Editor’s Pick: Cancel rushed surgery and get a second pathology opinion. (bj)

Topics Discussed
Get a second independent opinion on biopsy results before making a treatment decision; validate Gleason 3 + 3 by getting a second opinion on biopsy slides and transfer care to active surveillance friendly medical team; cancel rushed surgery appointment and get a second pathology opinion before choosing a treatment option; schedule post-surgical PSA sooner than 14 weeks and get germline testing given your family history of the BRCA gene; wait for the results of the Decipher genomic test to inform treatment decision; rectal bleeding 9 months post-treatment is likely hemorrhoids rather than radiation proctitis; seek a second opinion to clarify whether lesion is located at prostate base or mid-gland.

Hi Larry, I’ve seen Garzotto give a speech. I believe it was at the OHSU Prostate Conference in 2024. But I’ve never dealt with him one-on-one. So unfortunately I can’t really give you an informed opinion about him. —David
