Hi Everyone,

I have some pathology report questions, what does the following mean:

1.  Perineural Invasion Identified

2.  High Grade Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasin Identitified

3.  Margin, Left Neurovascular bundle biopsy is mentioned in the report and the Right is not

What follow-up tests are typically done post surgery?

Thank you.

Big Hugs,

AEG

One more question, what is the long term impact on having 6 lymph nodes removed?

Thank you again!

Hi AEG
This is Kitt and I will try to answer your questions however your physician and some wiser member than I may have the best answers for you.
AEG, I do not have the answer for the impact of the 6 lymph nodes and the diease process is based on many factors.
You have the right as a patient to speak with the pathologist to have he/she explain the results to you as well as talking to your physician.
Gentle Hugs to you.

AEG,

There shouldn't be much of a problem at all with 6 node removed. We have so many in the pelvis. If there were a problem it would be in the way of reduced lymph drainage.....leg swelling.

Follow up is managing side effects and monitoring your PSA. Some Doc's still do DREs and some believe there is no need with a negative PSA. Unless there is a rise in your PSA, no further treatment is necessary.

Take Care, Swim
