“now so a man is diagnosed with glein 6 prostate cancer if it is of low volume let's call that between one and four cores which is the most common thing that we would find okay and that one or four samples of a systematic biopsy or if you target a lesion on the MRI we consider that just to be one region so if you did five samples of an MRI suspicious RADS 4 lesion and all five samples came out gleon six we would just call that one area of visible cancer in those situations we we generally would say you are somebody who is a candidate who can have their prostate cancer followed”
“so glein six prostate cancer that's glein 3 plus 3al six prostate cancer is the least aggressive type of prostate cancer when you look at it under the microscope and it has a very favorable prognosis meaning um those prostate cancers the thought process should be um I need to find some data that will convince me that this cancer requires treatment because the recommendation on average is that these cancers can be monitored”
