Prostate cancer : You can get bone scan and CT or MRI of pelvis at this time. Discuss with your urologist for further information regarding management especially timing of surgery, in some cases it can be waitful watching for 3-6 months for progress or stable conditions. Good luck. Hopefully it helps.

MRI: if it hasn’t been done, an MRI might give you grater assurance. However, with a gleason score of 6 the need for further work up is probably not necessary. Your best source of your prostate cancer is YOUR UROLOGIST.
