I would suggest less guessing and more self education on Prostate Cancer .

Read " Dr. Patrick Walsh's 5th Edition " Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer ."

Dr. Walsh is the world's foremost authority on prostate cancer. He is the Distinguished Professor of Urology at the Brady Institute of the John Hopkins medical institutions in  Baltimore , Maryland, USA .

Regarding Prostate Volume ( size ) , T signal , TI- Rads Score and Tumor Size .  These are all spelled out on your MRI Report .

I always , after an MRI Receive . A paper copy plus a CD-ROM  & Memory Stick .

Always get a 3T MRI  NOT the 1.5T machine .

They normally list the prostate size on your MRI report if you had one.

I’m feeling inadequate - but in a good way!

PSA 6.5 and gland volume of 16ml giving a PSA density of 0.36.

Yes, they were very specific about the MRI being 3T and told me the T is for Tesla, by the way!

I've just undergone the MRI and biopsy for suspected PCa,  thankfully no sign of malignancy found.

My prostate volume was 65ml with a PSA density of 0.07, whatever that means.

The biopsy showed Acinar Atrophy and active non granulomatous inflammation, again no idea what that all means.

I'm left wondering if I need to do anything as regards PSA testing in future or if I can just forget my prostate altogether.  

Urology kind of left me feeling I had wasted their time.

Mine is 26cc with PSA moving about between 5-6.

T2 N0 M0 originally with latest biopsy T1.

I remember seeing a medical programme on the BBC a couple of years ago where they had a procedure for reducing an enlarged prostate by blocking the supplying blood vessels with small plastic beads (if there isn't enough already in our food and water!).

I dont recall at what size they consider such a procedure valid, but I believe the patient had a huge one, but he didn't have PC.

so as per normal when the discussion relates to the size of men's bit I'm left feeling on the small side of the scale 😂

Prostate was reported as 35cc and tumour at 10mm

'Glands less than 50cc are considered normal, 50-80cc is midsize, and larger than 80cc is large. Interestingly, there is a positive correlation between larger glands and higher PSA values. For older men, a rise in PSA is more likely to mean BPH than PCa.'

Apparently the largest ever surgically removed prostrate was almost 700cc! It must have been like giving birth. 🙂
