an AS decision, but it sounds like you are in the middle of the AS range.
