Knowing the Difference Pi-rads 4 vs. stage 4 Cancer - KhadijahQ - 08-05-2023
Hi all and sundry, I've come across the term "pi-rads 4" in relation to prostate cancer, but I'm not confident if it's thesameas stage 4 cancer. Can somebody shed any light on this?

Have received it, that makes sense. So, if somebody receives a Pi-rads 4 rating on their prostate Mri, what are the next steps in terms of detection and treatment?

Customer one, when a suspicious lesion is identified with a Pi-rads 4 score, further diagnostic tests like biopsy can be suggested to bear out the presence of cancer and establish its aggressiveness. Treatment options will depend on various factors including the cancer stage, Gleason score, and general health of the patient.
