Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / December 2003Another lurker
Been an unwilling member of your club since last August. Enjoy the group and the great information. Here's my info and question. Age 64 PSA 07-10-03 6 Biopsy 08-14-03 16 cores T1C GS 3+3 10% one core left side PRP 10-14-03 Right nerve bundle spared Post Op Path Report - GS 3+3 This lesion is seen as a small area in the subapical portion of the gland (Wt 122 grams). The proximal urethral, bladder nect, seminal vesicle, and periprostatic soft tissue margins are negative for involvement. Focal perineural involvement is noted. First PSA test secheduled for 01-05-04 Question for the group, good path report with a big maybe. Focal perineural involvement? Doc say's possible escape route but no reason to believe that the cancer is not contained. Any info that the group can share? Jerry > Been an unwilling member of your club since last August.

I try not to get too involved in all the technical information and let my Dr. tell me what's bad and what's good. I guess I'm more interested in the report being really mine or did they get it mixed up with another Dale J. It does happen sometimes although not to me so far. When I get my PSA tested I make sure they have several verification points, such as S.S., birth date, street address, P. number, middle name. Quiz them make sure that it's really your record. Dr. Walshes book touched on perineural invasion, P. 145. You had neg margins so that's the good news and regardless of the perineural invasion it was contained. It sounds like you're good to go Jerry. Dale J.  SignatureEmail: dalej2@mac..com Jerry, sorry about having to join the club. As for your Path Report, it looks real good to me. The perineural involvement is common and the least serious of all the "bad" things that can occur. In fact, two doctors told me it is of little consequence - they see it all the time. You're doc's comments are right on. I suspect you'll get a good PSA and many more to come. Happy holidays, Dave Perry > Been an unwilling member of your club since last August.

It may or may not have escaped. The good news is with a Gleason of 6 and age 64, you're in a pretty company as far as odds are. You'll probably have a PSA every 3 months and no news is good news.
