Re: "If you had two or more biopsies, ......"

Darryl,

I had 2 biopsies. The first was negative; the second was 4+3.

This sort of thing must be common.

A biopsy can easily miss a 3+3 with tertiary 4.

I had 2 biopsies - June and Aug. 2016. Both had 1-core Gleason 6 (less than 5% in each core).

Biopsies are not very accurate unless you get an MRI Fusion Guided biopsy.

[Emak1]

3 biopsy

1) neagative

2) GL6

3) mri guided GL7(3+4). Off to an RP

I should have added that the post above is due to not finding a relevant option in the survey. -Patrick

[jimk_mb in reply to pjoshea13]

Yes, I didn't respond either as I didn't know how to report 2 negative blind biopsies followed finally by a definitive MRI guided fusion biopsy.

I had a MRI guided fusion biopsy and it came back with Gleason 4+3, stage T2c. I'm thankful I had a thorough biopsy otherwise it might have been missed. Now awaiting RP 7th or 12th Dec.

Best of luck Patrick
