Two types of staging
There are 2 types of staging for prostate cancer:
The clinical stage
The clinical stage is your doctor’s best estimate of the extent of your disease, based on the results of the physical exam (including DRE), laboratory tests, prostate biopsy, and any imaging tests you’ve had.
The pathologic stage
The pathologic stage, which is based on the surgery and examination of the removed tissue
