Are these really great breakthroughs

So if you want to talk about just the average outcome, you can get a prediction of the probability of progression after 5 & 10 years after your SRT as a starting point from a nomogram…I’m sure you’ve already done that.  Keeping in mind that many men do not progress, extrapolate to find the year where the probability crosses 50%.  After that there is the HT-induced remission; Dr Mohler uses 5-years as typical (not 1-5 years; except for particularly aggressive cancers, that’s a myth).  The Myers article I linked above says this in addressing the myth about the short-term benefit of HT:

“I conclude that hormonal therapy is far more durable than generally thought. In fact, almost all men who recur after radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy will continue to respond to hormonal therapy after five years and about half will continue to respond after ten years.”

Nobody can predict with certainty any particular outcome for anybody with any cancers--certainly you understand the statistical concept of variation--but the key is to do everything in your power to push yourself to the right-hand side of the skewed survival curve.  What variables can you affect?  If you want a conventional outcome, then just stick to conventional treatment.  In my humble opinion, anyone who uses only alternative medicine techniques (and completely foregoes traditional medical approaches such as surgery, radiation, HT, etc) to combat prostate cancer is foolish.  At the same time, anyone who uses only traditional aggressive medical techniques (previously listed) without supplementing with integrative medicine techniques such as lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress reduction, etc) is similarly imprudent.
