Prostate Gland Vas Deferens Testicle

ABOUT YOUR BIOPSY Biopsy cores were taken from several different areas of your prostate to get a representative sampling of the entire gland. After the procedure, the tissue samples were sent to our laboratory. There, a pathologist examined the biopsy cores under a microscope and determined that there were cancerous cells present.

YOUR PROST ATE MAP The diagram to the left illustrates wbich areas of your prostate tissue contain malignant cancer cells. The percentage shown in each area illustrates the amount of the biopsy core where cancer cells were found.

You may also see additional numbers (i.e., 3+3=6) in some of the areas. These numbers illustrate your Gleason grade and score. The Gleason grade is a rating from I (least aggressive) to 5 (most aggressive) that indicates the aggressive potential of the cancer. This grade is determined by the pathologist, based on tbe shape and arrangement of the cancer cells within the biopsy tissue.

MAUGtu..HT-..

Your Gleason score is the key number to note. This is the combination ofthe Gleason grade of the two largest areas of cancer in the biopsy tissue. This number from 2 to 10 tells you and your doctor how aggressive your cancer may be. Generally, cancers with scores lower than 7 are less aggressive, with those above 7 being more aggressive. INFORMA nON AND RESOURCES Most men diagnosed with prostate cancer in America today can be effectively treated with minimal risk for serious side effects.

(phone 800-808-7866) is a nationwide network of support groups for men witb prostate cancer as well as their wives and families. They provide information, counseling and educational meetings.

TREATMENT OPTIONS Every patient diagnosed with prostate cancer must make a decision, along with his physician, as to what kind of treatment is best. Before selecting a course of treatment, make sure you have a sense of your cancer's current state and its potential for future growth. The most common treatment options for prostate cancer include: • •

Surgery (radical prostatectomy, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy) Radiation therapy - external beam radiotherapy or radioactive seed implantation (brachytherapy)

•

Cryotherapy (freezing the prostate)

• •

Hormone therapy Active surveillance (also called "watchful waiting")

WHAT ELSE SHOULD YOU DO? •

Talk to your doctor. Ask questions about treatment plans that may be appropriate for you.

•

Write down your questions so you remember to ask your doctor about them. Tell your doctor and pharmacist about every medication and nutritional supplement you are taking.

•

Educate yourself and your family about your disorder and what it may mean. Exercise regularly. Do your best to maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
