They may not know how fast the cancer will grow but they will know how aggressive the cancer is. There is a test called the Gleason test which indicates the aggressiveness of the cancer. I was diagnosed at age 51 after I had a PSA show a level of 6.4. The biopsy showed extensive cancer and a Gleason score of 7. I opted for a radical prostatectomy. The pathology from the prostate removed in surgery showed stage 3 prostate cancer and a Gleason score of 9, that's a very aggressive cancer.
Had I not had the PSA test my chances of survival would have been slim.
