What is high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia?
Community Member
a month agoFinished my first week of radiation for my prostate cancer stage 1 grade 2. My urologist fully explained I.had 2 areas 3+ 4 and 1 area 3+ 3. That made my case a grade 2. When reviewing my results 1 biopsy also showed High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia. I dont remember my urologist describing what that was. I looked it up and it pre cancer tissue lurking around that area of the prostate. Ill ask my urologist how or if thst is being treated

a month agoHigh grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) is indeed a precancerous condition where cells in the prostate show abnormal changes but haven't yet become cancer. It's great that radiation treatment has started and asking the urologist about how this finding factors into the overall treatment plan is a smart next step. Many others in this community have navigated similar questions about their pathology reports, so sharing what's learned from that conversation could be helpful for everyone here.
