Q. What does the prostate biopsy suggest?
Hi doctor,
Here are the results of a prostate biopsy. What do you think of the results? Do you recommend surgery or chemotherapy for a 71 year old?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- The prostate biopsy report is suggestive of high grade prostate adenocarcinoma.
- So, the recommended treatment would be either a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy in the form of IMRT (intensity-modulated radiation therapy).
- No role for chemotherapy as a primary treatment. You should get a bone scan done to rule out pelvic metastases.
