Your pathology report shows favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The confined stage (pT2N0) and absence of seminal vesicle or lymph node involvement indicate the cancer had not spread outside the prostate, though a microscopic positive apical margin means some cells were close to the edge of surgical removal.

Thank you!

It was the best I could do with my current version of AI (Anal Intelligence) . . .

Can we assume you had your prostate removed (prostatectomy)? Have you had your PSA checked recently?

Yes! I had my prostate removed in 2020 and 4 years later the cancer returned. In 2025 had radiation and my last two reading were 0.04 and next blood work is due in September.

Thanks
