Comments on: I’ve just been diagosed with prostate cancer. This is the doctors report as sent to me. I have reviewed 12 H&E slides and one immunostained slide A-L representing prostrate needle biopsies from the above-named patient; a 71 old male. Slide B,which is to said to come from the left lateral mid,contains a focus of prostatic adenocarcinoma,Gleason 6(3+3) involving one of one core with a linear dimension of approximately 0.8mm which represents 7% OF of th tissue submitted.A corresponding immunohistochemical stain for high molecular weight cytokcratin falls lo demonstrate a basal cell layer in the neoplastic glands,supporting a malignant diagnosis.Slide G which is said to come from the right base,contains high-grade prostatic,intraepithefial neoplasia(PIN).The remainder of the biopsies contain benign prostatic tissue.My doctor recommends IMRT radiation. I am thinking about seed implant,or to do nothing.What treatment would you recommend,and side effect of the treatment.I am in good health with no urinary problem.Thank You.
