Also, it is possible to also have BPH with G6? How about prostatitis at same time with G6? If so, then it seems it would be harder to tell if G6 turns to G7 based on PSA alone.

Question, if G6 should not be considered cancer, should we even think about areas of HGPIN on a biopsy?

BTW, I was diagnosed with HGPIN 12 years ago. even then docs were not sure what it was. A precursor to more serious cancer? Or not? It wasn't for me.

Good question. I'll try to write about this. I was diagnosed with HGPIN 12 years ago. Doctors seemed divided on whether it was a precursor to cancer or not. Have something. coming next week on perineural invasion--not as scary as it sounds.
