Hi. My husband recently diagnosed with Intraductal carcinoma of prostate. Lesion Pirus 4 on MRI. Biopsy showed no invasive cancer cells. Oncologist was very reassuring and said very low grade and advised active surveillance. However, everything I read about Intraductal carcinoma describes it as associated with high grade and aggressive. I would like a second opinion but my husband has confidence with the Oncologist. It’s causing stress in our relationship. Does anyone know if I’m overreacting?
