hello,
I’m newly diagnosed and received the following results :
Can someone tell me what target1-2 means? I also got the prostox result from UCLA and was considered low risk and waiting for treatment options. What are the best options? I’m 76. Thank u kindly
Looks like they took 3 samples from two lesions. Target 1-2 is second biopsy sample from lesion 1. I am assuming you had mri that identified two lesions. Right?
if you didn’t have a mri guided biopsy, then it just an indication of a region in a systematic biopsy
It's just their code for the targeted areas. It looks like they took 3 cores from 2 suspicious areas, and 2 cores from the rear apex. Fortunately, every treatment option - surgery, SBRT, brachytherapy - has an excellent chance of being curative. Take your time. Meet with specialists. There's no reason to rush into anything.
Welcome to the Forum! It's great that you're starting early to ask questions. You will find a wealth of knowledge here.
What's your PSA? PIRADS score? MRI stage? With that, we can determine your NCCN risk group (which helps guide treatment choices).

You might ask about MRI directed SBRT. It was available till last October but company turnover made it unavailable till recent turnaround. It should be back soon at UCLA. I had it in September and quite easy. Data shows considerably less side effects that CT guided SBRT. 5 treatments over 5 or 10 days. Just lay in machine for 45 minutes each time . With your pathology you have time so don’t push for immediate treatment till explore options. Brachytherapy is also good option with excellent long term data
thank you everyone for all your comments! I will be weighing all of my options.
