What does it mean if, in addition to cancer, my biopsy report also says atypical glands or atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP) or glandular atypia or atypical grandular proliferation?

All of these terms mean the pathologist saw something in your biopsy that suggests cancer may be present, but they cannot be certain.  For individuals with known prostate cancer this is no longer relevant.

What I know now I wish I knew before…getting checked early can save your life.
