Hello,

In cases where prostate cancer is detected through a biopsy and multiple cores are positive for cancer, the prognosis and potential for complete cure will depend on various factors such as the stage of the cancer, the patient's age, overall health, and other medical conditions.

A Gleason score of 3+3=6 (Grade group 1) is considered a low-grade prostate cancer, and it has a relatively good prognosis compared to higher grade cancers.

It's important to note, however, that the Gleason score is just one of several factors that are taken into account when determining a patient's prognosis and treatment options.

The treatment options for low-grade prostate cancer include active surveillance, surgery, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy.

Active surveillance involves regular monitoring of the cancer to see if it progresses.

Surgery and radiation therapy aim to remove or destroy the cancerous tissue.

Hormone therapy can be used to reduce the amount of testosterone in the body, which can slow the growth of the cancer cells.

In some cases, the cancer may be eliminated altogether with treatment, especially if it is caught early and has not spread beyond the prostate gland.

However, in some cases, the cancer may come back even after successful treatment.

That's why it's important to work closely with their healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your individual situation.

Hope this helps.
