AB A  65-year-old  man  in  good  health  comes  to  the  office  having  had  a  prostate  specific  antigen  (PSA)  test  performed  at  a  local  health  fair.  He  reports  a  normal  voiding  pattern  and  normal  erectile  function  with  no  evidence  of  weight  loss  or  bone  pain.  He  has  no  major  medical  problems  but  does  have  a  strong  family  history  of  prostate  cancer.  His  PSA  is  9.3  ng/mL  and  he  chooses  to  have  a  prostate  biopsy.  Pathology  demonstrates  prostate  cancer  with  a  Gleason  score  of  6  (Figure  73-1).
