A member asked:
Hi. if someone had a 12 point prostate biopsy, and out of 12 samples, only 3 samples showed cancer, could this hint at low stage or high stage prostate cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stage is determined by the degree of involvement of the prostate e. g. one side , both sides etc, spred outside. Your Urologist will explain that to you depending on the sites positive.
